0137483 Hargus该语言学项目涉及对Deg Xinag（也称为Ingalik，Dig Hit'an）的育空地区方言的实地研究，Deg Xinag是一种濒临灭绝的阿萨巴斯卡语言，在育空地区和Kuskokwim河及其支流沿着的几个村庄使用。 研究的主要成果将是语法和词典。 语法研究的一个特殊课题是时态序列。 该项目将使用标准的语言访谈技术，以引出单词和句子，以及语法判断。 一些数字录音将用于分析感兴趣的语音结构。 保护濒危语言如Deg Xinag的价值是双重的。 首先，保存下来的信息是一个有价值的文化记录，对社区的未来成员感兴趣。 其次，这些信息是构建人类语言多样性的有效理论所必需的。

0137483HargusThis linguistics project involves field research on the Yukon dialect of Deg Xinag (also known as Ingalik, Dig Hit'an), an endangered Athabascan language spoken in several villages along the lower Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers and tributaries thereof. Primary results of the research will be a grammar and a dictionary. A special topic of investigation for the grammar is a sequence of tense. The proposed project will use standard linguistic interview techniques to elicit words and sentences, and grammaticality judgments. Some digital recordings will be made for analysis of phonetic structures of interest. The value of preserving endangered languages such as Deg Xinag is twofold. First, the information preserved is a valuable record of the culture, of interest to future members of the communities. Second, such information is needed to construct valid theories of human linguistic diversity.
