Deg Xinag Lexicon and Grammar

这个语言学项目包括对育空地区德格兴格方言（也被称为Ingalik， Dig Hit'an）的实地研究，这是一种濒临灭绝的阿萨巴斯坎语，在育空河和库斯科温河下游及其支流的几个村庄中使用。这项研究的主要成果将是一本语法书和一本字典。语法研究的一个特殊课题是时态序列。建议的项目将使用标准的语言访谈技巧来引出单词和句子，并进行语法判断。一些数字录音将用于分析感兴趣的语音结构。保护德兴语等濒危语言的价值是双重的。首先，保存下来的信息是文化的宝贵记录，对未来的社区成员很有意义。其次，这些信息是构建有效的人类语言多样性理论所必需的。

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.
