Anti-Homophony Effects in Dakelh (Carrier) Valence Morphology
In Dakelh (Carrier), as in many other Athapaskan languages, valence prefixes and “inner subject ” prefixes interact in a complex pattern involving a combination of consonant deletion and/or fusion and, in certain conditions, what looks like epenthesis. In this paper we investigate this apparent epen...
