| Summary: | Particles in Athapaskan languages have discourse and syntactic functions. This paper will look at a sample of particles which have these functions, and attempt to answer two questions: 1) What is the primary translation and the secondary translation for each panicle; 2) If speech is stripped of particles, is it still considered "fluent" speech? Cet article traite des particules que l'on trouve dans les langues athapaskanes et qui ont des fonctions syntaxiques, communicatives. À partir d'un échantillonnage de ces particules, on tente de répondre à deux questions : 1) quelle est la traduction primaire et secondaire de chaque particule ? et 2) si le discours est dépouillé de ces particules, peut-il toujours être considéré comme un discours structuré ? |
