Prospective aspect in Tlingit

This research investigates how future oriented phrases are constructed in Tlingit, a branch of the Na-Dene Athabaskan language family, spoken in Southeast Alaska, the Yukon, and parts of northern BC. Utilizing semantic fieldwork elicitation methods this work presents a thorough semantic analysis of...
