Witsuwit in a language

of the Athabaskan family that is spoken in western central British Columbia along the Bulkley and Morice Rivers and some other major bodies of water of the British Columbia Lakes District. Hargus (linguistics, U. of Washington) does not deal with syntax, focusing instead on word-base grammar partly because of the complexity of Witsuwit'en morphology and partly because of disagreements among prior researchers over aspects of the segmental phonology, necessitating an instrumental approach. Appendices survey writing systems, set out verb paradigms, and present two texts. Distributed in the US by University of Washington Press.
