Navaho Phonology

By Harry Hoijer

Book Overview

Navaho Phonology is a book written by Harry Hoijer that explores the phonology of the Navajo language, one of the most widely spoken indigenous languages in North America. The book provides a detailed analysis of the sound system of Navajo, including its consonants, vowels, and tonal patterns. Hoijer's analysis is based on extensive fieldwork and research, and he presents his findings in a clear and concise manner that is accessible to both linguists and non-linguists alike. The book also includes a discussion of the historical development of Navajo phonology and its relationship to other languages in the Athabaskan family. Overall, Navaho Phonology is an important contribution to the study of indigenous languages and a valuable resource for anyone interested in Navajo linguistics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
