Abstract

Particles in Athapaskan languages have discourse and syntactic functions. This paper looks at a sample of particles which have these functions, and attempts to answer to questions: 1) what is the primary translation and the secondary translation for each particle; 2) if speech is stripped of particles, is it still considered “fluent” speech?
