In Benasnà â I Remember: Dene SųÅiné Oral Histories with Morphological Analysis, Josh Holden presents twelve autobiographical narratives about cultural change from Dene SųÅiné elders in an Aboriginal community in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. In ten interviews and two monologues, the speakers recount their 20th century: the rhythms of traditional life, the catastrophe of epidemics and language loss, the dizzying technological changes, their ambivalence over the past and their anxieties for the future. Accompanying the original Dene texts and free translation is an analytical interlinear gloss applying rigorous morphological and semantic principles to the parsing and glossing of words. The innovative interlinearization distinguishes grammar from visible etymologies. The volume contains a morphological sketch to illuminate grammatical issues in the interlinearization.
Josh Holden, Ph.D. (2011), University of Montreal, is a linguist and lexicographer at Druide Informatique in Montreal, Quebec. His is the author of an award-nominated doctoral dissertation on Dene SųÅiné, titled A Lexical Semantic Study of Dene SųÅiné, an Athabaskan Language.
