On Beginning the Study of the Tone System of a Dene (Athabaskan) Language: Looking Back
Rice, Keren
Language Documentation & Conservation, v8 p690-706 2014
In this paper I review the methodology that I used in beginning my early fieldwork on a tonal Athabaskan language, including preparation through reading and listening, working with speakers, organizing data, and describing and analyzing the data, stressing how these are not steps or stages, but intersect and interact with each other.
