Resumen de Towards a new meta-language for Athabaskan linguistics: the case of morphological phrasemes
This paper is concerned with the analysis and citation of morphological phrasemes in the Athabaskan language Dene Sné. The concepts of derivation, morphoids, submorphs and morphological phraseme are reviewed, and a few principles are suggested for distinguishing morphological phrasemes from transparent derivation, followed by corollaries of how these principles can be applied to the presentation of interlinearized examples. This approach is contrasted with the current practice in Athabaskan and Americanist linguistics of not distinguishing between derivation and morphological phrasemes in the morphemic glosses.
