Abstract
Abstract:This article examines personal stories told in English by representatives of the last bilingual generation speaking the Upper Kuskokwim Athabaskan language, investigating how far formal and thematic features of the storytelling tradition persist despite the language shift. Coherence in stories of personal experience in this community depends on the linguacultural models needed for their interpretation and Alaskan Athabaskan cultural traditions of storytelling, determining both the structure of stories and the dynamics of storytelling situations.
期刊介绍：
Anthropological Linguistics, a quarterly journal founded in 1959, provides a forum for the full range of scholarly study of the languages and cultures of the peoples of the world, especially the native peoples of the Americas. Embracing the field of language and culture broadly defined, the editors welcome articles and research reports addressing cultural, historical, and philological aspects of linguistic study, including analyses of texts and discourse; studies of semantic systems and cultural classifications; onomastic studies; ethnohistorical papers that draw significantly on linguistic data; studies of linguistic prehistory and genetic classification.
