Analytical Lexicon of Navajo

In Navajo, and in the Athabaskan languages generally, the verb is of prime importance. Verb stems, in combination with varying numbers and types of modifying prefixes, express meanings in a single work that would require an entire phrase or sentence in English. This lexicon is organized around 1,135 roots, including verbal, nominal, and other categories. In 1980 the University of New Mexico Press published "The Navajo Language: A Grammar and Colloquial Dictionary, and a revised edition appeared in 1987. The "Analytical Lexicon is cross-referenced to the dictionary, extending its utility by providing an alphabetical arrangement of the roots. This Lexicon will become a standard reference for learners and speakers of Navajo, for linguists, and for all scholars in fields working with Navajo materials.Young, Robert W. is the author of 'Analytical Lexicon of Navajo' with ISBN 9780826313560 and ISBN 0826313566.
