Description

Source: International Journal of American Linguistics, Vol. 51, No. 4 (Oct., 1985), — pp. 489-491Published by: The University of Chicago PressStable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1265315Navajo interjections (Landar 1963:28) are particles which occur in reduplicative pairs (I call them interjective phrases) as monosyllabic or, rarely, disyllabic words. Often, a given interjection has no counterpart in verbal morphology. But data in Young and Morgan (1943:223-24, 245-47) and Hoijer (1974) suggest that sometimes a verb stem serves as a model for an interjection.
