UBCWPL is published by the linguistics graduate students of the University of British Columbia. We feature current research on language and linguistics by students and faculty of the department, and we are the regular publishers of two conference proceedings: the Workshop on Structure and Constituency in Languages of the Americas (WSCLA) and the International Conference on Salish and Neighbouring Languages (ICSNL).
The proceedings of the Northwest Linguistics Conference, held at UBC in April 2009, are now available electronically as UBCWPL Volume 25:
The proceedings of the Interlocution Workshop, held at UBC in May 2009, are published as UBCWPL Volume 24 and can be downloaded here as a compressed pdf:
University of British Columbia Working Papers in Linguistics would like to announce the publication of a new collection of texts recorded and transcribed from Laura Thevarge, a speaker of the Lower dialect of St'át'imcets (a.k.a. Lillooet Salish), an endangered language of British Columbia. The texts are true stories from Laura's rich and varied life experiences, and exemplify her dynamic oratory style and her deep knowledge of the language. There are perhaps as few as 50 speakers remaining, and so this may indeed be one of the last such collections.
The volume is approx. 120 pages, contains 12 stories each divided into 3 sections: St'át'imcets transcription, English translation, and a complete interlinear gloss. There is an accompanying CD with 12 tracks, containing the original recordings from which the texts were transcribed. The volume costs $15 CAD/U.S. plus relevant shipping costs.
