Isi artikel

Carrier, an Athabaskan language of the central interior of British Columbia, has an extensive and productive system of noun classification. This system is comprised of absolutive shape classifiers, a 'body of water' absolutive classifier, four sets of classificatory verbs, classificatory forms of third person singular possessors and objects of postpositions, demonstratives, relativizers, numeral classifiers, and a special system for the interrogative 'how many?' Although some subsystems make use of the same or related categories, there is a high degree of nonhomomorphism among the classifications.
