The goals and priorities of the seminar were to, as much as possible, gain a basic understanding of the grammatical structures of Navajo, and then to apply that understanding to an analysis of properties of the Navajo verb—with special focus on the so-called ‘conjunct’ and ‘disjunct’ domains of the verb word. The papers that resulted vary in terms of their theoretical orientation and focus, but all benefited from a concerted effort to focus on the data, and to draw from resources both within and outside the confines of the literature
on theoretical linguistics.
