We are very pleased to announce the release of Sptakwlh múta7 sqwéqwel’: St̕át̕imcets Narratives by Qwa7yán’ak (Carl Alexander) Volume II, published jointly by PNWLL Press and Upper St’át’imc Language, Culture and Education Society (USLCES). This volume is the second in a two-part series of narratives, following Sqwéqwel’ Múta7 Sptakwlh: St’át’imcets Narratives by Qwa7yán’ak (Carl Alexander).
This latest volume features twenty-six narratives as told by Qwa7yán’ak Carl Alexander in St’át’imcets, recorded between the summer of 2016 and the winter of 2020. Narratives were recorded, transcribed, and translated by Matt Andrew (Lil’wat7úl), Henry Davis (UBC-Vancouver), and John Lyon (UBC-Okanagan). Each narrative is presented in three formats: a St’át’imcets-only version, an English-only version, and an interlinear gloss, which provides a morpheme-by-morpheme breakdown of the original St’át’imcets.
A PDF copy of this volume is available to download below. Accompanying sound files will be available soon.
We hope this volume and its associated resources are maximally useful to advanced language learners and teachers, as well as academic linguists.
