Tense switching in narrative English discourse of Navajo and Western Apache speakers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 November 2008
Abstract
This paper summarizes some characteristics of Navajo and Western Apache speakers' tense switching in English and some observations on native English speakers' tense switching. It is suggested to teachers who have Southwestern Indian students in their classes to avoid restricting students to one particular tense in an artificial manner and to approach interlingual tense switching within a contrastive framework.
