This dissertation explores the morphosyntactic properties of the language produced by a group of Navajo students participating in a Navajo language and culture program. The dissertation finds that the students employ a non-standard English with morphosyntactic parallels to other non-standard ethnically-linked English vernaculars such as African American Vernacular English (AAVE). The dissertation argues that the vernacular speech documented in this project shows influences from Navajo and should be classified as a contact language.

520 $a This dissertation explores the morphosyntactic properties of the language produced by a group of Navajo students participating in a Navajo language and culture program. The dissertation finds that the students employ a non-standard English with morphosyntactic parallels to other non-standard ethnically-linked English vernaculars such as African American Vernacular English (AAVE). The dissertation argues that the vernacular speech documented in this project shows influences from Navajo and should be classified as a contact language.
520 $a The study participants attend an off-reservation New Mexico public elementary school where they receive 30 minutes daily of instruction in Navajo language and culture. The participants in the project all identified as heritage learners of Navajo, and were all strongly English-dominant. Analyzing two months of first- and second-grade students' speech recorded during Navajo language and culture class, the dissertation addresses the following three research questions:
520 $a RQ1: What are the morphosyntactic properties of children's speech in this Navajo immersion classroom? RQ2: To what extent do the levels of morphosyntactic regularity support classification of the children's dialect of English as a contact language? RQ3: What are the implications of the observed language patterns for bilingual families and educators?
520 $a The data set collected for this dissertation shows occasional use of Navajo, primarily in the form of simple insertional code-mixing, with the great majority of the children's utterances (over 90%) being entirely in English. The dissertation focused primarily on several areas (do-support, use of the 3rd-person verbal agreement morpheme -s, use of the morpheme -ed on past tense verbs, and nominal number marking) where patterns of non-standard constructions were observed. Arguing that the rates of non-standard usage exceed those that would be expected from age-matched learners of standard English, the dissertation claims that the data supports a contact language analysis for the speech used by the participants. The dissertation concludes with a discussion of the social implications for Navajo community members choosing to use a non-standard contact language in educational and community contexts.
