<p>Abstract:</p><p> Formation and use of direct positive and negative requests in Upper Tanana (Dene) are investigated through qualitative analysis of narrative texts. Choice of request form depends on speakersâ evaluation of their entitlement, as well as of the contingencies involved in granting the request. Negative requests are relatively infrequent because they are easily construed as criticism of the hearerâs knowledge of <i>įįjih</i>, the moral underpinnings of Upper Tanana society, and are thus usually avoided unless the addressee is someone of whom knowledge of <i>įįjih</i> cannot be expected. </p>
