The Dakelh language is spoken in a large territory in central British Columbia, from Stewart lake in the north to the area around the city of Quesnel in the south-east.
The traditional orthography of the Carrier languages is syllabics introduced by A.-G. Morice in 1885 at Stuart Lake (Central dialect).
Southern Carrier differs from the Central dialect in that it does not have the dental affricate series of sounds.

And in 49 U.S.C. 10505(f), Congress again used broad language in explicitly recognizing that the Commission's exemption authority extends to intermodal transportation: The Commission may exercise its authority under this section to exempt transportation that is provided by a rail carrier as a part of a continuous intermodal movement.
Traffic moves under rates in regular motor carrier tariffs, and the railroad's compensation is arrived at by negotiation between the two carriers.
That section provides that the Commission has no jurisdiction under subchapter II (the motor carrier subchapter) "over transportation by motor vehicle provided in a terminal area when the transportation * * * is provided by * * * a rail carrier subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission * * *" (emphasis added).

 Jones Final Arbitrator Report in Global NAPs, Inc.
Carriers are entitled to be fairly compensated for the use of their facilities and related processing functions for the actual delivery of a call, irrespective of how a call is rated based on its NXX prefix.
Although a carrier may market different calling area coverage to end-users, for purposes of intercarrier compensation, it would be inconsistent with the law to allow a carrier to decide what it will pay for use of the other carrier's network.

 languagehat.com: December 2003 Archives
Elizabeth Bates, a psycholinguist and developmental psychologist who focused on the way infants develop language and (in the words of the NY Times obituary) "an outspoken critic of the theory that humans are endowed at birth with a language module," died Sunday at the age of 56.
Language is special and unique, Dr. Bates said, but its specialness is derived from the interaction of bits and pieces in the brain that are recruited for many purposes.
If we view language learning as something that almost everyone can do, so long as they are in an environment where it is valued, then we see that the fluency that Krashen argues for is partly due to the anonymity that he creates by presenting the judges with a tape recording.

To help you use their terms — the words and phrases carriers use to identify the key results areas that matter most to them — consider the mini glossary at right.
ARPU is the carrier’s sweet spot and your payoff is twofold: a higher commission and possible residual income down the road.
Since higher ARPU impacts the carriers’ perceived worth on Wall Street, the benefit to the carrier is this: as the investment community sees the carrier acquire higher value and longer term customers, this tends to drive the stock price up.

 Late Payment Penalty Fee
Beware of contract language which stipulates that your carrier suppliers have the ability to assess late payment penalty fees.
Because of this Carrier action, Shipper is "lulled" into believing that Carrier has unilaterally chosen to forego this right and continues to pay Carriers invoice a few days beyond the penalty date.
Carrier then responds by billing Shipper all of the late penalty fees for previous shipments or by threatening to bill for these late penalty fees (which by now, could easily total tens of even hundreds of thousands of dollars) if its services at the same level of freight tenders are discontinued.

 The Standards Site: Carrier language in tasks and resources for deaf children
This feature deals with the issue of 'carrier language', whether presented in oral, signed or written form, and the effect this language can have on access to learning, and the assessment, of deaf children.
Carrier language can be defined as the language used by the teacher to set a task or test, rather than that involved in teaching new concepts.
It is important to make carrier language as accessible as possible for the deaf child, while acknowledging that he or she must be aware of appropriate technical terms or linguistic structures needed throughout his or her school days and beyond.

 Linguist List - Dissertation Abstracts
This work contributes much-needed empirical data to the long-standing debate over the proper characterization of Dakelh prosody with respect to notions such as tone vs. pitch accent vs. stress.
One of the findings is that in addition to word-final stress in verbs, manifested primarily in terms of duration, 'prominence' in the form of increased pitch is typically also found on one of the earlier syllables in the word.
The location of the latter is partly determined phonologically, and in part lexically; certain prefixes appear to carry lexical tone, as in many related languages.
