Education and career

Rice earned her PhD in 1976 from the University of Toronto, with a dissertation entitled, "Hare phonology."[3]

She has published numerous works in both theoretical and Native American linguistics, in particular on Athapaskan languages.[4] She specializes in research on Slavey, an indigenous language spoken in Canada's Northwest Territories, and has long been involved in maintaining and revitalizing the language.[5] She has made contributions to the study of phonological markedness (Rice 2007) and to the interaction of phonology, morphology and semantics (Rice 2000).
