这项工作是对Makalero语的第一次全面描述，Makalero语是东帝汶共和国东南部Iliomar分区约6 500人使用的一种语言。虽然以前的资料来源认为它是一个方言的更大的语言Makasae，本研究报告，这是基于主要数据收集的作者在实地考察期间在东帝汶，注意到足够的语法差异，从后者值得马卡莱罗作为一个单独的语言治疗。与帝汶的其他四种语言一起，马卡莱罗语被归类为泛新几内亚语，使其成为最西部的巴布亚语之一。虽然它保留了分散的派生和曲折的过程，但它在结构上基本上是孤立的。在最基本的层面上，话语组织的基础是Makalero子句的严格结构，它最多允许表达两个口头论点。这一小句结构的一个特点是动词短语中存在两个不同的、相互排斥的论元位置，第一个是为undergoers保留的，而第二个可以表达undergoers或位置和方式信息。本文所提出的描述并不局限于一个特定的理论框架，而是引用了几种语言学理论的观点来支持分析;因此，不同背景的学者都可以使用。本书涵盖了Makalero结构，从音系学到词类和形态学，再到基本句法和话语层面的一些问题，对巴布亚语和南岛语以及语言类型学的学者都特别感兴趣。附录提供了几个Makalero文本的抄本，以及一个Makalero-英语和一个英语-Makalero单词列表。（减）
This work is the first comprehensive description of Makalero, a language spoken by approximately 6,500 speakers in the Iliomar subdistrict, in the south-east of the Republic of East Timor. While previous sources considered it to be a dialect of the larger language Makasae, the present study, which is based on primary data gathered by the author during fieldwork in East Timor, notes sufficient grammatical differences from the latter to warrant the treatment of Makalero as a separate language. Together with four other languages of Timor, Makalero has been classified as belonging to the Trans-New Guinea family, making it one of the westernmost Papuan languages. While it retains scattered derivational and inflectional processes, it is largely isolating in structure. Underlying the organisation of discourse at a very basic level is the rigid structure of the Makalero clause, which allows for the expression of two verbal arguments at most. A characteristic feature of this clause structure is the presence of two distinct, mutually exclusive argument positions within the verb phrase, the first of which is reserved for undergoers, while the second may express either undergoers, or location and manner information. The description brought forward in this dissertation is not couched in a particular theoretical framework, although insights from several linguistic theories are adduced to support the analysis; it is thus accessible to scholars from differing backgrounds. With its coverage of Makalero structure from the phonology through word classes and morphology to basic syntax and some issues on the discourse level, this book is of particular interest to scholars of both Papuan and Austronesian languages as well as linguistic typology. The appendices provide transcripts of several Makalero texts as well as a Makalero-English and an English-Makalero word list. (Less)
