Comparative Grammar of the Sahaptian Languages

摘要这个项目将产生萨哈普提语的比较语法。它将涵盖语音变化、比较音系学、词法、句法和语篇。将包括一本萨哈普特语素词典，列出所有建议的Nez Perce和Sahaptin衍生词(并适当地注意到文献中的每一个建议)。这一贡献，加上之前关于内兹·佩尔西和萨哈普丁的描述工作，将使萨哈普提语成为最容易理解的美国印第安语系之一。它将为佩努提语内部的进一步比较提供数据，并在普通历史学和比较语言学领域做出具有理论吸引力的贡献。

ABSTRACT This project will produce a comparative grammar of the Sahaptian languages. It will cover sound changes, comparative phonology, morphology, syntax, and discourse. A Sahaptian morpheme dictionary will be included, listing all proposed Nez Perce and Sahaptin derivatives (with every suggestion from the literature duly noted). This contribution, in addition to previous descriptive work on Nez Perce and Sahaptin, will make Sahaptian one of the best understood American Indian language families. It will provide data for further comparison within Penutian, as well as make a contribution with theoretical appeal in the area of general historical and comparative linguistics.
