Sahaptin Grammar and Texts

摘要这笔赠款再次支持编写萨哈普丁方言的语法和收集萨哈普丁文本。语法是描述性的，强调句法和语篇功能。通过语素注解，文本以语素的行间格式出现。词汇表，以文本和语法为关键，将提供关于Nez Perce和Klamath同源词的信息以及其他词源注释。萨哈普丁语言正濒临灭绝。该项目将完成对该语言的全面记录，并将提供在句法、语篇、历史和比较重建方面具有最广泛理论吸引力的数据。

ABSTRACT This grant renews support for preparing a grammar of the Sahaptin dialects and collecting Sahaptin texts. The grammar is descriptive with an emphasis on syntax and discourse function. The texts are in interlinear format with morpheme by morpheme glossing. A glossary, keyed to the texts and grammar, will provide information on cognates in Nez Perce and Klamath and other etymological notes. The Sahaptin language is on the verge of extinction. This project will allow the completion of thorough documentation of the language, and will provide data with the broadest theoretical appeal in syntax, discourse, historical and comparative reconstruction.
