Plains Cree Morphosyntax (RLE Linguistics F: World Linguistics) Hardback
by Amy Dahlstrom
Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Linguistics series
Hardback
Description
This book explores several topics in Cree morphology, syntax and discourse structure.
Cree, an Algonquian language, is non-configurational: the grammatical relations of subject and object are not expressed by word order or other constituent structure relations, as they are in a configurational language like English.
Instead, subjects and objects are expressed by means of the inflection on the verb.
Cree is typical of non-configurational languages in allowing a great deal of word order variation.
This study examines in detail aspects of the Plains Cree dialect, giving a valuable insight into the structure of this endangered language.
