An overview of Stiêng grammar

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p><p>This overview of Stiêng, a Mon-Khmer language of Vietnam, was prepared from analysis of narrative text material and without the aid of a native speaker of Stiêng. It is, therefore limited in depth as far as the semantic properties of Stiêng are concerned. </p> <p> The overview is presented in a restricted tagmemic model, describing mostly the occurrence and co-occurence of various tagmemes. Clause and sentence structure are briefly described, but major emphasis is on verb and noun phrases. </p> <p> A section applying 'Case Grammar' as interpreted by Longacre and restricted to the Instrumental case gives some indication as to other features of Stiêng not seen in the restricted tagmemic description. </p> <p> Throughout the overview reference is made to the similarities of Stiêng to related languages such as Chrau and Sedang.</p></p>
