- W1603348508 abstract "This thesis is a descriptive grammar of Barupu, the easternmost member of the Skoufamily of languages. Barupu is spoken by around 3000 people on the north eoast ofNew Guinea; its grammar has not previously been described.Barupu is a tone language in which words belong to one of five tone classes andit exemplifies a type of pitch-accent system where for the most part tone is attractedto penultimate stressed syllables and spreads one syllable to the right. Some words,however, have tones lexically specified to one of the final two syllables ofthe word.A key feature of Barupu grammar is that there is no oblique marking on NPs - noparticles, adpositions or case markers provide information about a nominal's role in theclause. Instead, Barupu is head-marking. Underived verbs show multiple exponenceof subject, which can take the form of double prefixing or prefixing and infixing.There is a set ofsuffixing morphemes that function like applicatives in adding participantsto the clause, but which are very atypical in appearing outside verbal inflectionand showing extra agreement for subject. Barupu also has a prefixing Benefactiveparadigm that replaces regular subject agreement and can be extended to mark externalpossession. Finally, Barupu is a polysynthetic language and, as such, makes almost nouse of f9rmal subordination.Appendices to this thesis include a set of interlinearised texts and a draft of aBarupu-English dictionary with an English-Barupu finderlist." @default.
