New York: Garland Publishing. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1991. Hardcover. 0815301723 . Slightest wear. Crisp hardcover.; "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." Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Inflection 3. Direct, Inverse and Passive Verbs 4. Obviation 5. Lexical Processes. Appendix: ‘A Brave Boy’; Outstanding Dissertations In Linguistics; (vi), 207 pages .
