Appendix L: Index to Technical Linguistic Topics
This index, inspired, as is much in this grammar, by the work of Thom Hess and Vi Hilbert (1980), is intended for use by linguists familiar with the technical jargon of the field. Throughout this grammar, technical jargon has been kept to a minimum and introduced only where it would seem to be a direct help to a student in understanding and learning the Klallam language. Many topics, such as reduplication or aspect, that a conventional reference grammar would group together, are spread out in various sections in this grammar to aid in exposition for the learner. This index lists those topics and brings them together for ease of reference. Many of the topics can be found in the table of contents. Here the reference is to the section where a particular topic is covered directly or indirectly. Some of the topics listed here, such as ‘absolutive’ and ‘ergative,’ are not mentioned directly in the text but can be discerned from the sections the reference points to by a linguist who knows the concept. The interested linguist may also refer to the Klallam Dictionary, which has a technical grammatical sketch in the introductory material and much technical information with morphological and phonological analysis throughout, especially in its root and affix appendices.
