The Linearization of Affixes: Evidence from Nuu-chah-nulth by Rachel WojdakEnglish | PDF | 2008 | 244 Pages | ISBN : 1402065493 | 3.7 MB
This book examines the problem of linearization from a new perspective: that of the linearization of affixes. The author’s driving proposition is that affixation provides a means of satisfying the universal requirement to linearize linguistic outputs. This proposition is tested using original data from Nuu-chah-nulth ("Nootka"; Wakashan family), an endangered Amerindian language that is remarkable for its complex morphology.
