A grammatical sketch of Iteri, a Left May language of the West Range foothills (original) (raw)

Abstract

I describe the basics of the phonology, morphology, clause-internal syntax, clause combining, and discourse of Iteri, and also provide some preliminary ethnographic information about the Iteris. This sketch grammar is based on three months of fieldwork in Iteri, a Left May language with approximately 500 speakers spoken near the East Sepik-Sandaun border in a northern spurt of the highlands called the West Range. Examples are from my fieldnotes from participant observation and elicitation as well as 1.5 hours of annotated narrative and conversational speech.
