A Grammar of Klon: A Non-austronesian Language of Alor, Indonesia (Pacific Linguistics, 596) - Softcover
The languages spoken on the Alor archipelago in Indonesia are geographically the west-most non-Austronesian languages. Klon is one of these languages, spoken on the west coast of the island of Alor . This is the first descriptive grammar of Klon, adding to the slowly growing - but as yet mainly unpublished - body of knowledge concerning the structure of the Alor languages. This grammar is primarily based on a corpus of spoken texts from the Bring dialect. Phonetics and phonology, morphology, clausal and inter-clausal syntax are described, including the pronominal system which works on an agentive basis, and commonly used serial verb constructions.
