Peer reviewedJelinek, Eloise; Demers, Richard A. – Language, 1994
Provides an analysis of the syntax of Straits Salish. Main clauses consist of an initial predicate followed by a second position clitic string of inflectional elements, the subject pronoun and tense. Evidence is provided against copular verb analysis as further proof of the lack of the noun/verb distinction at the lexical level. (52 references)…

Peer reviewedThurgood, Graham – Language, 1996
Focuses on the phonological restructuring of the Chamic languages of Vietnam in the last 2,000 years. Although internal paths of change are relatively clear, available evidence indicates that external contact set the changes in motion and determined their direction. (52 references) (Author/CK)
