Abstract
This thesis presents a grammatical sketch of Lacid, one of the Kachin languages spoken in north-eastern Kachin state and northern Shan state of Myanmar, and in the Yunnan province of China (Mann 1996). The Lacid people speak a language belonging to the Tibeto-Burman language family (Lewis, Simons & Fennig, 2016). This is the first English documentation of the grammar of Lacid. The data for this study comes from oral texts transcribed from 6 Lacid speakers. In addition, the author is a native speaker and provides relevant data where useful. There are nine chapters in this thesis. Chapter one gives the background history of the Lacid people and language. Chapter two reviews the previous works on the Lacid language and other related languages, as well as the basic grammatical methods and technical terms used in this thesis. hapter three provides a brief phonology, morphology and basic grammar of Lacid. Chapter four describes word classes including nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, demonstratives, numerals, classifiers, quantifiers, verbal particles, adpositions, conjunctions and interrogatives. Chapter five presents various types of noun phrases and their modifiers. Chapter six examines verbs phrase constituents including verb heads, negation, ability and permission, directionals, auxiliaries, politeness and adverbs. Chapter seven discusses passive-like constructions. It also covers reflexives, reciprocals, causatives and applicatives. Chapter eight describes simple sentences, complex sentences, and comparisons. Chapter nine gives a brief conclusion. A set of elicited grammar sentences and four interlinear procedure texts are appended.
