Abstract
This thesis presents a grammar sketch of Easter Law using traditional linguistic terms. Eastern Lawa is an isolating analytic language spoken in Chiang Mai province, in the north of Thailand, South East Asin. It is a Pahangie language of the Mon-Khmer branch of the Austro-Asiatic language family. This research is based on the Bo Luang dialect of Eastern Lawa, which is the nost widely spoken of the two main dialects. A set of elicited grammar sentences, narrative texts, recorded conversations and insight from over a yeur of learning the Janguage were used in this study. Typologically, Eastern Lawa is a head initial language. This means that modifiers follow nouns (adjectives, numbers ste) and objects follow verbs. Negation in Eastern Lawa can be pre-verbal or post-verbal. The phonology of Eastern Lawa includes 33 consonants and 10 vowels with 12 diphthongs and 2 triphthongs. There is no inflectional morphology and little productive derivational morphology in Eastern Lawa. The word order can vary between SV and VS but is predominantly VS. VOS word order is allowed when introducing new participants in a dialogue. Open word classes include nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. Closed word classes include demonstratives, numerals, classifiers, quantifiers, auxiliaries, prepositions and conjunctions. Noun phrases can have pronouns as heads, compound heads, nominalized adjectives or nominalized predicates as heads and demonstratives as heads. Other parts of the noun phrase include adjectives, relative clauses, prepositional phrases, possessives, quantifiers and number phrases. Verb phrases can include single verbs or multiple verbs.
