Rukai Structure

This work provides a comprehensive analysis of the Rukai language, focusing on its syntactic structure. It adopts a generative approach, drawing on Chomsky and Halle's system for phonology and Starosta's 'lexicase' approach to syntax. The study includes a detailed examination of Rukai phonology, distinctive features, and morphophonemic alternations. It also explores word order, phrase structure, and the distribution of phonetic elements, offering insights into the linguistic characteristics of the Rukai dialects, particularly the Tanan variety. The book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of Austronesian languages.
