  abstract              = {This study examines a number of interrelated grammatical subsystems of the Central Siberian Yupik Eskimo language as spoken on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, and on the coast of Chukotka, USSR, and discusses the implications of the relationships between these subsystems for the theory of Autolexical syntax, and for the study of contact-induced language change. The first subsystem, deverbal verbalizing derivational suffixation, is described in terms of a new approach to affix ordering, which postulates autonomous morphological and semantic representations. On the basis of this approach, an exhaustive classification of these affixes is given. The second subsystem, postinflectional derivational suffixation, is etymologically connected to the first subsystem, and is treated in the same framework, using autonomous morphological and phonological representations. An extensive descriptive account and classification of postinflectional postbases is also provided. Discourse marking enclitics form the third subsystem. Their phonology and function is described, and their position with respect to a sentence or phrase is shown to be the result of independent morphological and syntactic representations. After outlining the history and sociolinguistics of grammatical and lexical influence of Chukchi, a Paleo-Siberian language, on Eskimo in the Bering Sea area, I describe the fourth subsystem: the sentence adverbial, interjectional and conjunctional particles borrowed by Eskimo from Chukchi. I argue that these particles were borrowed through an Eskimo-Chukchi trade jargon, and that they have influenced the three other subsystems. Thus, some particles have become enclitics; others have become elements to which postinflectional suffixes can be affixed, and some verb derivational suffixes and native enclitics have been replaced by synonymous particles. It is argued that in some cases, the integration of particles into Eskimo grammar results in a closer match between the morphological and semantic autolexical representations. Finally, it is noted that in Chukotka, under increased Chukchi influence, more verbal suffixes are being replaced by particles, whereas on St. Lawrence Island some particles are becoming obsolete, because visiting and trade relationships across the International Date Line have been interrupted in recent times. Since in Chukotka and on St. Lawrence Island, there are conflicting tendencies towards the reduction of the amount of synonymy between particles and suffixes, I conclude that not all of the particles have been fully integrated into the grammatical system.},
