  abstract        = {This dissertation is a first description of Jamul Diegueno, the language of the Jamul Band of Mission Indians of San Diego County, California. It is intended as a reference work for scholars of comparative Yuman and comparative American Indian linguistics, and also for those members of the Jamul Band who are interested in having a written record of their language. The description begins with the sound system. The phonemic system is described, morphophonemic rules are presented, and a structurally-conditioned lenition process is discussed. Lexical structure, which is important at every level of the grammar, is described in detail. Stem formatives are listed, and it is seen that they are meaningful and segmentable but not productive. Derivational processes are described, including the formation of causative and plural verb stems as well as agent nominalizations, oblique nominalizations, and relative stems. Inflectional morphology is described. A discussion of clause structure begins with the internal structure of the noun phrase and nominal syntactic morphology in the clause. The syntax of ditransitive clauses and causative constructions is discussed. Also described are negation, reflexives and reciprocals, modal and aspectual morphemes, and various sentence-level enclitics. Two special kinds of clauses, predicate nominal and copula constructions, are described. Relative clauses and complement clauses are described in detail. There is a discussion of clause combining which focuses on the switch-reference construction and also treats 'when' clauses, reason clauses, adversative clauses, purpose clauses, hypothetical conditionals, and other constructions. A chapter on auxiliaries describes auxiliary clause constructions, auxiliary verb constructions, auxiliaries which are losing their verbal status, and periphrastic inflection. Sample texts are included, along with notes on discourse.},
