  abstract        = {The purpose of this study is (1) to provide documentation and description of the Hooper Bay-Chevak dialect of Central Yup'ik Eskimo spoken in Chevak, Alaska; (2) to restate and in places reanalyze aspects of the phonology, morphology, and syntax of Central Yup'ik as it has been formulated for the General Central Yup'ik dialects; and (3) to present a new systematization of what may be called the internal syntax of Central Yup'ik, with implications for the analysis of other Eskimo languages. Its larger context is that of a linguistic community study of Chevak being undertaken by the author which seeks to describe grammar along with language use there. The mode of presentation is theoretical description, where a portion of the grammar of a language is stated as an illustration of a theoretical approach. The approach taken is semiotic, organizing sound-meaning correspondences according to the arrangement of forms in the language being described. The introduction outlines the literature on Eskimo languages, and in particular on Central Yup'ik, describes the theory and goals of the study, and details the methods used and the circumstances of the field research in which data were collected. (SECTION)1, Phonology, outlines the phonology of the Chevak dialect, presenting it as a set of partially ordered rules operating on underlying forms. (SECTION)(SECTION)2-7 are concerned with morphology. In (SECTION)2, Morphological preliminaries, word classes, word structure, and the system and categories of inflection are presented. (SECTION)3, Inflectional morphology, gives inflectional paradigms for the Chevak dialect, noting dialect differences between it and General Central Yup'ik, and offers a more complete morphological analysis of endings than has been given for Central Yup'ik. It also offers a new analysis of pronominal suffixes with enough detail to have implications for general Eskimo-Aleut comparison. (SECTION)(SECTION)4-7 are specifically concerned with systematization of internal syntax. Because sub word-level elements-bases, postbases, enclitics-have syntactic effects beyond the word-level, an analysis of external syntactic constituent structure is given in (SECTION)4, The structure of complex nominals and clauses. This provides a basis for the classification and representation of the inherent internal syntactic properties of bases in (SECTION)5, Syntactic and inflectional properties of bases, and of the internal syntactic properties and functions of postbases ((SECTION)(SECTION)6-7). Postbases, of which there are around 400, are at the heart of the more general problems of internal syntax. (SECTION)6 Postbases: introduction, literature, and theory, reviews approaches taken in the Eskimo literature to postbases, and sketches a systematic treatment for them within the internal syntax as a whole. (SECTION)7, Denominal verbalizing postbases (NV), demonstrates the approach by analyzing an important group of postbases, with particular attention to their internal syntactic classification and lexicological description. The most significant theoretical conclusion of this study is that in most cases internal syntax is analyzable both as autonomous, and as a part of external syntax. However, some aspects of internal syntax are analyzable only as autonomous, while others are analyzable only as a part of external syntax. Crucially, it is found that four scalar criteria allow one to predict where each type of analysis will and will not work. These criteria, in turn, allow one to define the notion of the word in this polysynthetic language at a more abstract, analytical level.},
