  abstract              = {Temne is a southern West Atlantic language which is spoken in the Northern Province of Sierra Leone, of which I am a native speaker. My aim in writing this dissertation was primarily descriptive: to provide a systematic account of the sounds and forms of the language. I have also tried to sketch in brief the syntactic and semantic frames in which the morphological structures are embedded. Chapter 1 presents a general introduction to the segmental phonology of Temne. Chapter 2 examines the morphophonology of the specifier system of the noun phrase and provides new classification of the singular/plural, definite/indefinite pairings. In Chapter 3, I discuss the pronominal system and in Chapter 4, Numerals, Prepositions, and Adverbials. In Chapter 5, I examine the verbal complex. Although the dissertation does not contain an explicit tonology chapter, I deal with tone rules throughout whenever they shed light on phonological or morphological process-e.g. the reattachment of the tones of deleted segments. The tone is always marked.},
