  abstract              = {The Iroquoian language are polysynthetic languages of the fusional type. The morphology of one of these, Oneida is described in detail here. Into the verb structure, in addition to a verb root, there is incorporated designation of the noun object of the verb, subject and object pronominal reference, inflections for tense, mode, and aspect, and a number of other specifications. All of these are represented by bound morphemes. They form three inflectional systems and one lexical and derivational system. These comprise the four large sections of the verb structure, viz, the pre-pronominal prefixes, the pronominal prefixes, the verb base, and the inflectional suffixes. Each of the four sections of the verb is analysed in detail in these pages, in terms of a method which will make possible direct structural comparisons between languages. Morphology is resolved into morphemes, their phonemic shapes, their relative order of occurrence, and their combinatory possibilities. Preliminary work in the comparison of the several related languages of the Iroquoian stock has shown that, whereas the phonemic shapes of morphemes and the combinatory possibilities among them vary considerably from one language to another, features of order are much more stable. The positional method of analysis which is developed here, serves to isolate these most stable features. The method will be useful in comparing languages and in making the tentative classifications of aboriginal languages which of necessity preceed classifications proven by the methods of comparative phonology.},
