  abstract              = {This dissertation provides a partial sketch of the Chalcatongo dialect of the Otomanguean language Mixtec, with an emphasis on morphology and cliticization. Included are: a phonological sketch, a very brief survey of important syntactic and semantic issues, and a more in-depth look at the types of bound morphemes which are encountered in Mixtec. The dissertation also includes exploration of the characteristics of various types of morphemes, especially of the ill-defined category 'clitic.' Precise delineation of such categories is especially important in description of a language like Mixtec, which makes use of a wide variety of morphological elements: from free words to fossilized remnants of previously productive forms, with a range of categories in between. The identification and characterization of these intermediate categories is one of the central tasks undertaken in this dissertation. A typology of morphological units is developed (drawn largely from the work of Arnold Zwicky) which includes free words, a category of phonologically dependent forms called 'leaners,' bound words, phrasal affixes, and ordinary affixes. Four types of obligatorily bound element are found to be present in Chalcatongo Mixtec: phrasal affixes, inflectional affixes, derivational affixes, and fossilized remnants of old productive systems of classification and aspect marking. A fifth type of bound element is that which results from optional rules of rapid speech. These rules reduce disyllabic free words to monosyllables which are phonologically dependent on a neighboring form. Finally, the historical development of certain areas of the morphology of Chalcatongo Mixtec is explored. While we find that Mixtec is a language whose synchronic state cannot be adequately described without some understanding of the forces which have shaped (and which continue to shape) its grammar, we also find that it is a language for which it is of paramount importance to keep diachronic and synchronic analyses separate. This dissertation incorporates information from both the diachronic and the synchronic dimensions, but emphasizes the importance of maintaining the distinction.},
