A Comparative Study of Salish Lexical Suffixes
Academic Work
One of the morphological features considered to be characteristic of Salish is a set of suffixes variously termed "etymological," "nominal," "field," "lexical." These are suffixes referring to body parts, some other entities, and spatial notions; they are attached to nouns as well as to verbs, where they may function syntactically as subjects or objects. In this paper the term "lexical" will be adopted, distinguishing these suffixes from other Salish affixes which have a more formal grammatical content.
The purpose of this study area: 1) to examine the cognatic relationships shown by the lexical suffixes and to compare this evidence with the results derived from glottochronology; 2) to describe the common Salish features of this suffix system.
