This dissertation has two purposes. First, it is intended as a reasonably thorough descriptive grammar, both for the theoretical linguist in search of reliable data, and for those involved in any future language renewal program among the Indian people. Secondly, it illustrates an empirical method of discourse analysis, studying the discourse distribution of grammatical constructions. The dissertation has two parts. Part One is a description of Nez Perce grammar and morphology. Every point is illustrated by examples which, as much as possible, are cited from texts. The analysis is traditional with a factual orientation. A chapter on the history of Nez Perce morphosyntax is also included. Part Two describes the various voice constructions (ergative, passive, and antipassive), promotion and shifting to direct object, genitive subjects, and flexible word orders. None of these grammatical processes are purely syntactically or semantically motivated. The use of these syntactic constructions is rather shown to be determined by discourse-pragmatic considerations. The methodology used here is the one developed by T. Givon. It involves precise text counts, in this case in Nez Perce narrative discourse. This methodology measures topic predictability (anaphoric) and topic importance (cataphoric). The results reveal strikingly different distributions of the text counts for the various syntactic constructions.Subjects--Topical Terms:
