Abstract

This thesis started its life as a description of the phonology and morphophonology of the Amurdak Language. As such, it would have been restricted to examining the sound system and the set of morpho-phonemic alternations of the language, from within the theoretical framework of Non-Linear Phonology; particularly that branch concerned with Phonological Feature Geometry. However, in its final form this thesis is more of a sketch grammar, and I would like to explain why this is.
