This book explores several topics in Cree morphology, syntax and
discourse structure. Cree, an Algonquian language, is
non-configurational: the grammatical relations of subject and
object are not expressed by word order or other constituent
structure relations, as they are in a configurational language like
English. Instead, subjects and objects are expressed by means of
the inflection on the verb. Cree is typical of non-configurational
languages in allowing a great deal of word order variation. This
study examines in detail aspects of the Plains Cree dialect, giving
a valuable insight into the structure of this endangered language.
