This book treats aspects of the syntax of Halkomelem, a Salish
language spoken in southwestern British Columbia, specifically
those constructions which involve objects, and seeks to accomplish
two goals. First, it provides natural language fodder for the
debate concerning the nature of grammatical relations and their
place in syntactic theory. Second, by showing that Halkomelem draws
from a familiar class of universal constructions and organizes its
syntax around some simple and common parameters, the author has
brought the Salish languages, which due to their phonological and
morphological complexity seemed particularly fearsome, into
cross-linguistic perspective.
