This book investigates in detail the grammar of polysynthetic
languages--those with very complex verbal morphology. Baker argues
that polysynthesis is more than an accidental collection of
morphological processes; rather, it is a systematic way of
representing predicate-argument relationships that is parallel to
but distinct from the system used in languages like English. Having
repercussions for many areas of syntax and related aspects of
morphology and semantics, this argument results in a comprehensive
picture of the grammar of polysynthetic languages. Baker draws on
examples from Mohawk and certain languages of the American
Southwest, Mesoamerica, Australia, and Siberia.
