Relative clauses and noun-modifying clauses in Chantyal
-
Michael Noonan✝
Abstract
The late Michael (Mickey) Noonan participated in the early stages of the NMC project, including presenting an analysis of GNMCCs in the Tibeto-Burman language Chantyal at the workshop meeting held at Stanford University on March 22–24, 2008. His further participation was cut short by his untimely death in February of 2009. We have decided to reproduce his handout from the March 2008 meeting in this Appendix. It should of course be borne in mind that what Mickey presented at that meeting was very much work in progress. But even in this state, it represents an important contribution to our understanding of the geographic distribution of GNMCCs, given his clear and cogent argumentation for the recognition of GNMCCs in Chantyal. Apart from formatting changes, updating of bibliographical references, and matters noted in the editorial footnotes, the text of the handout is reproduced in its original form.
