How to write a Grammar Sketch

Grammar sketch studies the morphology and syntax of a particular language. It is helpful for those studying many languages for the purpose of grammar analysis. The following is a possible outline for such a sketch:

Introduction

- Language name

- Where spoken

- Number of speakers

- Basic typological information

Morphology

- Inflectional morphology of the verb

- Other inflectional morphology

- Derivational morphology, including any valence- changing processes

Basic clause structure

- Verbal clauses (including how subjects, objects etc are distinguished; case agreement, word order etc). include trees for a few sentence structure

- Noun phrase structure ( including trees structure and agreement patterns)

- Non-verbal predicates ( stative, equative, and locative/possessive clauses)

Sentence patterns

- Questions, commands etc

- Complement clauses

- Adverbial clauses

- Relative clauses

Residue

- A list of issues which are unclear and need further data and research
