Abstract
Five distinguishing features of the Stau language
Based on fieldwork, this article analyzes five of the most distinctive features of Stau from the perspectives of phonology and morphosyntax. It examines vowel harmony and the blocking mechanisms that interrupt it, the use of reduplication to mark plural arguments, and the relationship between orientational prefixes and geographical orientation. In addition, it explores the complex alignment system of Stau with reference to argument agreement, case marking, and the direct–inverse system. The article also analyzes the switch-reference system that marks same-subject and different-subject relations.
Keywords: Stau, vowel harmony, reduplication, alignment systems, switch-reference
