1 Appendix E. A basic morphology/syntax checklist This list is just a start, to give you some ideas about what to plan for. The following checklist is loosely based on the Lingua Questionnaire (available from XXX). How much of these categories are marked in the morphology and how many are purely syntactic depends on the language, of course. The items listed below are in approximately a useful order for elicitation (that is, it is useful to start with simple verbal clauses before doing subordination, etc), but I do not recommend adhering rigidly to such an order. For example, it is quite useful to know something about basic negation early in the process, especially if it affects tense or aspect. This list is also available for downloading at XXX 1 1 Currently it s on my web site: but it will move. 264 Field Work Methodology: Draft 23-Jul-06
