A grammar of Klon: A non-Austronesian language of Alor, Indonesia
Louise Baird
The languages spoken on the Alor archipelago in Indonesia are geographically the west-most non-Austronesian languages.  Klon is one of these languages, spoken on the west coast of the island of Alor .  This is the first descriptive grammar of Klon, adding to the slowly growing—but as yet mainly unpublished—body of knowledge concerning the structure of the Alor languages.    This grammar is primarily based on a corpus of spoken texts from the Bring dialect.  Phonetics and phonology, morphology, clausal and inter-clausal syntax are described, including the pronominal system which works on an agentive basis, and commonly used serial verb constructions.
