Abstract:

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as yet mainly unpublished - body of knowledge concerning the structure of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.
