[Lingtyp] nouns and adjectives

[Konstantin Henke]

Hi Adam,

if you haven't already, I highly recommend tanking a look at the diagnostic criteria in Croft's Radical Construction Grammar. It might not be your approach to grammar, but the chapter about parts of speech has been very valuable to me personally.

Best,
Konstantin

I've looked at the stuff on Mundari (Evans, Osada Hengeveld, etc.), on Riau Indonesian (Gil), and Iroquian (Chafe) (although this one is about verbs) - apologies if I missed anyone just getting into this literature again.
