Abstract:

This dissertation presents a grammar of Khwarshi, a Nakh-Daghestanian
language. The grammar is based on material collected by the author during
fieldwork. The dissertation gives an overview of the main aspects of the
phonology, morphology, and syntax of the language. At the  phonological
level, a description of the system of vowels and consonants is given as
well as of the secondary articulations: nasalization, palatalization, and
pharyngealization. Khwarshi has several interesting morphological features
including an elaborate system of up to 43 spatial cases, five noun genders
which mark agreement between the Absolutive noun phrase and the verb,
adjective, adverb, or postposition with the help of the gender affixes.
Khwarshi is an ergative language with basic SOV word order and widespread
use of non-finite verb forms. In the chapter on syntax, the main types of
subordinate clauses such as relative, complement, and adverbial clauses are
treated
