| Abstract: | Recent work by Hardy and Davis (1988) on comparatives in Alabama has suggested similar work for the related language Koasati. Although the morphemes used for comparative constructions in Koasati are identical to the ones used in Alabama, the syntax of such constructions differs widely between the two languages. Furthermore, the usage of comparative constructions in texts suggests that the concept of "comparison" to the Koasati mind is quite different from that understood in English. |
