A Grammar of Nab

Introduction

Scope and Purpose

This grammar provides a systematic description of the Nab language (the 1270th one produced by the Language Creator), outlining its sound system, word formation and syntactic structure, with the aim of presenting a coherent account of the language as an integrated whole. Attention has been paid to both regular patterns and minor irregularities, as these together define the internal balance of the language.

The grammar is accompanied by a bilingual dictionary and a collection of illustrative texts, offering material for further study and comparison. The examples have been selected to demonstrate typical constructions and to give a sense of the language in extended use. The description is intended as a reference work for linguists and language enthusiasts alike, and as a foundation for any future research, teaching or creative adaptation of Nab.

Typological Profile

It has has no interesting typological features.

Phonology

Phoneme Inventory

Consonants

Nab has a moderately large consonant inventory, with 33 phonemes.

It has a broad set of voiced–voiceless oppositions, a modest (but clearly contrastive) set of labialised consonants, a system with marginal but genuine retroflex contrasts and a broad and varied fricative inventory.

The table below presents the full inventory of consonant phonemes in Nab. The chart lists all places and manners of articulation attested in the language.

Vowels

Nab has 13 vowel qualities, forming a relatively large inventory. The system distinguishes several vowel categories, as indicated in the chart, offering a wide range of vocalic contrasts.

It has a modest but genuine inventory of nasal vowels, front rounded vowels (these are cross-linguistically relatively uncommon, but occur in a number of well-known languages, including French, German, Turkish and Mandarin) and an unusually fine-grained height system distinguishing four levels.

The table below presents the full inventory of vowel phonemes in Nab. The system comprises the distinct vowel qualities listed in the chart.

Stress and Tones

Nab has phonemic stress but no lexical tone. Stress consistently falls on the first vowel of the root, and no contrastive tonal distinctions are made.

Phonological Processes

Vowel Harmony

Vowel harmony does not exist in this language.

Writing System

Introduction

Nab is normally written using the Cyrillic alphabet, a script with a long and varied history across Eastern Europe and northern Asia. In this grammar, phonetic transcriptions in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) are also used to give an unambiguous representation of sound.

The conventions adopted here follow standard Cyrillic practice for the language where that exists; where they do not, the IPA transcription should be taken as authoritative.

јон ћисеешут

[ˈjɔn t͡ɕiˈseːʃut]

ˈjɔn
a
t͡ɕiˈseːʃ

Compounding

Verbs

Inflectional Categories

All verbal phrase clitics in Nab are enclitics (placed finally), and there are two types: a clitic expressing ta, comprising ћер̇ /t͡ɕeɽ/ ‘PAST’ followed by a clitic expressing question, comprising жүп /ʒyp/ ‘Q’.

In addition, the verb is structured like this: first, an obligatory prefix expressing negation, comprising ґ- /ɡ-/ ‘NEG’ and кв- /kʷ-/ ‘POS’; second, an obligatory prefix expressing voice, comprising е- /e-/ ‘active’ and о- /o-/ ‘passive’; third, the root; and finally, fourth, an optional suffix expressing mode, comprising -уғв /-uɣʷ/ ‘imperative’, -оз̇ /-oʐ/ ‘conditional’ and -иј /-ij/ ‘optative’.

The verb displays the following derivational morphology: two suffixes, namely -пи /-pi/ ‘begin’ and -т̇ө /-ʈø/ ‘stop’

Syntax

Basic Clause Structure

Constituent Order

Constituent order describes the typical arrangement of the subject (S), verb (V) and object (O) in simple declarative clauses. It is a fundamental parameter in grammatical description and forms one of the clearest ways of characterising the overall structure of a language’s clause system.

Nab employs Subject–Verb–Object (SVO) as its basic word order. The subject is followed by the verb, with the object occurring in post-verbal position. This ordering is widely attested across the world’s languages.

The following examples illustrate the basic, unmarked, constituent order in Nab.

Вањ јүз̇иғут квемиф ћер̇ вањ ғудаквут.

[ˈʋaɲ jyˈʐiɣut ˈkʷemif t͡ɕeɽ ˈʋaɲ ɣuˈdakʷut]

ˈʋaɲ
the

GEN

“The lion ate the hunter’s daughter’s dog.”

(16)

The language has a fixed constituent order, and major phrases normally appear in a predictable position in the clause. Movement for discourse reasons is highly restricted: topics and foci are expressed not by rearranging elements, but through dedicated constructions such as clefts, focus clauses or topic–comment frames. Constituents remain continuous, and both the relative order of phrases and the internal structure of each phrase are stable. As a result, significant deviations from the basic word order are ungrammatical, and discourse structure is managed through these specialised constructions rather than through word-order variation.

Noun Phrases

Structure and Order

The internal structure of noun phrases in Nab reveals typologically significant preferences in the ordering of nominal constituents. This includes the position of adjectives, numerals, and possessors relative to the noun, each of which can offer clues to the overall headedness of the language.

Possessive constructions are head-initial: the possessed noun precedes the possessor. For instance, Nab expresses “the child’s toy” with the equivalent of “toy child”. This structure is typologically rarer and often co-occurs with verb-initial syntax or with grammatical marking on the noun.

вањ пукə̃ːдут вањ сифутиф вањ файд̇утиф ґар

2.sing

(17)

Case Marking

Nab does not use case marking to distinguish the core participants of the clause. There is therefore no regular nominative, accusative, ergative, active or stative marking on subjects and objects. Instead, the roles of the participants are identified by other means, cf. the examples below.

Вањ хвозут квенох.

Modifiers and Determiners

The ordering of demonstratives, articles (if present), and other modifiers in Nab provides further insight into the structure of the noun phrase. These elements frequently exhibit fixed positions and may reveal whether the language favours head-initial or head-final patterns.

Complex Sentences

Relative Clauses

Nab forms relative clauses by using a head-internal strategy. The head noun appears inside the clause itself, occupying its regular syntactic position. The entire clause functions as a modifier, and its external syntactic behaviour is identical to that of a noun-modifying phrase.

To illustrate how relative clauses work, let us begin with a simple sentence:

Квеґвэкив ћер̇ вањ хвозут.

[ˈkʷeɡʷɛkiʋ t͡ɕeɽ ˈʋaɲ ˈxʷozut]

e-

ˈɡʷɛkiʋ
pat
t͡ɕeɽ
PAST
ˈʋaɲ
the
ˈxʷoz
cat
-ut
sing

“I patted the cat.”

(23)

We can now add a relative clause modifying the noun:

Квеґвэкив ћер̇ квехет̇ ћер̇ вањ ћебайсут вањ хвозут.

[ˈkʷeɡʷɛkiʋ t͡ɕeɽ ˈkʷexeʈ t͡ɕeɽ ˈʋaɲ t͡ɕeˈbaisut ˈʋaɲ ˈxʷozut]

the
t͡ɕeˈbais

-ut
sing
ˈʋaɲ
the
ˈxʷoz
cat
-ut
sing

“I patted the cat that caught the mouse.”

(24)

Relative clauses may themselves contain other relative clauses:

Квеґвэкив ћер̇ квехет̇ ћер̇ квекор̇ ћер̇ вањ т̇уѳөз̇ут вањ ћебайсут вањ хвозут.

[ˈkʷeɡʷɛkiʋ t͡ɕeɽ ˈkʷexeʈ t͡ɕeɽ ˈkʷekoɽ t͡ɕeɽ ˈʋaɲ ʈuˈθøʐut ˈʋaɲ t͡ɕeˈbaisut ˈʋaɲ ˈxʷozut]

“I patted the cat that caught the mouse that ate the cheese.”

(25)

Finally, here is an example containing several layers of embedding:

Квеґвэкив ћер̇ квехет̇ ћер̇ квекор̇ ћер̇ квеквүк ћер̇ вањ т̇уѳөз̇ут ґайд̇ вањ ћебайсут вањ хвозут.

“I patted the cat that caught the mouse that ate the cheese that I bought.”

(26)

Complementation Strategies

Nab forms complement clauses by nominalising the embedded verb. The nominalised form lacks finite verbal categories and behaves as a noun phrase. Subjects of nominalised clauses occur in the genitive case, and the nominalised verb establishes the semantic content of the complement.

The following example illustrate how complement clauses function:

Квејаар ћер̇ вањ нофут јон р̇үзутут вањ д̇оћут квењаґош ћер̇ вањ ґуруугут.

[ˈkʷejaːɾ t͡ɕeɽ ˈʋaɲ ˈnofut ˈjɔn ɽyˈzutut ˈʋaɲ ˈɖɔt͡ɕut ˈkʷeɲaɡoʃ t͡ɕeɽ ˈʋaɲ ɡuɾuːhut]

“It surprised the teacher that the boy had given the girl an apple.”

(27)

Quotes

Nab expresses quoted or reported speech without a dedicated quotative particle. Quotations appear as ordinary clauses, distinguished only by the surrounding syntactic context or by the use of verbs of speaking.

Here is an example of how quotations are expressed:

Вањ д̇оћут квебеек ћер̇ вањ нофут квемеез ґар ґайд̇.

[ˈʋaɲ ˈɖɔt͡ɕut ˈkʷebeːk t͡ɕeɽ ˈʋaɲ ˈnofut ˈkʷemeːz ˈɡaɾ ˈɡaiɖ]
