 note = {rGyarong is a Tibeto-Burman language, spoken in the
northwestern region of Sichuan Province, China. Because of
the striking similarity of some words to the orthography of
Tibetan and its complicated morphological processes, the
language has long attracted scholarly attention. In no previous
study, however, has there been any clear-cut description of the
language's complexity—the verb system, above all, shows such
a puzzling structure that no earlier works on rGyarong seem to
have succeeded in analyzing it convincingly.
Neither has the historical/genetic position of rGyarong
been well-elucidated. It has been classified in the Tibetan
group simply because of the similarity of a limited number of
rGyarong words to Written Tibetan, whereas the affiliation of
the rest of the lexicon has gone unstudied. My purpose in writing
this paper is to counteract this bias.
The most puzzling part of the rGyarong morphological
processes is the final verb phrase, which has the following general
structure : (ka)-(P1)-P2-P3-(P4)-ROOT-(S1)-S2, where seven
affixes play significant roles to specify agent(s), patient(s), goal(s),
beneficiary, aspect, direction of act, manner of act, and so on.
This paper describes the adverbial prefixes which appear in
the P4 position : causative markers (se-, sye-, wa-, re-), a mutual
act marker (nge-), repetitive act markers (ra- and na-), an
automatic/uncontrollable act marker (ma-), an objectivizer (sa-),
a progressive marker (ne-) and a reflexive marker (ne-). After
the description of these affixes, their historical origin is studied
through comparison with several genetically related languages
and a tentative positioning of them among all Tibeto-Burman
languages is proposed.},
