Sentence structure The research available indicates a variation in opinion about Chimariko's word order. Dixon claimed that usual word order is SVO or SOV, but in some cases the object precedes the subject, especially when the subject is pronominal. Jany claims that word order is not rigid but is mainly verb-final. The clauses are separated by brackets and the verbs are bolded in the following example: Inside noun phrases, there is variation in order of modifiers and the noun; sometimes the noun comes before other elements of the phrase, sometimes after. When dealing with possession, the subject always precedes the object. Case Chimariko has an agent/patient case system. For first persons, agent and patient are differentiated in both transitive and intransitive clauses, and third persons are not. Person hierarchy in the argument structure is present as well where speech act participants are favored over third persons. Possession Chimariko differentiates alienable and inalienable possession. Alienable possessions such as objects and kinship are marked by suffix, while inalienable possessions such as body parts are marked by prefix, on the possessed. Examples from JP Harrington field notes (Jany 2007) contrasting alienable and inalienable possession: čʰ-uweš 'my horn'(deer says) noˀot huweš-ˀi 'my horn' (Frank says) Complementation In Chimariko, there is no grammatical complementation, however there are a few strategies to convey semantic complementation including separate clauses, verbal affixes, the use of attitude words, and using the desiderative imiˀna 'to want'. Examples from Jany (2007): Complements with utterance predicates (separate clauses): Desiderative imiˀna ‘to want’ with clausal arguments Relative clauses In Chimariko, relativization can be done one of two ways - using a special verb suffix -rop/-rot to form internally headed clauses, and or by a headless relative clause. There is a relative pronoun map'un that is sometimes used. JP Harrington field note example found in Jany (2007): The relative clause is in brackets. map’un is the head.
