the verb (Frostad, 2012, 169). Object clitics Object clitics are pronominal forms, which only occur with verb stems and only mark direct object (Frostad, 2012, 85). Transitive verbs rarely occur without object marking clitics (Frostad, 2012, p. 169), and are either attached directly to the verb stem (2), or follow the transitive suffix, either (3) or (4). First-person singular exclusive object clitic attached to verb stem Third-person singular object clitic attached to transitive suffix –i Third-person singular object clitic attached to transitive suffix Object clitics may be the only referent to the object in the clause (5) or they may occur with a coreferential noun phrase (6) (Frostad, 2012, p. 85). Second-person singular Second-person singular object clitic with coreferential noun phrase second-person singular independent pronoun : Preverbal subject partial clitics Preverbal subject marking pronouns in Ughele can appear in the form of partial clitics. These clitics precede the verb complex, but only in very specific constructions (Frostad, p. 82). They cliticize to two particles, the homophonous imperative mood marker (7), and conjunction 'then' (8), and they occur as independent forms indicating pivots in complex clauses (9) (Frostad, 2012, p. 171). This aspect of Ughele's grammar bears resemblance to that of three of its nearest neighbouring languages, Hoava, Roviana and Marovo, with that of Marovo being the most similar (Frostad, 2012, p. 171). First-person plural inclusive preverbal subject clitic attached to mood marker Second-person singular preverbal subject clitic attached to conjunction Third-person plural preverbal subject independent form Postverbal subject pronouns In Ughele, postverbal subject pronouns overlap completely with preposed possessive pronouns (Frostad, 2012, p. 84). Postverbal subject pronouns mark various types of foci, where the pronouns would refer to the focused constituent (Frostad, 2012, p. 85). Below is an example of the third-person plural postverbal subject pronoun used in a sentence. Demonstratives Demonstrative particles are a grammatical function that indicate specific entities as well as addressing deixis. Demonstratives in Ughele are separated into three categories based on deictic distance and further identified as singular or plural. Within Ughele morphology, these particles appear after the head noun within the noun phrase, taking the final position. Ughele follows linguistic trends in Oceanic languages with regards to sentence construction with demonstratives. Within the language families of the Solomon Islands, there is a linguistic trend of separating definite articles and root nouns. The common word order throughout the languages of the Solomon Islands is noun-demonstrative,
