Komnzo belongs to the Tonda subgroup of the Yam language family, which is also known as the Morehead Upper-Maro group. This grammar provides the first comprehensive description of a Yam language. It is based on 16 months of fieldwork. The primary source of data is a text corpus of around 12 hours recorded and transcribed between 2010 and 2015. Komnzo provides many fields of future research, but the most interesting aspect of its structure lies in the verb morphology, to which the two largest chapters of the grammar are dedicated. Komnzo verbs may index up to two arguments showing agreement in person, number and gender. Verbs encode 18 TAM categories, valency, directionality and deictic status. Morphological complexity lies not only in the amount of categories that verbs may express, but also in the way these are encoded. 410 0$aStudies in diversity linguistics. 606 $aWriting systems, alphabets$2bicssc 607 $aPapua New Guinea$xLanguage and languages 608 $cElectronic books. 610 $aLinguistics 615 7$aWriting systems, alphabets 700 $aDöhler$b Christian$0987137 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910318333703321 996 $aA grammar of Komnzo$92256030 997 $aUNINA
