Additional information

This paper is part of ongoing work on Palauan syntax. It owes much to extended discussions with Sandra Chung, Grant Goodall, S.-Y. Kuroda, and Leslie Saxon. It has also benefitted from the remarks of Frank Heny and the NLLT reviewers. Special thanks are due to my Palauan consultants in San Diego and in Palau: Presley Etibek, Merline Malsol, Nina Ngirangol, Roy Ngirchechol, and Theodore Rengulbai. This work was supported in part by grant #6-563782-19900-3 from the UCSD Academic Senate to Professor Sandra Chung, and by NSF Doctoral Dissertation Grant #BNS-8410542.
