English abstract

This work is the first comprehensive grammar of an Otomi language, a family of American-Indian languages spoken in Mexico. Otomi belongs to the Oto-Pamean branch of Oto-Manguean, a major linguistic macro-phylum. This two volume grammar is on the variety of San Ildefonso Otomi, which is has extensive natural corpus exemplification and a profusion of tables that sum up complex information. The grammar describes the kind of morphological complexity expected in Oto-Manguean languages: independent and dependent verbal stems, and of the latter, up to four per verb for different aspectual distinctions; extensive morphotactic adjustments in inflection and their conditioning factors.
