| Research Abstract |
(`A' in Kinnauri words expresses a long vowel.)
This study aims to analyze the modifying structures in Kinnauri. In Kinnauri, an adjective is put before a noun and can modify it without any morphological change. An adjective, however, can take a suffix, -seyA. An adjective with the suffix -seyA means like `something with the quality expressed by the adjective', and can have comparative meaning. In the case of a verb modifying a noun, the verb takes some forms and is put before a noun. One of verb suffixes is -ts, which is thought to be a kind of a nominalizer, but the function of which is not clear. Another suffix is -tseyA, which is similar to the adjective suffix -seyA. We do not know the difference in meaning between a verb with -ts and a verb with -tseyA.
The suffix -seyA can be attatched to a noun, but -tseyA cannot. This suggests that Kinnauri adjectives share similar characteristics with nouns.
