Abstract1.0. The corpus on which this description of Sathewkok Hakka ¹ grammar is based consists of approximately 30.000 “words” ² of recorded and transcribed texts, mainly short conversations on a number of topics, stories of the folk-tale type, plus a collection of isolated sentences elicited from the informant in the course of the field work. The lexicon, admittedly incomplete as yet, comprises well over 2.000 morphemes, of which about half have been sufficiently analyzed distributionaliy for summary statements to be feasible. The rest needs further research; most of these belong to the “restricted” ³ type of morphemes.
