魯凱語文法

魯凱語文法(Rukai grammar)為基於魯凱語之文法。在文法的分類上臺灣南島語言並不同於一般的分析語或其它綜合語裡的動詞、名詞、形容詞、介詞和副詞等之基本詞類分類。比如臺灣南島語裡普遍沒有副詞，而副詞的概念一般以動詞方式呈現、可稱之為「副動詞」，類之於俄語裡的副動詞。 對於數、格(附著)及時態改變時語詞的變化。魯凱語只有代詞本身會依格位之不同而進行變格運作。謂語本身不會依人稱、數、性之變化而進行變位運作；而是基於已然語氣及非已然語氣、以主事(AF)及非主事(NAF)的觀點結合時體氣語詞(TAM/TMA/動貌詞)，再配合謂語的時態、體、式進行形態變化來運作。
基本的文法分類是將魯凱語詞類之詞綴、字詞結構及分類法，對比分析語等之詞類分類法加以條析判別。

**詞彙與構詞**

**構詞方法**
基本上萬山魯凱語音節採用一種基本的(C)V 構詞，通常詞構有2到4個音節(Zeitoun 2007)。有4種構詞程序。
#加詞綴(affixation)
#語根修飾(stem modification)
#重複詞(reduplication/RED)
#複合詞(compounding)
下列重複範式是產生在霧臺魯凱語裡：
重複名詞語根
*N + RED '大量'
*N(數詞、或時段) + RED '延長一陣子...'
重複動詞語根
*V + RED '繼續，繼續做，重複做'
*V + RED '未來式'
*V (靜態詞) + RED '強烈，比較大'
在霧臺魯凱語裡，附著式的語根重覆能夠被用來產生若干基本的名詞及動詞，比如：'打雷'、'山' ，以及 '刮擦'。
