【鲁凯语文法】
鲁凯语文法(Rukai grammar)为基于鲁凯语之文法。在文法的分类上台湾南岛语言并不同于一般的分析语或其它综合语里的动词、名词、形容词、介词和副词等之基本词类分类。比如台湾南岛语里普遍没有副词，而副词的概念一般以动词方式呈现、可称之为「副动词」，类之于俄语里的副动词。 对于数、格(附著)及时态改变时语词的变化。鲁凯语只有代词本身会依格位之不同而进行变格运作。谓语本身不会依人称、数、性之变化而进行变位运作；而是基于已然语气及非已然语气、以主事(AF)及非主事(NAF)的观点结合时体气语词(TAM/TMA/动貌词)，再配合谓语的时态、体、式进行焦点变换来运作。基本的文法分类是将鲁凯语词类之词缀、字词结构及分类法，对比分析语等之词类分类法加以条析判别。
==词汇与构词==
===构词方法===
基本上万山鲁凯语音节采用一种基本的(C)V 构词，通常词构有2到4个音节(Zeitoun 2007)。有4种构词程序。
#加词缀(affixation)
#语根修饰(stem modification)
#重复词(reduplication/RED)
#复合词(compounding)
下列重复范式是产生在雾台鲁凯语里：
重复名词语根
*N + RED '大量'
*N(数词、或时段) + RED '延长一阵子...'
重复动词语根
*V + RED '继续，继续做，重复做'
*V + RED '未来式'
*V (静态词) + RED '强烈，比较大'
在雾台鲁凯语里，附著式的语根重复能够被用来产生若干基本的名词及动词，比如：'打雷'、'山' ，以及 '刮擦'。
