How do I read the document?
The pdf documents are accessible on Macintosh, PC/Windows and Unix
platforms. You must have at least version 4 of Adobe'sª Acrobat
Reader¨ application (Version 5 is current at the time of writing this
document) for your platform in order to access the documents. This is
a free download from www.adobe.com.

What is included?
Access to the entire document is gained via the main icon entitled
ÒMartuthuniraÓ. The grammar is separated into sections which may be
viewed individually. These are enclosed in the folder named
ÒgrammarÓ. At this stage, only those materials included in the original
published work are made available here. Later versions of the package
may include a more complete corpus and selected sound files.

How do I navigate the document?
Double-clicking on the main icon entitled ÒMartuthuniraÓ will bring up
the title page and give you access to the Dedication and Table of
Contents. Each item in the Table of contents is a link which will take
you to the relevant chapter or section. In Acrobat reader, when you
place the cursor over any clickable link, it will turn from an open hand
to a pointing finger.

There are three ways to navigate around the document:
1) Use the scroll bars and arrows to navigate the document much as
    you would any document or web page in your favourite
    application or browser, or use the menu commands which
    Acrobat¨ provides for navigating the document as you read.
2) Use the bookmarks which appear in the pane on the left of the
    document. This will give you access to the main numbered
    sections within each chapter as well as the tables and figures.
3) A number of intertextual links have also been provided within the
    body of the document allowing you to jump quickly to any point
    which has been referenced in the text.

These include:
a) Chapter and section numbering, ie.: Chapter 2; Section 3.5;
    7.5.1
b) References to sentence examples in the body of the text, ie.: See
    example 3.45
c) References to cited works, ie.: Wordick (1982). All such items will
    be linked in the documents with the exception of references to
    sentence examples which appear on the same page as the
    reference.

Skipping back to where you were before following a link is as simple as
either using the "Go back" or "Go forward" commands from the
"Document" menu, or choosing the appropriate document from the list
of open documents in the "Window" menu. In order for this second
option to work, ensure you have unchecked the "Open Cross-Document
Links in Same Window" button in the Preferences.
The precise destination of linked items may depend on such factors
as screen resolution.

How do I cite the document?
With the exception of a slightly different selection of photographs, the
files are an exact facsimile of the published version (which is now out
of print) and citations should make reference to this original.
