句法

不像大多數其它台灣南島語言,魯凱語為主賓格語言、而不是典型的焦點系統之作格語言形式 (Zeitoun 2007)。魯凱語也是台灣南島語裡唯一“沒有焦點系統”的語言。於語言的演進上、如果沒有焦點(focus)則往往會往“主賓格語言(AS-O)”的方向發展,不過有時“對格語言”也會含有“部份作格性(A-SO)”的現象或則反之亦然。總結在萬山魯凱語有兩種句型:
名詞化
動詞化
補語化採用4種策略(Zeitoun 2007):
零策略(zero strategy,比如:並列補語)
動詞連續化(verb serialization)
名物化(nominalization)
使役動詞化(causativization)
限定受詞在主動及被動句子裡均可作主題。
