This chapter provides an updated examination of the syntactic properties of Formosan languages with a selection of topics that one typically expects to find. After an overview of the constituent order in these languages, it concisely discusses the unusual Philippine-type voice system that characterizes all languages except Rukai; issues related to argument structure, such as the status of the subject, case marking, and pronominal systems; word classes; and some unusual phenomena related to complex predicates.
