Abstract: This thesis provides a first description of the simple and complex constructions of the Hwe Koi variety of Mok, along with a description of the functions of the unspecified pronoun tr?. Mok is a member of the Angkuic subgroup of the Palaungic branch of Austroasiatic and spoken in the Shan state of Myanmar and in Chiang Rai province of Thailand. As for data sources, six texts were recorded from native speakers who live in Chiangrai, Thailand. They include three narrative, one procedural, and two expository texts. The Mok structures are similar to the structures of many Austroasiatic languages of Mainland Southeast Asia. The basic word order of the clause is SVO. In a noun phrase, the head noun is optionally preceded by a demonstrative and followed by stative verbs and noun modifiers, classifier phrases, and possessors. The personal pronouns are singular, dual or plural, with no gender distinction. Dynamic verbs fill the predicate slots of intransitive and transitive clauses and stative verbs serve as predicates of stative clauses. Mok has no ditransitive clause constructions. Instead, a two-clause construction is used to handle transfer events. As for the Mok complex sentences, this language has no complementizer to introduce a complement clause, while temporal and conditional adverbial clauses are marked by clause-initial subordinators. Additionally, causative constructions are periphrastic. As for the Mok unspecified pronoun tr?, it has no semantic constraints with respect to person. It is coreferential with its antecedent, which can only be the subject argument of a clause. The coreferential properties of tr? are either within a clause, between a complement clause and a matrix clause, or between upstairs and downstairs clauses of a causative construction. tr? can also function as a reflexive pronoun and as a possessor in noun phrases.
