As shown above, Wulai Atayal and Mayrinax Atayal share some syntactic features and display some differen臼S 品 well. Such syntactic similarties and di旺eren臼s， in addi-tion to the three criteria--phonological, lexical and morphological--as suggested by Tsuchida(1980), futher support that they are two different dialects of the same language.
Notes
1.The earlier version of this paper was presented at the Seventh International ConÎ er-ence on Austronesian
Linguisti白，
Leiden, August 22-27, 1994. Here, I would like to thank the National Science Council, Republic of China, for generous financial support of the work on Atayal which is represented in part here, and which aid was provided by through grants NSC 77-0301-HOO3-14, NSC 78-0301-HOO3-19, NSC80-0301-H∞3-01 and NSC 83-0301-H∞13-017.
2.While the Squliq dialect has been studied by many linguists, such 部 Egerod (1965a, 1965b, 1966a, 1966b, 1969, 1974, 1980, 1993), Rau (1992) and Huang (1989, 1991, 1993), the C'uli' dialect does not get investigated as much, except by Li, who has been working on both dialects (1980a, 1980b, 1981, 1982a, 1982b, 1982c, 1983a, 1983b, 1985a, 1985b, 1986, 1994), Mei (1994) and Chang (1994).
3.The data on Wulai Atayal are mainly given by Pastor You Jin-chuan and those on Mayrinax Atayal are provided by Mr. Tang Ching-fa. I am grateful to them both for sharing generously their knowledge of the Atayal language and culture with me, and for their understanding and
patien∞.
4.Notice that while /ng/ stands for velar nasal in this paper, /n _g/ indicates a sequen臼
of the alveolar nasal /n/ and the velar fricative /g/

8.Mayrin且 does not have a Comitative case marker for common nouns; the conjunction
間，
is used in conjoining two or more nouns (either proper or common nouns) and clauses, as sho.vn below:(1) a. ngiaw 玉u' xuil [cat and dog]
, a cat and a dog'
mm 叫 叫一副削 心自間
q]b
c. baicu' 玉立，往立 yumin [Baicu' and/Cαn Yur吐n]

16.The imperative negator
!堅i
seems to come from the Agent - focusverb 且星空 !axi

seems to. be the N o.n-Agent fo.cus verb. Co.mpare the fo.Ilo.wing sentences with m星空 and 噩噩笠 in the declarative sentences, and 坦i in the imperative sentence:
(1) a. ma -1缸 ci' cu' 羽uil
