Each Ket verb lexically determines the morpheme positions its subject/object agreement markers will occupy (Vajda 2000a), raising an interesting question about the division between derivation and inflection in this language. Stump (1997) showed that inflectional morphology in all languages is “templatic” according to Simpson and Withgott's (1986) definition, but suggested a non-trivial distinction may exist between “templatic” and “non-templatic” forms of derivation. Vajda (2000a, 2001, 2002) argued that Ket actant agreement patterns use inflection position selection as a component of derivation. The present article examines the various morphophonemic strategies that identify position-class configuration in this unusual type of word formation, demonstrating that rules based on position class (which I call “morphotactic rules”) elegantly account for many hitherto puzzling features of Ket verb structure
