  The aim of this paper is to present a method for the description of nominalization and clause-linkage for field linguists, and illustrate it with data from Yukuna (ISO 693-3:ycn, Glottocode: yucu1253), based on the work in Lemus Serrano (2020). The method consists in defining a language-specific nominal gridlisting the prototypical internal and external features of Noun Phrases (NPs) and using this grid to identify the degree to which individual clause-linking strategies match or deviate from this prototype, as defined on a language-specific basis. This methodology was applied to all relevant clause-linking strategies in the language, previously identified by the author based on a first-hand corpus of texts. Elicited data was also used when necessary, for hypothesis confirmation.
