Abstract This open-access release provides an emic grammar note on selected morphosyntactic and pragmatic constructions in Jiepai speech, a local Sinitic speech variety from the Wu-Jianghuai contact zone in Jiepai, Danyang, Jiangsu, China. The file is prepared as a grammar appendix to the Jiepai Jianghu section of the Chuanyue archive, an emic vernacular multimodal archive created by a native insider. The note documents selected structures in grammar, syntax, aspect, disposal, passive-related expression, locative marking, shared-use constructions, degree expression, and pragmatic usage. It includes notes on ge marking; completion-question and negative-completion forms such as geng and beng; aspectual distinctions related to Mandarin le and zhe; na disposal constructions; ha / bo constructions across passive, giving, and marriage-related contexts; locative suffixes; go shared-use constructions; yanlian parallel-action structures; degree adverbs and ironic intensification; and locative lai2 / A patterns. The document is based on the Archive Author's native-speaker knowledge and ongoing documentation of Jiepai speech. It does not present a complete grammar, final character standardization, final IPA transcription, phonetic analysis, or ELAN alignment. Phonetic, tonal, and character-form notes marked as provisional or pending verification are retained as research openings rather than resolved conclusions. Authorship and deposit roles are separate. The Archive Author, The Jiepai Archivist, is the creator, archive owner, rights holder, and public contact person. The uploader provides curatorial and deposit assistance only and is not the author, creator, archive owner, rights holder, or public contact for this archive.
