  • Benefactive Applicative Periphrases: a Typological Approach
    This is the pre-final version of a paper published in Zuñiga, F. & S. Kittilä, Studies in Ditransitive Constructions, Benjamins, 2010, 29-69. Please don’t quote without checking the published version before. Benefactive applicative periphrases: a typological approach Denis CREISSELS University of Lyon Abstract After defining applicative periphrases as constructions in which a verb (the verb-operator) acts as a valency operator licensing the expression of an additional participant fulfilling a given semantic role in the event encoded by another verb (the lexical verb), this paper analyses applicative periphrases licensing beneficiaries. Three formal types are recognized with respect to the grammatical nature of the two verb forms involved in the periphrasis, and their distribution in the languages of the world is examined. Grammaticalization paths leading to benefactive applicative periphrases are discussed, as well as further evolutions of benefactive applicative periphrases. The last two sections are devoted to autobenefactive applicative periphrases and to the use of verbs other than ‘give’ as verb-operator in benefactive applicative periphrases. 1. Introduction The recognition and analysis of periphrastic constructions functionally equivalent to morphological derivations encoding operations on verbal valency has been a recurrent topic in the study of passive and causative constructions. By contrast, applicative periphrases are largely neglected in the general literature on valency changes, although such constructions have been described in many languages. This paper examines applicative periphrases licensing benefactives in a typological perspective. This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, after defining the notion of applicative periphrasis, I define benefactive applicative periphrases as a semantic subtype of applicative periphrases, and I examine their general properties.

  • Novus Ortus: the Awakening of Laz Language in Turkey”
    DOI: 10.7816/idil-04-16-08 idil, 2015, Cilt 4, Sayı 16, Volume 4, Issue 16 NOVUS ORTUS: THE AWAKENING OF LAZ LANGUAGE IN TURKEY Nurdan KAVAKLI 1 ABSTRACT Laz (South Caucasian) language, which is spoken primarily on the southeastern coast of the Black Sea in Turkey, is being threatened by language endangerment. Having no official status, Laz language is considered to be an ethnic minority language in Turkey. All Laz people residing in Turkey are bilingual with the official language in the country, Turkish, and use Laz most frequently in interfamilial conversations. In this article, Laz language is removed from the dusty pages of Turkish history as a response to the threat of language attrition in the world. Accordingly, language endangerment is viewed in terms of a sociolinguistic phenomenon within the boundaries of both language-internal and -external factors. Laz language revitalization acts have also been scrutinized. Having a dekko at the history of modern Turkey will enlighten whether those revitalization acts and/or movements can offer a novus ortus (new birth) for the current situation of Laz language.

  • Abkhaz Loans in Megrelian *
    ABKHAZ LOANS IN MEGRELIAN * VYACHESLAV A. CHIRIKBA Leiden University Abstract The paper presents a thorough investigation of the Abkhaz borrowings in Megre- lian, including structural loans, grammatical elements, adjectives, adverbs, numer- als, and appellativa (anatomical and medical terms, household items, terms related to husbandry and pasture, floristic and zoological names, religious terms, landscape, food, etc.). The author examines also the cases of the Abkhaz influence on Megrelian onomasticon. In Memory of the Great Caucasologist Professor Georgij Andreevič Klimov 1. INTRODUCTION Megrelians, the representatives of the western branch of the Kart- velian-speaking peoples,1 have for many centuries lived in the condi- tions of close cultural, economic and political ties with the Abkhaz- ians, the neighbouring people speaking an unrelated West Caucasian language.2 In different historical periods Abkhazia and Megrelia to- gether were parts of a number of state entities: from the semi-legen- dary Kolkhian kingdom (whose reality is, however, seriously doubted by many historians) to the historically attested kingdom of Lazica, later—the Abkhazian kingdom (8-10 c. A.D.), and thereafter— the united Georgian kingdom until its disintegration in the 14th cen- tury. In the beginning of the 19th century the Megrelian (in 1803) * I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Prof. B. G. Hewitt for his valu- able suggestions on the text of this paper and for correcting my English. Many thanks also to Boris Džonua for reading the manuscript and for his usefull com- ments. 1 Kartvelian linguistic family comprises four languages: Georgian, Svan, Megre- lian, and Laz (only the latter two are mutually intelligible).

  • Multiple Voices Towards Discursive Construction of Lazi Identity
    Linköping University Department of Culture and Communication Master’s Program Language and Culture in Europe Cultural Identity as a Discursive Product: Multiple Voices Towards Discursive Construction of Lazi Identity Nazlı AVDAN Language and Culture in Europe Spring 2011 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Jan ANWARD ABSTRACT Ethno-linguistic diversities and the rights to enjoy and maintain indigenous languages and identities has been a central issue in the socio-political agenda of Turkey since the foundation of the Republic of Turkey. The Lazi have taken their part in the discussions concerning minority rights through the discourses of a group of Lazi activists since the early 1990s. This study aims to examine the discursive construction of Lazi identity with close attention to its various actors and the context in which the process is carried out. To this end, selected texts by the social actors who are involved in the Lazi identity building process are studied in terms of various functions of language contributing to the communicative production of discourses. The content of written and oral commentaries by various social actors who are influential in the Lazi identity building process is studied using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The study concludes that the construction of Lazi identity is an on-going process which is developed by influential social actors. The discourses of Lazi activists display a dilemma between the commitment to establish or re-establish a distinct Lazi identity with emphasis on a distinct language and culture rooted in ancient history and a determination to remain a component of the Republic of Turkey. Keywords: cultural memory, identity building, heteroglosia, responsive reactions, discourse analysis, othering.

  • Polish As a Foreign Language at Elementary Level of Instruction … 29
    Danuta Gabrys-Barker – Polish as a foreign language at elementary level of instruction … 29 Polish as a foreign language at elementary level of instruction: crosslinguistic influences in writing Danuta Gabrys-Barker [email protected] University of Silesia, Institute of English (Poland) ABSTRACT. Being a minority European language, Polish has not attracted the attention of second language research (SLA) very much. Most studies in the area focus on English and other major languages describing variables and process observed in learners’ interlanguage development. This article looks at the language performance of elementary learners of Polish as a foreign language with a view to diagnosing areas of difficulty at the initial stages of language instruction. It is a case study of five learners’ written production after a year of intensive language instruction in the controlled conditions of a classroom. The objective of the study presented here is: 1. to determine the types of error produced in a short translation task at different levels of language (morphosyntactic, lexical) 2. to observe manifestations of crosslinguistic influences between languages the subjects know (interlingual transfer) as well as those related to the language learnt itself (intralingual transfer). The small sample of texts produced does not allow for any generalized observations and conclusions, however, at the level of elementary competence in any foreign language, as other research shows, the amount of individual variation is not the most significant factor. Thus the incorrect forms produced may testify to some more universally error-prone areas of language. The value of this kind of analysis lies in this direct application to the teaching of Polish as a synthetic language.

In this research, eleven categories of names for drug/alcohol treatment facilities have been identified while eight categories have been identified for adult daycare centers. Ten categories have become apparent for nursing homes and assisted living facilities. These naming choices function as euphemisms in many cases, and in others, names reference morphemes which are perceived to reference a higher social class than competitor names.

Based on evidence from Koryak (Chukotko-Kamchan) anaphors, we argue that the AAE should be weakened and be stated as a generalization about person agreement only. We propose a theory of the weakened AAE, which combines a modification of Preminger (2019)'s AnaphP-encapsulation proposal as well as converging evidence from work on the internal syntax of pronouns (Harbour 2016, van Urk 2018).
