  • Development of Copula and Auxiliary BE in Children with Specific Language Impairment and Younger Unaffected Controls*
    F;rsr Langnoge, 22 (2002). 137-172. Printed in England Development of copula and auxiliary BE in children with Specific Language Impairment and younger unaffected controls* KATE L. JOSEPH LUDOVICA SERRATRICE University of Mancltester GINA CONTI-RAMSDEN I ABSTRACT Children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) have well- known difficulties with the obligatory use of verbal tense-marking morphology which they use optionally for a longer period of time than typically developing children. Copula BE and auxiliary BE are two tense markers that have been shown to be problematic for children with SLI, but their status as independent allomorphs is somewhat controversial in the literature. In the present study we argue for copula BE and auxiliary BE as two separate tense markers showing different developmental curves both for children with SLI and for younger unaffected controls. It is suggested that copular versus auxiliary status, morphological form, and the frequency of the lexical construction containing BE all affect children’s provision of copular and auxiliary forms. Implications for identifying variables constraining optionality are discussed. INTRODUCTION Children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) have long been * This research was supported by the Economic and Social Research Council, ESRC grant to Gina Conti-Ramsden (grant number R000237767).

  • An Internal Reconstruction of Tibetan Stem Alternations1
    Transactions of the Philological Society Volume 110:2 (2012) 212–224 AN INTERNAL RECONSTRUCTION OF TIBETAN STEM ALTERNATIONS1 By GUILLAUME JACQUES CNRS (CRLAO), EHESS ABSTRACT Tibetan verbal morphology differs considerably from that of other Sino-Tibetan languages. Most of the vocalic and consonantal alternations observed in the verbal paradigms remain unexplained after more than a hundred years of investigation: the study of historical Tibetan morphology would seem to have reached an aporia. This paper proposes a new model, explaining the origin of the alternations in the Tibetan verb as the remnant of a former system of directional prefixes, typologically similar to the ones still attested in the Rgyalrongic languages. 1. INTRODUCTION Tibetan verbal morphology is known for its extremely irregular conjugations. Li (1933) and Coblin (1976) have successfully explained some of the vocalic and consonantal alternations in the verbal system as the result of a series of sound changes. Little substantial progress has been made since Coblin’s article, except for Hahn (1999) and Hill (2005) who have discovered two additional conjugation patterns, the l- and r- stems respectively. Unlike many Sino-Tibetan languages (see for instance DeLancey 2010), Tibetan does not have verbal agreement, and its morphology seems mostly unrelated to that of other languages. Only three morphological features of the Tibetan verbal system have been compared with other languages. First, Shafer (1951: 1022) has proposed that the a ⁄ o alternation in the imperative was related to the –o suffix in Tamangic languages. This hypothesis is well accepted, though Zeisler (2002) has shown that the so-called imperative (skul-tshig) was not an imperative at all but a potential in Old Tibetan.

  • Syntactic Aspects of Nominalization in Five Tibeto-Burman Languages of the Himalayan Area1
    Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Volume 31.2 — October 2008 SYNTACTIC ASPECTS OF NOMINALIZATION IN FIVE TIBETO-BURMAN LANGUAGES OF THE HIMALAYAN AREA1 Carol Genetti University of California, Santa Barbara Research Centre for Linguistic Typology A.R. Coupe Ellen Bartee Kristine Hildebrandt You-Jing Lin La Trobe University SIL SIUE UC Santa Barbara The goal of this paper is to describe some of the syntactic structures that are created through nominalization processes in Himalayan Tibeto-Burman languages and the relationships between those structures. These include both structures involving the nominalization of clauses (e.g. complement clauses, relative clauses) and structures involving the nominalization of verbs and predicates (e.g. the derivation of nouns and adjectives). We will argue that, synchronically, clausal nominalization, structurally represented as [clause]NP, is the basic structure underlying many of the nominalizing constructions in these languages, even though individual constructions embed and alter this structure in interesting ways. In addition to clausal nominalization, we will illustrate the presence of derivational nominalization, represented as [V-NOM]N and [V-NOM]ADJ, although some nominal derivations target the predicate, not the verb root as their domain. We will also demonstrate that derivational nominalization can be seen as having developed from clausal nominalization, at least for some forms in some languages, and that the opposite direction of development, from derivational to clausal structures, is also attested. We will conclude with some syntactic observations pertinent to recent claims made on the historical relationship between nominalization and relativization, demonstrating that there are various ways that these structures can be related.

  • Himalayan Linguistics the Encoding Of
    Himalayan Linguistics The encoding of space in Manange and Nar-Phu (Tamangic) Kristine A. Hildebrandt Southern Illinois University Edwardsville ABSTRACT This is an account of the forms and semantic dimensions of spatial relations in Manange (Tibeto-Burman, Tamangic; Nepal), with comparison to sister language Nar-Phu. Topological relations (“IN/ON/AT/ NEAR”) in these languages are encoded by locative enclitics and also by a set of noun-like objects termed as “locational nouns.” In Manange, the general locative enclitic is more frequently encountered for a wide range of topological relations, while in Nar-Phu, the opposite pattern is observed, i.e. more frequent use of locational nouns. While the linguistic frame of reference system encoded in these forms is primarily relative (i.e. oriented on the speaker’s own viewing perspective), a more extrinsic/absolute system emerges with certain verbs of motion in these languages, with verbs like “come,” “go,” and certain verbs of placement or posture orienting to arbitrary fixed bearings such as slope. This account also provides some examples of cultural or metaphorical extensions of spatial forms as they are encountered in connected speech. KEYWORDS Tamangic, directional, static, dynamic, locational noun, relative, intrinsic, absolute This is a contribution from Himalayan Linguistics, Vol. 16(1), Special Issue on the Grammatical Encoding of Space, Carol Genetti and Kristine Hildebrandt (eds.): 41-58.

Introduction 0.1 Overview 1 Gurung ( ग��ु ) , a.k.a. Tamu Kyi (तम ु 啍यी) is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in the higher mountain area in the kingdom of Nepal. It is also spoken by Gurungs living in the eastern part of this country in which Tibetan speakers are dominant. Not merely Gurungs but also other tribes adjacent to the Gurung speaking area use the term Gurung as their surnames, and at times for their nationality. In spite of the fact that Gurung shows diversity in regional variations, it has been used as a lingua franca of the area. Nowadays, most of the younger generation are not active speakers, but passive listeners of this language. The number of those who speak the language with fluency is decreasing year by year. Most teenagers never speak the language, and instead they use Nepali, the official language of the country. Gurung can be divided into three major dialects: eastern, western, and southern. The Syangja dialect belongs to southern Gurung. According to the 2011 census of Nepal, Gurung is spoken by 326,000 people in the middle of the country2.
