Course Reader
Language and Space Marcus Kracht Department of Linguistics, UCLA 3125 Campbell Hall PO Box 951543 Los Angeles, CA 90095–1543 [email protected] March 15, 2007 2 Introduction Foreword My own interest in space and language was sparked off by the regularities I ob- served in the case systems of Finnish and Hungarian. Though the facts are often obvious and have been pointed out many times in the literature, I was surprised to find that most literature is concerned only with the morphological aspects of space, and that there seemed to be very little on semantics. The more I looked into the matter the more I discovered how fascinating the area is; I also learned that there is a lot of material on space and language, but it tends to be somewhat lesser known. There is a noticeable trend to take the linguistics of space more serious also from a theoretical point of view. The present book does not attempt to provide a typological survey, nor is it uniquely theoretical in character. I have tried to create a synthesis between lin- guistically oriented investigation (involving syntax, morphology and historical de- velopment) and formal ones (which include the mathematical structure of space and other spatial concepts). Inevitably, some parts of the book will be hard going for a linguist and they might therefore disapprove of my overly formal stance. Yet, I hope that such readers will benefit nevertheless from this work even if they skip such sections. On the other hand, when formal accounts of meanings can be given I think they should be given. -

Chapter 26 Sakha and Dolgan, the North Siberian Turkic languages Brigitte Pakendorf and Eugenie Stapert Abstract This chapter provides a brief structural overview of the North Siberian Turkic languages Sakha (also known as Yakut) and Dolgan. Both languages are spoken in the northeast of the Russian Federation: Sakha in the Republic Sakha (Yakutia) and Dolgan on the Taimyr Peninsula. These languages clearly fit the Turkic linguistic profile with vowel harmony, agglutinative morphology, SOV word order, and preposed relative clauses, but due to contact-induced changes there are considerable differences from other Turkic languages as well. Notable differences are the loss of the Turkic genitive and locative case and the development of a partitive and comparative case, as well as a distinction between an immediate and a remote imperative. -
How Georgian Is (Not) Like Basque: a Comparative Case Study of Split-S
Baker, Georgian vs. Basque, 4/5/2017 1 How Georgian is (not) like Basque: a comparative case study of split-S languages James Baker, University of Cambridge CamCoS, 4th May 2017 1 Introduction 1.1 Split-S languages Split-S:1 morphosyntactic alignment where dierent intransitive predicates occur with dierent case/agreement/(word order): (1) Central Pomo (Pomoan, California): a. Pa· qhadé·č’. I.agt ght ‘I ght.’ b. ”to· ló·ya. I.pat fell ‘I fell.’ (Mithun 1991: 518–9) In dierent split-S languages, the split amongst intransitive predicates is sensitive to dierent (predominantly semantic) factors (Mithun 1991, Donohue and Wichmann 2008, Baker in preparation, a.o.), for example: 1Also known as ‘split intransitive’, ‘semantically aligned’, ‘active(-stative)’, ‘agentive-patientive’ etc. etc. I here take ‘uid-S’ as a subset of split-S (cf. Dixon 1994)—see Baker in preparation for discussion. Baker, Georgian vs. Basque, 4/5/2017 2 • [±volition]: Eastern Pomo, Tabassaran, ~Tsova-Tush ... (‘uid-S’ languages); • [±initiation]: Lakhota?, Acehnese?; • [±state]: Galela, Loma, Guaraní? (‘active-stative’ languages2); • more than one factor, e.g. – Central Pomo: [±volition], [±state], [±aected] ...; – Tibetan: [±volition], [±focus]? – ... Here: focus on two relatively similar split-S languages, Basque and Georgian. 1.2 The Split Intransitivity Hierarchy Starting point for analysis is Sorace’s (2000 et seq.) Split Intransitivity Hierarchy (aka Auxiliary Selection Hierarchy) (SIH):3 Change of location come, arrive, leave, fall ... Change of state become, decay, die, be born, grow ... State stay, last, survive, persist, be, sit, be useful ... Uncontrolled process tremble, catch on, skid, cough, rumble, rain ... Controlled process (motional) swim, run, walk .. -
Chapter 4 Nouns, Pronouns and Noun Phrases
Chapter 4 NounsNouns,, Pronouns and Noun phrases In Menggwa Dla, nouns denote entities (real or imagined), abstract ideas and properties. A noun phrase consists of a head noun on its own, or a head noun plus one or more modifiers, all of which must be contiguous to each other (with exceptions; see §4.3). Three nominal categories are grammaticalised in Menggwa Dla grammar: person, genders (§4.1) and number (§4.2). However, these nominal categories are not marked within the noun phrases. Instead, the person, gender and number categories of a nominal are manifested by cross-reference suffixes (§5.2). Nouns can be modified by various modifiers: adjectives, genitive phrases, proprietive/ abessive phrases, demonstratives, degree qualifiers, quantifiers and relative clauses (§4.3). There are no morphological differences between proper names and common nouns (§4.4). On the noun phrase level there are the numerous case clitics and other nominal clitics like the topic clitic and focus clitics (§4.5). Different sets of pronouns are used in different positions (§4.6). There are the ‘citation pronouns’ which are used in topic/ subject positions or in isolation, and there are only three of them, each marking only a person category: yo first person (‘I’/ ‘We’), si second person (i.e. ‘you’) and ai third person (‘s/he/it/they’). There are also the object pronouns, genitive pronouns and subject resumptive pronouns which have fifteen or sixteen members, each marking different person, number and 186 gender combinations. These pronouns also mark a distinction of inclusive versus exclusive first person; nowhere else in Menggwa Dla (and Dla proper) grammar is the distinction of exclusive versus inclusive first person grammaticalised (see §4.6). -

Many of them are common to Eurasian languages of the Altaic and Uralic types. While often dealt with in typologically oriented linguistic work, most aspects of Turkic structure still call for more unbiased and differentiated description. -

Versatile Cases1 ALEXANDRA Y
J. Linguistics 44 (2008), 565–603. f 2008 Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/S002222670800532X Printed in the United Kingdom Versatile cases1 ALEXANDRA Y. AIKHENVALD Research Centre for Linguistic Typology, La Trobe University (Received 19 December 2006; revised 11 April 2008) Case markers are thought of primarily as nominal morphemes, indicating the func- tion of a noun phrase in a clause. In a few languages of the world case markers also appear on verbal forms. Such ‘versatile’ cases can express (i) temporal, causal and other relationships between clauses, and (ii) aspectual and modal meanings within a clause. Core cases tend to express aspectual and modal meanings, while oblique cases tend to be used as clause-linkers. The recurrent semantic differences between case morphemes as nominal markers, as clause-linking devices, and as exponents of clausal categories are rooted in the inherent polyfunctionality of these ‘chameleon’ morphemes: the specific meaning of any instance is affected by the morphosyntactic context in which it occurs. The conclusions are corroborated by a case study of Manambu, a Papuan language with extensive use of cases on nouns and on verbs, as exponents of aspectual and modal meanings and as clause-linking devices. 1. C ASE ON VERBS? Case is conventionally defined as a nominal category, whose major function is to mark the role of the noun phrase in a clause (see Matthews 1997, Blake 2001: 1, Dixon forthcoming a). Functions of a noun phrase in a clause can be marked with a bound morpheme, or with an adposition (a preposition or postposition; see Iggesen 2005: 2, and Blake 2001: 9–12, on ‘synthetic’ cases expressed with bound morphemes, and ‘analytic cases’ expressed with ad- positions). -
A Grammar of Chechen
A Grammar of Chechen Zura Dotton, Ph.D John Doyle Wagner 1 Background Information and Introduction 1.1 Speakers and Official Status Chechen is one of the co-official languages of the Republic of Chechnya, which is a federal subject of the Russian Federation. According to the most recent census data in 2010 there are approximately 1.4 million speakers of Chechen, making it one of the largest minority languages in the Russian Federation after Ukrainian and Tatar. Speakers of Chechen belong mostly to the Chechen ethnicity and are located primarily in Chechnya. Chechen is also spoken in countries with sizable Chechen minorities, namely Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Austria, Germany, Jordan, Turkey, Georgia, and urban centers in European Russia (particularly Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Rostov-na-Donu). 1.2 Distribution of Speakers Chechnya is located on the northern slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains. The Republic of Chechnya is a subnational, semi-autonomous republic of the Russian Federation, and the independence of Chechnya has been at the center of the region’s history for much of the 20th and early 21st century. It shares political borders with the Republic of Ingushetia to the east, the Republic of Dagestan to the west, Stavropol Krai to the north, and an international border with the Republic of Georgia to the south. Outside of their ancestral homeland in the Caucasus, Chechen speakers are found in the Pankisi Gorge of neighboring Georgia and in the provinces of Tusheti and Kakheti. The Kisti and Chechen community in Georgia has grown dramatically in the recent decades due to the influx of refugees after the First and Second Chechen Wars as well as the replacement of the Ossetian community following the Georgian-Ossetian conflict in 2008. -
The Languages of the Andes - Willem F
Cambridge University Press 052136275X - The Languages of the Andes - Willem F. H. Adelaar Frontmatter More information THE LANGUAGES OF THE ANDES The Andean and Pacific regions of South America are home to a remark- able variety of languages and language families, with a range of typologi- cal differences. This linguistic diversity results from a complex historical background, comprising periods of greater communication between dif- ferent peoples and languages, and periods of fragmentation and individual development. The Languages of the Andes is the first book in English to document in a single volume the indigenous languages spoken and for- merly spoken in this linguistically rich region, as well as in adjacent areas. Grouping the languages into different cultural spheres, it describes their characteristics in terms of language typology, language contact, and the social perspectives of present-day languages. The authors provide both historical and contemporary information, and illustrate the languages with detailed grammatical sketches. Written in a clear and accessible style, this book will be a valuable source for students and scholars of linguistics and anthropology alike. . is Professor of Amerindian Languages and Cul- tures at Leiden University. He has travelled widely in South America and has conducted fieldwork in Peru on different varieties of Quechua and minor languages of the area.
