A Grammar of Doromu-Koki
 
Robert L. Bradshaw
 
A Grammar of Doromu-Koki covers major features of this formerly  minimally described language of Papua New Guinea. This Papuan language, which has been classified as Southeast Manubaran, is spoken by approximately 2,000 speakers. Half reside in the original community area, located in the Owen Stanley ranges to the east-southeast of the capital, Port Moresby, while the remainder are currently living and working there in the capital. This analysis includes culturally appropriate examples from a corpus collected over a period of 18 years. It follows the Basic Linguistic Theory (Dixon 2010a, 2010b and 2012) and The Art of Grammar (Aikhenvald 2015c) framework. The following core aspects of the language studied include: phonology and morphophonology, word classes, complex predicates and verb phrase structure, clause types and structure, clause combining, discourse-pragmatic devices and features of the lexicon. The analysis seeks to promote the preservation of an already endangered language for the benefit of its speakers, and also for linguistic and anthropological scholarship.
 
Textual examples are supplemented by forty-two interlinearised texts of several genres. Indices further specify details of these texts and any others cited in the analysis. Various interesting lexical items include: homonyms, lexeme senses, verbal semantics, autochthonous versus borrowed synonyms, idioms, borrowed terms and biblical translation key terms. The work concludes with a vocabulary list of all Doromu-Koki words and affixes found therein.

Topics, Topic Chains, and Null Subjects Interpretation in Mandarin Chinese
 
Marco Casentini
University of Verona
 
The present analysis builds upon and extends proposals from recent research regarding the interpretation of null subjects (NSs) in consistent and partial NS languages. These proposals suggest that the interpretation of a NS depends on its connection to a specific type of Topic, notably the Aboutness-Shift Topic (A-Topic), which initiates a Topic chain (cf. Frascarelli 2007). The investigation seeks to determine: (i) whether NSs in Chinese are interpreted within a topical chain headed by an A-Topic, and (ii) if different types of Topics occupy distinct positions in the left periphery of sentences and exhibit specific prosodic features, despite the tonal nature of Chinese. This work will present an analysis demonstrating the necessity of distinguishing between Aboutness-Shift, Contrastive, and Given Topics in Chinese, based on a prosodic and contextual examination of 852 tokens obtained from an oral production experiment specifically designed for this study, in addition to data from the analysis of two unscripted interviews. The collected data will also be analyzed to establish the existence of a Topic hierarchy in Chinese. Additionally, the data will demonstrate that even in a radical NS language like Mandarin Chinese, NSs rely on a linking relation with the A-Topic heading a Topic chain.

A Grammar of Sikuani
 
Francesc Queixalós
Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris
 
This is a new descriptive grammar of Sikuani, a language of the Guahibo family spoken in the mid Orinoco grasslands of Colombia and the jungle-covered ridges of Venezuela. The book, written in English, condenses down to one third a two-volume 950-page grammar published in French between 1998 and 2000. The analyses sometimes diverge from the previous version given that in the meantime the author's understanding of languages and linguistics has in someway changed - hopefully for better. Ten chapters cover the different topics in morphology, syntax and the discourse manipulation of both for the sake of communicative strategies. A final chapter deals with phonology and morphophonology.
 
Illustrative examples are generously supplied, with non abbreviated glosses as often as possible to ease the reader's processing. Follow a list of grammatical morphemes and glosses, a bibliography, as well as a 10-page traditional text translated and broadly segmented. On typology grounds, the language - polysynthetic to a high degree - is noteworthy for the productivity of its nominalising devices. It also shines a light on how a verb lexicon, along with morphology and clause syntax, can embody complex and refined spatial notions.

Study of an Abruzzese Language Variety
Uâʃtaréule
Documentation, Analysis and Relationship with Italian
 
Ray LaVerghetta
Howard Community College
 
This study presents a thorough grammatical description of one of the less well-known languages spoken on the Italian peninsula – Abruzzese, specifically the variety spoken in Vasto, in the province of Chieti, known as Uâʃtaréule among its native speakers. Included in the study is a detailed analysis of the variety’s syntax, which is the component of grammar that researchers have traditionally studied the least when examining the Latin- derived, non-Italian languages spoken on the peninsula. The study also provides a careful description of the variety’s sound system, its morphology, its extensive linguistic variation along multiple dimensions, and the significant language contact phenomena that have influenced its grammar as well as the grammar of the regional Italian spoken in the area. Finally, it explains in accessible terms for the local language community  the true character and value of its linguistic patrimony and suggests possible options for ensuring the viability of the variety going forward.

(Proto-)Indo-Iranian: historical phonology and basic lexicon
 
Simeon Polshin
Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology
 
Within the list of approx. 180 selected basic meanings such as ‘black’, ‘hand’, ‘rain’ etc, a lexical database of  approx. 45 Indo-Iranian languages, including such rarely accessed ones as Dardic and Nuristani, is prepared. By applying the methods of historical linguistics, this lexical database allows  answering the following questions.
  1. Internal classification of Indo-Iranian languages using quantitative methods. This includes the following topics. 1.1. New subgroup of Indo-Iranian languages of those called “outer” ones is detected. 1.2. It is shown that Dardic, Nuristani and “outer” languages form a separate sub-branch of Indo-Iranian more close to Indo-Aryan (in the strict sense) than to Iranian
  2. Areal relations between these three sub-branches of Indo-Iranian are studied using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Two major directions of areal influences are found. 2.1. Iranian influence on Dardic, possibly as a by-product of Islamization. 2.2. Early Indo-Aryan influence on Dardic-Nuristani-“outer” languages, possibly on their common ancestor.
  3. Historical phonology of Indo-Iranian languages is studied for the first time on its own right, not simply as an exponent of the assumed Proto-Indo-European one. Rows of regular phonemic correspondences between Indo-Iranian languages are identified and the phonemic values of proto-phonemes lying behind these rows are discussed, in particular the nature of Indo-Iranian aspirated stops, and the reflex of Indo-European palato-alveolar *k’.
  4. Within the above-mentioned list of basic meanings, Proto-Indo-Iranian basic lexicon is reconstructed in the form of approx. 400 proto-roots; only about 150 of them have reflexes both in Sanskrit and Avestan, which justify the need to go beyond the usual Sanskrit-Avestan comparisons. Etymological dictionaries of concrete Indo-Iranian languages such as Sanskrit, Ossetic, and Khotanese, are extensively used.

Information Structure and the Utterance Right Periphery in Mandarin
A systematic overview with reference to English and Italian
 
Carmen Lepadat
Roma Tre University
 
A significant body of literature has explored information structure, examining how speakers shape content to suit communicative needs, including participants’ mental states. The utterance right periphery is a critical point in this process, allowing speakers to (re)evaluate utterance appropriateness before reception. In Mandarin, a topic-prominent language, these elements are pivotal in organizing discourse and facilitating effective communication.
 
This volume extensively explores information structure, outlining the main categories, concepts and terminologies relevant to the expression of information structure, as well as the syntactic and prosodic strategies available for topic and focus encoding. Drawing chiefly upon functionalist models, an examination of Mandarin Chinese’s structures is provided with reference to Italian and English, highlighting their (a)symmetries. Furthermore, in addressing the multifunctionality and the faceted nature of the right periphery and right dislocations, the volume integrates syntactic, cognitive, and interpersonal perspectives to elucidate both language-specific and universal tendencies.
 
Overall, the study aims to disentangle and consolidate theories on information structure and the right periphery while offering valuable insights into Mandarin's linguistic nuances. Ultimately, it contributes to a deeper understanding of cross-linguistic variations and their implications for communication.

Lexique comparé français-ciluba-français des fournitures, équipements et matériels en usage au bureau
 
Kadima Batumona Mbatwamba
 
Ce lexique comme outil lexicographique, rassemble les terminologies de domaines se rapportant aux « fournitures, équipements et matériels de bureau » ou FEMB en abrégé. Ces FEMB sont, de par leur essence, des objets totalement étrangers aux cultures congolaises ainsi qu’à beaucoup d’autres du tiers monde, mais avec la mondialisation des échanges économiques qui, entre autres, favorise leur importation En République démocratique du Congo (RdC), où le français est officiellement la langue de l’administration, mais où en réalité les langues locales sont des plus utilisées au travail, il s’observe que ces technologies étrangères et s’utilisent tout en étant dénommées dans les langues de leurs concepteurs : français, anglais, russe, portugais, espagnol, etc. !
 
Le maniement de ces technologies d’importation occidentale n’est pas une chose facile pour autant que les terminologies se rapportant aux objets à dénommer sont laborieuses et ce, en même temps que les manuels destinés à l’utilisateur ne sont pas de consultation facile. Ce faisant, l’utilisateur rd-congolais qui maîtrise à peine le français et pas du tout l’anglais en vient à souhaiter de disposer d’un outil lui permettant la maîtrise des termes techniques.
 
Cet outil est ce lexique des FEMB dont l’élaboration est motivée par le souci d’adapter la langue cible (le ciluba, une des quatre langues nationales officielles de la RdC, les trois autres étant : le lingala, le kiswahili et le kikongo) à l’expression de la modernité.

A Dictionary of the Artificial Language Oz
 
Alan Libert
Newcastle University, Khazar University
 
Oz is an artificial auxiliary language created by Charles Milton Elam. In spite of its name, it was a serious project. It belongs to the a priori group of artificial languages, i.e. it did not take anything from natural languages, as Esperanto did. The only known work on the language is a book by Elam entitled The Case for an A Priori Language, published in 1932, and it is one of the more obscure artificial languages. This book did not include a dictionary or glossary, and so the present dictionary has been created. It includes almost all of the Oz words and morphemes occurring in Elam’s book; in some cases it has been difficult to be sure of the meaning of a item, or whether it is a root or a stem; such facts have been noted. Oz has elaborate systems of terms for colors, chemical elements, and family terms, in spite of the fact that most such terms will rarely be used. There is also a complex system of tenses. This dictionary will give a picture of a highly unusual artificial language.

Introducing Minimalism: A Parametric Variation
 
Mohammed Q. Shormani
Ibb University
 
Introducing Minimalism: A Parametric Variation introduces the currently advocated syntactic theory known as Minimalism. It gives the reader a concise and precise introduction to the substantial notions and concepts made use of by Chomsky in his biological approach to the study of language and how they help minimize the linguistic machinery apparatus needed to describe natural language. Chapter 1 presents a generative approach to language acquisition. Chapter 2 tackles syntax theorization since Chomsky’s Syntactic Structures 1957 to Minimalism. Chapter 3 addresses Structural Relations and Operations. Constituent Structure/Constituency is developed in Chapter 4, and Chapter 5 addresses Features and Agreement. Chapter 6 spells out Head and Phrasal Movement, and Wh-movement is addressed in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 examines Null Categories, and Chapter 9 is devoted to Projection Split, where VP, TP, DP, CP, etc. are split, and the syntactic justifications of splitting each. The book concludes with outlining Phase theory, the latest development in syntax inquiry.
 
Each Chapter discusses the minimalist assumptions of the syntactic phenomenon it addresses in several languages to characterize language parametrization among these languages, applying the minimalist machinery apparatus to derive, by means of phrase markers, the phrases, clauses and sentences exemplified. Each Chapter ends with a bunch of exercises, in which students have a good chance to exercise the knowledge acquired in the Chapter. Though the book is a coursebook, meant for (post)graduate students, it is also a valuable reference for syntax scholars, in general, and Arabic syntax scholars, in particular.

The Cochimian Languages
 
David Leedom Shaul
 
The Cochimian language family of central Baja California has been linked to the languages of the Yuman family. This contribution surveys the four Cochimian languages  --  Jesuit Cochimí, Gabb Cochimí, Robinia, and Nebé  --  in order to assess the family's phonological and morphological correspondences. The sound patterns of these languages are remarkably similar, with phonological divergence in some Nebé roots. Prefixes and suffixes (both derivational and inflectional) clearly reconstruct for Proto-Coshimian. Cognate rates among the four languages range from 30% to 34%.
 
Almost all Cochimian languages are ergative-absolutive in case marking, except Hervas Cochimí, a dialect of Jesuit Cochimí, which has nominative-accusative case marking like Yuman, and the Hervas case markers cognate with Yuman. Also, Hervas Cochimí has switch-reference, using the same markers as Yuman. Switch-reference is absent in other Cochimian languages for which we have data (non-Hervas Jesuit Cochimí, Nebé). The Nebé language is treated in a companion volume. Texts in the Cochimian languages are reproducted with complete analysis, with a comparative lexicon and index. Lastly, the Monqui language of the southern range of Cochimian is shown to be a varty of Nebé.
