Karen Sgaw Morphology
Expressing grammatical relations in Karen Sgaw
 
Anne van Schie
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
 
The aim of this study is to answer the research question “what is the nature of the Karen Sgaw morphology?”. Karen Sgaw is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken by around 2 million people in the border regions of Burma and Thailand. The language is fairly undescribed and the available sources contradict each other on the topic of morphosyntax. The current study provides a literature overview of the Karen Sgaw morphology, as well as a field work study of the morphosyntax. Data is collected by recording the speech of a native speaker of Karen Sgaw. Analysis of the data shows that Karen Sgaw appears to be a language that heavily relies on combining lexical roots to express grammatical relations. The main morphological process is compounding, of which the occurrent mechanisms of reduplication and serialization may be subtypes. Some elements have grammaticalized into different stages to serve an almost inflectional or derivational function. The most striking finding is what seems to be noun serialization, which is still barely documented as a linguistic phenomenon.

Qashqai Turkic
A Comprehensive Corpus-based Grammar
 
Sohrab Dolatkhah
 
Qashqai, locally called Torki-ye Qashqâyi 'Qashqai Turkic', is a language spoken in Iran by the Qashqai community who are mostly descendants of Turkic-speaking nomads immigrated to the south of Iran through centuries. They have been settled in rural and urban zones since decades. A small fraction of their population still practices the nomadic way of life and breeds livestock. Qashqai Turkic: A Comprehensive Corpus-based Grammar is a descriptive grammar. It is basically the amelioration and adaptation of the PhD dissertation of the author which was defended in December 2012 at the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris. The book consists of an introduction, a grammatical description, a corpus of texts, and a glossary. The introduction provides general information on the Qashqai community and an account of the state of the art of the Qashqai language.
 
The grammar, composed of thirteen chapters, follows a traditional layout; it starts with the topics of phonology, continues with word classes and main topics of morphology, then it deals with the main chapters of the syntax. A final chapter briefly discusses the discourse structure. The corpus, selected from a large body of data, comprises various types of Qashqai oral literature. It also includes interviews that represent the spoken Qashqai of everyday life. The transcribed texts are grammatically annotated and translated into English.

Yukaghir morphology in a historical and comparative perspective
 
Irina Nikolaeva
SOAS, University of London
 
This book describes the morphological system of modern Yukaghir in a historical perspective, and proposes the first ever systematic reconstruction of the main aspects of Proto‑Yukaghir inflectional morphology and the historical changes it went through. The reconstruction is put into syntactic context, and based on the evidence for earlier linguistic states and general typological plausibility.
 
Yukaghir is shown to be strongly aligned with the grammatical profile of the Uralic and Altaic languages. In addition, the book discusses potential cognates for a number of Yukaghir grammatical morphemes and constructions, primarily from Uralic, evaluates some previous hypotheses in this respect, and proposes a number of new interpretations, while abstaining from general conclusions regarding genetic relatedness. Morphological borrowings and contact-induced grammaticalization processes are also addressed.

The Korean Language in Kazakhstan
Problems and Perspectives
 
Nelly Pak
Kazakh Ablai Khan University of International Relations and World Languages
 
translated by Simon Barnes-Sadler
SOAS, University of London
 
This book examines the synchronic characteristics of an endangered, transplanted variety of Korean spoken in Central Asia – Yukchin Dialect (YD) – as well as the (socio)linguistic factors conditioning the development of both this variety and Kore Mar (KM) – a koine variety of Korean which formed in Central Asia with YD as one of its input varieties. It consists of three sections.
 
The first introduces the phenomena of language endangerment and contact to provide context for the extensive description of YD which appears in the second. This draws upon a rich collection of primary linguistic data elicited from native-speaker consultants, covering phonetics, phonology, morphology, and vocabulary.  Throughout, YD’s features are contrasted with those of Contemporary Standard South Korean. The third section examines the historical-linguistic and sociolinguistic processes which have led YD to its current disposition. It encompasses an examination of the role of YD in the formation of the KM and concludes by suggesting practical methods for revitalising Korean in Central Asia. 
 
This translation presents not only the unique perspective of a native-speaker researcher to Koreanists, but also introduces concepts from the broader Russophone tradition of sociolinguistics to an English-speaking audience.

The Language and Folklore of West Sakhalin Ainu
A Re-edition of Murasaki Kyōko’s ‘Karafuto Ainugo’ with translation and grammatical notes
 
E. Dal Corso 
Università Cà Foscari di Venezia
 
Originally published in Japanese in 1976 as Karafuto Ainugo – Shiryō (The Ainu language of Karafuto – Materials), the corpus of folktales and conversations that constitutes this volume is to date one of the few resources on the extinct Sakhalin (Karafuto) variety of Ainu (isolate). Together with the corpus of texts, the sketch grammar Karafuto Ainugo – Bunpō (The Ainu language of Karafuto – Grammar), that appeared in 1979, illustrates the language of Haru Fujiyama and Yuk Ōta, who were two of the last native speakers of Sakhalin Ainu born on the Sakhalin west coast. This publication presents a re-edition of both Karafuto Ainugo volumes for the first time in English. All folktales and conversations have been re-transliterated on the basis of the original audios and the texts come with interlinear linguistic glosses, notations, and English translation. The section of the book dedicated to grammatical notes has been fully restructured, with respect to the 1979 original, to discuss the phonology, morphosyntax, and semantics of West Sakhalin Ainu, with a specific focus on nominal and verbal morphosyntax. The book will be of interest to specialists in the Ainu language as well as to readers interested in endangered languages, folklore, morphosyntax, and language typology.

Kiranti-Kõits Grammar, Texts and Lexicon
 
Lal Rapacha
Research Institute for Kiratology (RIK), Kathmandu, Nepal
 
Kiranti-Kõits (किराँती-कोँइच also known as Sunwar in exonym) as one of the endangered languages of eastern Himalayan regions of Nepal is a linguistic member of Sino-Tibeto-Burman (now Myanmarian) mega-family. The language is spoken by about 27,000 people and most of them are adult speakers. Beyond the border, the language is also spoken by a few hundred of speakers out of 4,200 population in Sikkim, India, where it is taught in school level education. 
 
Although the language is still alive amongst family members in their respective community of Okhaldhunga, Ramechhap and Dolakha districts of Nepal, it has been struggling for its survival due to several sociolinguistic reasons like identity crisis of the people caused by epistemic violence regarding their exonym by Hindu scholars and society, lack of resources and thinning linguistic ecology.
 
The language has 24 consonants and 6 basic vowels (nasality vs. orality difference in all make 12 vowel) sounds in its phonology. Length and either tone or stress seem to be prominent in suprasegmental features. Its pronominal (N-V) agreement or verb morphology is agglutinative and inflecting; whereas verb roots and stems are highly monosyllabic. Its normal word order is SOV and a head final language typologically.

A Grammar of Koyee
 
Tara Mani Rai
Tribhuvan University
 
This grammar attempts to analyze the forms and functions of different grammatical categories in Koyee at both the sentence and discourse levels and compare them with other Tibeto-Burman languages from the typological perspective.
 
There are 12 oral vowels and 26 consonants in the Koyee language.  Gender is not grammatical in this language. It exhibits three categories of numbers: singular, dual, and plural. It is a morphologically split ergative language.  The nominals in Koyee are inflected for a number of cases which are marked in two ways: case clitics, and postpositions. Mostly the adjectives in Koyee are derived from verbs, nouns, and copulas. A number of adjectives in Koyee are borrowed from Nepali.  
 
Since Koyee is one of the agglutinating languages, number, person, tense and aspect in the Koyee are overtly realized in the affixation. There are various types of verbs like verbs 'to be', benefactive verb, reflexive, reciprocal verbs, existential, identical and motion verbs. Tense, aspect, modality and mood in Koyee tend to appear as the complex category. Tense, aspect and modality interact intensively in Koyee. There are eight types of basic clauses in the language.
 
Dr. Tara Mani Rai is an assistant professor at Central Department of Linguistics, Tribhuvan University, Nepal.

A Grammar of Lhowa
 
Dan Raj Regmi, Ambika Regmi & Jamyang Gelek Gurung
Tribhuvan University, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu University
 
This grammar, within the framework of adaptive approach, describes and analyzes phonological and grammatical codes in Lhowa, a southern Tibetic language, and compares them with those in Lhasa Tibetan and other Central Bodish languages from typological perspective. Lhowa, a tonal language, exhibits high-front and mid-front rounded vowels, murmured plosives and voiceless lateral.
 
Typologically, it is an agglutinating and consistently ergative language. Nouns are not marked for grammatical gender and number for agreement in the complex of the verbs. However, they are marked for three numbers (viz., singular vs. dual vs. plural) and twelve case-roles. Lhowa distinguishes personal pronouns in terms of social standing (viz., ordinary vs. honorific) and clusivity (viz., inclusive vs. exclusive) in the first person plural. Adjectives, numerals and quantifiers follow the nouns whereas demonstratives and possessive pronouns precede the nouns.
 
In Lhowa, tense markers interact with aspect, modality and evidentiality. Besides, Lhowa presents a verb agreement system which is closely related to conjuct-disjunct distinction. Especially, egophoricity (viz., marking distinctly for the first person) in the past tense is governed exclusively by volitionality. Egophoricity is also evident in essential and existential copulas. Like in Tibetan, tense is deduced from the general context of the text. Lhowa, a dependent marking and extremely nominalizing language, registers non-promotional type of passive. As a Tibetic language, Lhowa shares a number of phonological and grammatical coding devices with Lhasa Tibetan and languages belonging to gTsang cluster of Central Bodish. However, due to inter-language contact, Lhowa exhibits some contact induced changes in the phonological and grammatical coding devices which Lhasa Tibetan and other members of gTsang cluster  do not normally display.
 
The co-author, Dr. Dan Raj Regmi, is Professor and former Head of  Central Department of Linguistics, Tribhuvan University, Nepal
 
The co-author, Dr. Ambika Regmi, has worked as the senior researcher in Linguistic Survey of Nepal (LinSuN), Central Department of Linguistics, Tribhuvan University, Nepal.
 
The co-author, Mr. Jamyang Gelek Gurung, a native speaker of Lhowa, is a young and dedicated activist for the preservation, promotion and development of his mother tongue.

Advances in South Asian Linguistics
 
Ghanshyam Sharma & John J. Lowe (eds.)
INALCO, Paris; Oriental Institute, Oxford
 
South Asian linguistics is a growing and rapidly advancing field, where sophisticated linguistic analysis of well-studied languages sits alongside ongoing description and initial linguistic study of previously undescribed languages. The rich diversity of the South Asian linguistic area offers up a constant source of new linguistic data, including new challenges to existing theoretical linguistic analyses which have been developed on the basis of typologically very different European languages.  This volume consists of a select set of research papers on South Asian linguistics, several of which were presented at the 35th South Asian Languages Analysis in Paris, in October 2019.
 
These papers, written by leading scholars in South Asian linguistics, attest a diverse range of theoretical perspectives and analytical frameworks, while focusing on important issues in South Asian linguistics, showcasing the breadth of research currently being undertaken in the field. The contributions to the volume range from syntax, semantics and phonology to language description and areal typology, and cover a wide range of languages, from well-studied Indo-Aryan languages such as Hindi and Bangla, through the Dravidian language Tamil to the understudied Tibeto-Burman language Baram.
