9221845 Trigo Abkhaz, a Northwest Caucasian language spoken in Turkey and the Georgians S.S.R. is typologically anomalous in that it exhibits an extraordinarily complex consonantal inventory. Morphologically, it is an ergative language in which virtually the entire syntactic structure of the clause is capitulated in the verbal complex. It contains several grammatical subsystems that interact with each other in ways that are relevant to theories of sound patterning (morpho-phonology) and sound realization (phonetics). The grammar of Abkhaz has been well described, but descriptive and theoretical work on the above topics has been superficial and of limited access. Moreover, present demographics and political conditions in Georgia and Turkey pose a significant threat to the language of the Abkhaz. The Principal Investigator will work with her consultant of the last two years and with two additional speakers to transcribe, analyze, gloss, and translate new and existing data. In addition, the PI will record and analyze the acoustic properties of the various sounds of the language. The PI will also investigate specific linguistic hypotheses about the grammar of Abkhaz based on the analyzed corpus of data. This will culminate in a volume describing the sound system and morpho-phonology of Abkhaz. ***

9221845 Trigo Abkhazs，一种西北高加索语言，在土耳其和格鲁吉亚S.S.R.使用。在类型学上是异常的，因为它展示了一个非常复杂的辅音库存。从形态学上看，它是一种作格语言，在这种语言中，小句的整个句法结构实际上都在动词复合体中投降。它包含几个语法子系统，这些子系统以与声音模式（形态音系学）和声音实现（语音学）理论相关的方式相互作用。阿布哈兹语的语法已经得到很好的描述，但关于上述专题的描述性和理论性工作一直很肤浅，而且获得的机会有限。此外，格鲁吉亚和土耳其目前的人口和政治状况对阿布哈兹的语言构成重大威胁。首席研究员将与她过去两年的顾问和另外两名发言人合作，转录，分析，注释和翻译新的和现有的数据。此外，PI将记录和分析语言的各种声音的声学特性。PI还将根据分析的数据库调查关于阿布哈兹语语法的具体语言假设。这将最终形成一卷描述阿布哈兹的声音系统和形态音韵学的书。***
