Descriptive and Theoretical Studies in Selayarese Syntax The aim of this project is to collect data on the syntax of Selayarese, an Austronesian language from Selayar Island, Indonesia, and to consider the data in the wider comparative context of a theory of Universal Grammar. The primary topics to be investigated are: the effects of verbal morphology on syntactic structure, word order and agreement, wh-questions, relative clauses and other nominal structure, further aspects of sentential complementation, and the distribution of the "peripatetic" (Friberg 1992) absolutive marker. The project will make available new information on the syntax of a little known language, and should lead to a greater understanding of the organization of several modules of Universal Grammar and the ways in which they can be parameterized to partially define the grammars of individual languages.

塞拉亚语的描述性和理论性研究 这个项目的目的是收集有关Selayarese（印度尼西亚Selayar岛的一种南岛语）句法的数据，并在普遍语法理论的更广泛的比较背景下考虑这些数据。 主要研究内容包括：动词形态对句法结构、语序和一致性、疑问句、关系分句和其他名词性结构的影响，动词性补语的其他方面，以及“游走”（Friberg 1992）绝对标记的分布。该项目将提供有关鲜为人知的语言语法的新信息，并应有助于更好地了解通用语法的几个模块的组织以及参数化它们以部分定义各个语言语法的方式。
