Grammar of N|uu

N| uu是一种高度濒危的科伊桑语，在南非只有10名老年人使用。N的语言学研究|uu是非常重要的，因为所有其他南部科伊桑语，除了！Xoo，已经灭绝了。在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，克里斯托弗柯林斯教授将完成N的语法的初步版本。|UU.这本语法书将与三个来自N的口头传统的故事一起出版|uu发言人。纳米比亚大学的LeviNamaseb将在教授N| uu儿童如何读，写和说他们的语言。N的语法|UU将描述存在于极少数其他语言中的句法现象，这对那些有兴趣了解世界语言中句法结构范围的理论句法学家和类型学家来说是至关重要的。在更广泛的层面上，该项目试图将理论语言学的目标和方法与记录高度濒危语言的愿望相结合，如果可能的话，帮助振兴它们。

N|uu is a highly endangered Khoisan language spoken by only 10 elderly people in South Africa. The linguistic study of N|uu is extremely important because all other southern Khoisan languages, with the exception of !Xoo, have already died out. With NSF support, Prof. Christopher Collins will complete a preliminary version of the grammar of N|uu. The grammar will be published together with three stories from the oral tradition of the N|uu speakers. The grammar and three stories will be used by Levi Namaseb, of the University of Namibia, in teaching N|uu children how to read, write and speak their language. The grammar of N|uu will describe syntactic phenomena that exist in very few other languages, and which are of vital interest to theoretical syntacticians and typologists who are interested in understanding the range of syntactic structures found in the world's languages. On a broader level, this project attempts to integrate the goals and methods of theoretical linguistics with the desire to document highly endangered languages, and if possible, help to revitalize them.
