Using modern and historical texts, newspapers, and recordings from this Turkic language of Chinese Turkestan, this project creates the first comprehensive and diachronic annotated corpus (1895-2011) of a major Central Asian language. Its aim is to understand the typological development of complex verb constructions. Light verbs (sometimes termed "auxiliaries"), which are unusually plentiful in modern Uyghur, express semantic nuances such as speaker intention, irony, and agency. Graduate and undergraduate students will be mentored in multimedia corpus creation and text annotation and analysis. Work with native Uyghur speakers, together with quantitative and qualitative corpus work, will evaluate the origin and development of these complex verb constructions. A comparison of these analyses of Turkic languages with such constructions in Persian, Hindi, and Japanese will shed light on the universals of verb form and meaning.

该项目利用中国突厥斯坦突厥语的现代和历史文本、报纸和录音，创建了第一个中亚主要语言的全面和历时注释语料库（1895-2011）。其目的是了解复杂动词结构的类型发展。轻动词（有时称为“助动词”）在现代维吾尔语中异常丰富，表达语义上的细微差别，如说话者的意图，讽刺和代理。研究生和本科生将指导多媒体语料库的创建和文本注释和分析。与母语为维吾尔语的人合作，结合定量和定性的语料库工作，将评估这些复杂动词结构的起源和发展。将突厥语的这些分析与波斯语、印地语和日语中的此类结构进行比较，将有助于阐明动词形式和意义的普遍性。
