项目摘要

This project is intended as a proof-of-concept study for corpus-based approaches to typology. We address the question of whether typological differences in the morphosyntax of individual languages are reflected in the organisation of spontaneous spoken discourse of those languages, with a special focus on so-called ergative languages. While claims of a co-dependence between grammar and discourse have regularly been made in the literature (Hopper 1983, Du Bois 2003, Durie 2003), the issue has never been systematically investigated on a more representative language sample. The project builds on an existing language archive architecture (Multi-CAST, Multilingual Corpus of Annotated Spoken Texts, integrated into LAC (Language Archive Cologne), and implements an expanded version of the syntactic annotation system GRAID (Grammatical Relations and Animacy in Discourse, Haig & Schnell 2014, to appear). The existing language sample will be extended by the inclusion of ergative languages of Australia (in collaboration with the Centre of Excellence for Dynamics of Language, Canberra and Melbourne), and from the Nakh-Daghestanian language family, and data from Phillippine-type languages (Brickell & Schnell, submitted). All corpora are subjected to a standardized annotation procedure, and the resulting data feed into quantitative cross-corpus analysis in order to identify significant statistical patterns in connected discourse (for example, distribution of referential expressions across syntactic functions, density of zero-anaphora, patterns of new-referent introduction, division of labour among pronouns and lexical expressions, impact of animacy on syntactic configurations). The resulting dataset, the first of its kind worldwide, aids the detection of possible correlations between the alignment of morphosyntax, and probabilistic patterning in the way connected spoken language is organized.

这个项目的目的是作为一个基于语料库的方法来类型学的概念验证研究。我们解决的问题，是否在个别语言的形态句法的类型学差异反映在这些语言的自发口语话语的组织，特别关注所谓的作格语言。虽然语法和语篇之间的相互依赖性在文献中经常被提出（Hopper 1983，Du Bois 2003，Durie 2003），但这个问题从未在更具代表性的语言样本上进行过系统的研究。该项目建立在现有的语言档案架构（Multi-CAST，注释口语文本的多语言语料库，集成到LAC（语言档案科隆），并实现了语法注释系统GRAID（语法关系和话语中的生命力，Haig & Schnell 2014，即将出现）的扩展版本。现有的语言样本将扩大，纳入澳大利亚的作格语言（与堪培拉和墨尔本的语言动力学卓越中心合作）、Nakh-Daghestanian语系和菲律宾类型语言的数据（Brickell和Schnell，已提交）。所有的语料库进行标准化的注释程序，并得到的数据输入到定量的跨语料库分析，以确定显着的统计模式，在连接的话语（例如，分配的指涉表达式跨句法功能，零回指的密度，模式的新所指的介绍，劳动之间的分工代词和词汇表达，句法配置的影响的生命）。由此产生的数据集是全球首个此类数据集，有助于检测形态句法对齐与连接口语组织方式中的概率模式之间可能的相关性。
