The planned research project addresses one of the most underrepresented fields in Tibetan Studies and particularly in Tibetan linguistics, namely the grammar of the oldest documented Tibetan language and one of the oldest documented Tibeto-Burman languages in general, the so-called Old Tibetan (7th - 10th century). The proposed research project is deemed to be the first step in filling this gap in the documentation of written Tibetan languages. The primary goal of the research project is to provide the first thorough grammatical and lexicological description of an Old Tibetan text, i.e. the Old Tibetan Annals I (OTA-I; PT 1288 & ITJ 750). The project “Old Tibetan Annals: A Comprehensive Text Grammar. Part II” builds upon the first project. Its main objective is to elaborate on elements of the OT grammar (concerning, in particular, syntax and discourse) that require a new thorough examination in view of the proposed reconstruction of the verb morphology and semantics.As a secondary objective of the proposed research the results of the lexicological analyses of the vocabulary of the OTA-I & II are planned to be published as an open access online dictionary. In addition, a morphosyntactic annotation of the text of the OTA-I, as well as a new translation of the OTA-I & II (Or.8212/187) are to be included.The research project is based on a combination of various methodological approaches, mainly from philology, typological studies, as well as historical linguistics. The philological analysis will concentrate on the very text of the OTA-I, whereas for the linguistic examination a text corpus of OT documents available to date shall additionally be made use of. It is hoped that the project creates a foundation on which deepened historical linguistic analyses of Tibetan but also other Tibeto-Burman languages could be based in the future. Its results are considered of particular importance for the study of the later phases of language development, especially for dialectology. The planned text grammar will likewise enhance our understanding of grammaticalisation processes and lexical changes that occurred between Old Tibetan and the modern languages.

计划中的研究项目涉及藏学研究中代表性最不足的领域之一，特别是藏语语言学，即最古老的有文献记载的藏语和一般最古老的藏缅语之一的语法，即所谓的古藏语（7-10世纪）。拟议的研究项目被认为是填补书面藏语文献空白的第一步。该研究项目的主要目标是对古藏文文本（即《古藏文编年史 I》（OTA-I；PT 1288 和 ITJ 750））提供第一个全面的语法和词汇学描述。 “古藏文编年史：综合文本语法。第二部分”项目建立在第一个项目的基础上。其主要目标是详细阐述 OT 语法元素（特别是语法和语篇），考虑到动词形态和语义的拟议重建，需要进行新的彻底检查。作为拟议研究的次要目标，OTA-I 和 II 词汇的词汇学分析结果计划作为开放获取在线词典出版。此外，还包括 OTA-I 文本的词法注释，以及 OTA-I & II (Or.8212/187) 的新译本。该研究项目基于多种方法论的结合，主要来自语言学、类型学研究以及历史语言学。语言学分析将集中于 OTA-I 的文本，而对于语言学检查，应另外使用迄今为止可用的 OT 文档文本语料库。希望该项目能够为将来加深对藏语以及其他藏缅语的历史语言分析奠定基础。其结果被认为对于语言发展后期的研究特别重要，尤其是方言学。计划中的文本语法同样将增强我们对古藏语和现代语言之间发生的语法化过程和词汇变化的理解。
