Comparative Semantics of Yaeyaman Verbal Morphology

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This year's research achievements were (1) intensive fieldwork and data collection on three dialects of Yaeyaman, and (2) research that expands work on the honorific system of Yaeyaman to the description of and analysis of other languages, namely Korean, Javanese, and Hindi.I undertook major fieldwork in September 2022, focusing attention on Kohama, Hatoma, and Aragusuku. Aragusuku was previously unstudied in this project, and during fieldwork I was able to collect basic data from this highly endangered variety.I also published two papers this year on the semantics of honorific systems in Hindi and in Javanese. While the topic of these papers deviates from the original focus of this research project (the verbal system of Yaeyaman), the research represents an extension of this work.
