This project identifies and analyses the typological features of adverbial subordination and clause linkage in Tibeto-Burman languages and will establish the first typology of adverbial subordination in this underdocumented language family. A central component of the project involves linguistic fieldwork on poorly understood languages spoken in north-east India. Expected outcomes include a substantial typological monograph on adverbial subordination, plus grammatical descriptions that will pave the way for new research on the neglected Tibeto-Burman languages of Nagaland. This study will make a significant contribution to our understanding of the universal characteristics of clause linkage underpinning the organisation of human language.

本项目对藏缅语状语从属和小句连接的类型学特征进行了识别和分析，并将建立藏缅语状语从属的第一个类型学。 该项目的一个核心组成部分是对印度东北部所讲的人们不太了解的语言进行语言实地考察。 预期的成果包括一个实质性的类型学专着状语从属，加上语法描述，将铺平道路的新的研究被忽视的藏缅语的那加兰。 这项研究将为我们理解支撑人类语言组织的小句连接的普遍特征做出重大贡献。
