FIELDWORK ON THE BATANIC AND OTHER SURROUNDING LANGUAGES

在台湾和菲律宾之间的巴士岛和巴林塘海峡的小岛上，由于缺乏这些语言和其他周边语言的语言数据，巴坦语的语言地位一直存在问题。因此，该项目的目的是收集它们的可靠数据，这些数据是进行语言比较以揭示问题所必需的。项目的第一年(1985年)主要用于收集大约3,000个巴坦语和其他语言的词汇，第二年(1987年)主要用于收集语法信息。1987年出版了最基本的350个词汇和30个语法项目(巴坦尼语言选词清单)。今年将出版一本专著，其中包括四种巴坦语(雅米语、伊特巴亚特语、伊瓦坦语和巴布亚语)的基本句子集(以及吕宋岛北部的两种科迪勒语(伊巴纳格语和伊洛卡诺语)，以引出每种语言的基本句型和语法特征。

The linguistic position of the Batanic languages spoken on small islands in the Bashi and Balintang Channels between Taiwan and the Philippines has been problematic due to the paucity of the language data of these and other surrounding languages. The purpose of the project is thus to collect reliable data of them, which are necessary for the linguistic comparison to reveal the problem.The first year *1985) of the project was spent mainly for collecting about 3,000 lexical items of the Batanic and other languages, and the second year *1987) for grammatical information. The most basic 350 lexical items and 30 grammatical items were published in 1987 (LIST OF SELECTED WORDS OF BATANIC LANGUAGES). This year a monograph is going to be published, which includes a collection of basic sentences of the four Batanic languages (Yami, Itbayat, Ivatan, and Babuyan( and two Cordilleran languages form northern Luzon (Ibanag and Ilokano(, for eliciting basic sentence patterns and grammatical features of the individual languages.
