Urgent Linguistic Fieldwork of the North Pacific Rim

1.在夏季进行了大约2个月的语言实地研究。11月，两位研究者艾夫斯·戈达德和迈克尔·克劳斯被邀请到京都大学。在实地调查中，每个调查人员都研究他/她各自的语言（见下文第2至5节），补充过去两年中获得的信息，并获得有关该语言新方面的数据，以完成详细的描述性语法。戈达德和克劳斯在所有研究人员都参加的研讨会上做了演讲。预定于1998年4月出版的研究报告的出版计划与他们进行了协商，该报告是继1997年6月出版的第一卷之后（见下文11）。爱斯基摩-阿纽特语：首席研究员研究阿拉斯加尤皮克语的形态句法问题，Oshima研究阿留申语的形态，Nagai（研究合作者）研究西伯利亚尤皮克语的音韵学。首席研究员与以克劳斯为首的阿拉斯加大学阿拉斯加本土语言中心的研究人员进行了信息交流。印度语言：Hori， Watanabe（研究者），Sasama， Nakayama和Ichihashi（合作者）与首席研究者密切沟通，研究各自语言的形态学（和语法）。西伯利亚语言：远藤和Kazama（研究者）对Yukaghir和通古斯语的词法（和句法）进行了初步研究，Togus（合作者）在Kazama的指导下对楚克契语进行了初步研究。南岛语：崎山将楷语声调的起源解释为双音节语素的单音节化。

1.Linguistic field research was conducted about 2 months in the summer.Two investigators Ives Goddard and Michael Krauss were invited to Kyoto University in November.In the field each investigator worked on his/her respective language (given in 2 through 5 below), supplementing the information obtained in the last two years and obtaining data on new aspects of the 1anguage, in order to complete a detaild descriptive grammar.Goddard and Krauss gave 1ectures at the workshop where all the investigators attended. They were consulted in the publication planning of the research report to be scheduled in April, 1998, which is to follow the first volume published in June, 1997 (as given in 11 below).2.Eskimo-A1eut languages : The chief investigator worked on morphosyntactic problems of A1askan Yupik, Oshima on Aleut morphology, and Nagai (research collaborator) on Siberian Yupik phonology. The chief investigator did information exchange with researchers in University of Alaskas Alaska Native Language Center headed by Krauss.3.Indian languaes : Hori, Watanabe (investigators), Sasama, Nakayama, and Ichihashi (collaborators) worked on the morphology (and syntax) of their respective 1anguage, in close communication with the chief investigator.4.Siberian languages : Endo and Kazama (investigators) did a preliminary research on the morphology (and syntax) of Yukaghir and Tungusic, and Togus (collaborator) on Chukchee under the guidance of Kazama.5.Austronesian : Sakiyama explicated the origin of tone in Kai as monosyllabification of bisyllabic morphemes.
