A descriptive and morphosyntatic study on Kinnauri

金那乌里语是藏缅语族中分布在藏缅地区最西部的语言之一，金那乌里语在藏缅语中的归属一直不明确。20世纪世纪初出版的《印度语言学调查》中就有对金瑙里语的描述，但关于金瑙里语的研究资料和数量都远远不够。虽然最近出现了一些论文，但Kinnauri的实地工作仍然很重要。本研究的目的是在实地工作的基础上描述Kinnauri语言。在资助期间的前两年，我描述了Kinnauri语言的格标记的使用情况。格标记系统的描述将有助于对形态句法现象的分析。至于格标记系统本身，有趣的是，与格名词在某些情况下用于直接宾语。虽然现在还不清楚与格在哪种情况下使用，但它似乎与名词的特殊性有关。我一直对金瑙里语的动词形态感兴趣，例如，主语和宾语的人称后缀。因此，笔者对这一时期的动词形态进行了专门的考察。本文指出Kinnauri语的人称后缀与指示语有关，也就是说，Kinnauri语中的言语行为参与者是被放在一起的。但是Kinnauri语的动词形态非常复杂，有必要收集更多的数据。例如，动词后缀-s用于反身和相互意义，我在这次科学研究补助金的报告中介绍了这个后缀的用法。但在报告中，后缀才刚刚引入，分析是一个待收集更多数据后才能解决的问题。至于名词形态学，随着收集资料的增多，待解决的主题也越来越多。

Kinnauri is one of the Tibeto-Burman languages in the westmost part of the Tibeto-Burman area, and it has not clear where Kinnauri belongs in Tibeto-Burman. Linguistic Survey of India, which was published at the beginning of the 20th century, includes the description of Kinnauri, but the amount of data and number of studies on Kinnauri are far away from enough. Though recently some papers have appeared, the field work on Kinnauri is significant yet.The purpose of this study is to describe and the Kinnauri language based on filed work.During the first two years of the period of the grant, I described the usage of the case markers of Kinnauri. The descrption of the case marking system will be helpful for the analysis of the morphosyntactic phenomena. As for the case marking system itself, it is interesting that the dative noun is used for the direct object in some cases. Though it is not now clear enough in which case the dative case is used, it seems to have something to do with the specificity of the nom.I have been interested in the verb morphology in Kinnauri, for example, the person suffixes for subject and object. Therefore, I surveyed specially on the verb morphology during the second part of the period. I pointed out that the person suffixes of Kinnauri are related to the deixis, in other words, that the speech act participants are put together in Kinnauri.The verb morphology of Kinnauri, however, is very complex, and it is necessary that much more data be collected. For example, the verb suffix -s is used for the reflexive and reciprocal meanings, and I introduced the usage of this suffix in the report of this grant-in-aid for scientific research. In the report, however, the suffix is just introduced, and the analysis is a problem to be solved after collecting much more data. As for the noun morphology, too, as collected data have increased, themes to be solved have been getting more and more.
