本研究对埃塞俄比亚库希特语Sidaama的语法进行了描述，并对涉及该语言的理论问题进行了调查。我在2009-2010、2010-2011和2011-2012学年期间，在西达马地区进行了为期一个月的实地考察，主要基于这些考察所收集的文本资料，我在博士学位的修订方面取得了很大的进展。论文，特别是在语法描述。在此期间，我还写论文，主要是在英语，并从类型学的角度对语义和形态句法问题的会议报告。

This study conducted both a description of the grammar of Sidaama, a Cushitic language of Ethiopia, and investigations of theoretical issues involving this language. Based primarily on the text data that I collected during my fieldwork in the Sidaama Zone for about a month during each of the academic years 2009-2010, 2010-2011, and 2011-2012, I made great progress in revising my Ph. D. dissertation, especially in the grammatical descriptions. During this grant period, I also wrote papers, principally in English, and gave conference presentations on semantic and morpho-syntactic issues from a typological perspective.
