Descriptive Study on Shinekhen Buryat, one of the endangered Mongoliclanguages.

这项研究项目旨在描述申尼罕·布里亚特(俄罗斯布里亚特移民在中国北部使用的一种蒙古语)的语音和语法，并对其进行语言记录。通过这项为期三年的项目，出版了《新布里亚》的语料和语法草图，并阐明了以下三点：(1)《新布里亚》中的人称所有格助词主要充当所有格标记(另一方面，现代蒙古语中的人称所有格助词失去了所有格标记功能)，这些助词可能是不服从的标记。(2)上述分词中的一些分词与其他典型的分词相比，具有更多的名词特征和更少的动词特征，因此应归类为名词性分词。(3)跨语言方面，分词被定义为动词sto形容词的屈折转折。这一定义似乎适用于Shinekhen Buryat分词，但分词的句法特征不同于形容词。当分词用作状语从句的谓词时，它总是与一些重叠式助词一起出现，这些助词不与修饰动词的形容词一起出现。

This research project aims to describe the phonology and grammar of Shinekhen Buryat (a Mongolic languages spoken by Buryat immigrants from Russia in northern China), as well as to make a language documentation of it. Through this three-year project, language materials and a grammatical sketch of Shinekhen Buryat were published and three points were clarified as follows:(1) Personal possessive particles function mainly as possessive markers in Shinekhen Buryat (on the other hand, personal possessive particles in Modern Mongolian lose theirfunction as possessive markers), and these particles may function as the markers of insubordination.(2) Some of the aforementioned participles should be classified as nominals (deverbal nominals), since they have more noun-like and less verb-like features than other “typical” participles.(3) Cross-linguistically, participles are defined as the inflectional transposition from verb sto adjectives. This definition seems applicable to Shinekhen Buryat participles ; however, the syntactic features of participles are different from those of adjectives. When a participle is used as the predicate of an adverbial clause, it always appears with some enclitical particles, which do not appear with adjectives that modify verbs.
