The Interaction of Grammar and Discourse in Northern Pomo Conversation and Monologue

摘要对自然主义语篇中语法成分的研究扩展了我们对语法运作的理解。此外，它还揭示了语篇体裁和文化习俗是如何通过说话者对语法资源的使用而部分构建的。北方波莫语是北方加州的一种濒临消亡的美洲印第安语，它的语法表现出几个语法子系统（如流体S '主语格标记、借代代词、所谓的转换指称），这些语法子系统以语法和语篇理论感兴趣的方式与语篇相互作用。语法已被广泛描述，但这些和其他主题的描述性和理论性工作一直受到扩展话语的一个非常小的语料库的可用性。现在，我们有机会从最后两个流利、智力活跃的北方波莫语使用者那里收集大量的会话和传统叙事数据。首席研究员将收集对话数据，并与她过去十年的顾问合作，将转录，分析，注释和翻译新的和现有的对话和独白数据。这将最终在大量的文本，与语法和词汇的支持材料。PI还将根据所分析的连接话语语料库调查关于北方Pomo语法的具体语言学假设。

ABSTRACT Investigation of grammatical elements functioning within naturalistic discourse expands our understanding of the workings of grammar. Moreover, it reveals how discourse genres and cultural practices are partially constructed through speakers' use of grammatical resources. The grammar of Northern Pomo, a dying American Indian language of Northern California, displays several grammatical subsystems (e.g. fluid-S' subject case marking, logophoric pronouns, so-called switch reference) which interact with discourse in ways that are of interest to theories of grammar and discourse. The grammar has been extensively described, but descriptive and theoretical work on these and other topics has been limited by the availability of a very small corpus of extended discourse. Now an opportunity has arisen to collect a large corpus of conversational and traditional narrative data from two of the last fluent and intellectually active Northern Pomo speakers. The Principal Investigator will collect conversational data, and working with her consultant of the last decade, will transcribe, analyze, gloss, and translate new and existing conversational and monologue data. This will culminate in a volume of texts, with grammatical and lexical supporting material. The PI will also investigate specific linguistic hypotheses about the grammar of Northern Pomo based on the analyzed corpus of connected discourse.
