Description of the Grammar of the Sidaama Language, and Studies on Semantic and Morphosyntactic Issues involving this Language

本研究对埃塞俄比亚的一种库西亚语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。主要基于2009-2010学年、2010-2011学年和2011-2012学年在Sidaama专区进行为期一个月的实地考察期间收集的文本数据，我在修改我的博士论文时取得了很大的进步，特别是在语法描述方面。在此期间，我还撰写了论文，主要是用英语，并从类型学的角度就语义和形态句法问题发表了会议演讲。

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.
