Anastasia Panova, PhD student at the Department of Linguistics, Stockholm University, gives a half-time seminar: On the way to a grammatical description of Gawarbati.
Abstact:
Gawarbati is an under-described Indo-Aryan language spoken in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border area. The aim of my PhD project is to describe the morphosyntax of Gawarbati on the basis of a spoken corpus.
In this talk, I will focus on the work that has already been done and the challenges that need to be solved in the future. Specifically, in the first part of the talk I will present the two chapters written so far, ”Word classes” and ”Simple clauses”.
In the second part of the talk, I will focus on selected topics in the Gawarbati grammar that I find interesting, though not always clear, and that are to be dealt with in the chapters not yet written. For example, I will discuss restrictions on case agreement in noun phrases, the dative marking of ”when”-clauses, and the interaction of information structure and word order.
The planned format of the thesis is a monograph.
