Toward a typology of tonogenesis: Revising the model
The birth of tone, or tonogenesis, has been an area of research for over a century, yet we are still unable to predict how and when a language will acquire tone. This article compiles a typology by researching tonogenesis from 40 different languages across a range of families. Each tonogenetic event within these languages is coded for syntagmatic position, manner and laryngeal setting of the tonogenetic trigger. I further make a distinction betwe…
Grammaticalized sources of Kurtöp verbal morphology: On the development of mirativity versus egophoricity in the Himalayas
Kurtöp (Tibeto-Burman; Bhutan) has a rich set of finite verbal suffixes which encode evidentiality, mirativity, and egophoricity. This article examines the origins of these suffixes in a typological context, showing how many of them have developed via recent grammaticalizations. Synchronic processes of nominalization and clause-chaining have provided the ideal syntactic contexts for these grammaticalizations to take place. Many of the grammatical…

Waves Across the Himalayas: On the Typological Characteristics and History of the Bodic Subfamily of Tibeto‐Burman
The Bodic group of Tibeto‐Burman consists of close to 100 languages, fanned across the Himalayas, Tibet, and China. The existence of a ‘Bodic’ branch is somewhat contentious within Tibeto‐Burman, though scholars do tend to agree that Tibetan and its closest relatives belong within this branch. This article assumes that the Bodic languages discussed in this article may eventually prove to be genetically related, but at present, this has not been p…
Functional-Historical Approaches to Explanation: In honor of Scott DeLancey
Contributions from both well-known practitioners and new voices in the areas of language typology, historical linguistics, and function-based approaches to language description define this volume, as does its foci in two major geographical areas — southeast Asia and northwestern North America. All of the papers appeal, in one way or another, to functional-historical approaches to explanation. Behind this appeal lies an assumption that languages a…
A preliminary reconstruction of East Bodish
North East Indian Linguistics
North East India is one of the most linguistically diverse regions of the world, with over 100, and perhaps as many as 200, different languages spoken. This book aims to produce a volume reflective of both the linguistic diversity of the region as well as the high quality of current research on North East Indian Linguistics. The articles in this volume cover four of the language families represented in North East India: Tai-Kadai, Indo-Aryan, Tib…
North East Indian Linguistics
North East Indian Linguistics Volume 2 is the second in a series of selected papers presented at the International Conferences of the North East Indian Linguistics Society (NEILS), a forum for the study of the languages of North East India. The North East Indian languages are the richest and most diverse, yet also one of the least-well-known regions of the linguistics world.The book essentially discusses tonology and phonology in the Assam floodp…
