A little known past tense marker of the northern Changthang dialects of Ladakh
This article describes the various usages of a little known past tense morpheme of the northern part of the Ladakhi Changthang: /-pak/, /-phak/, or {-puk} (< pa.-ḥdug). To some extent, the functions of this morpheme correspond to the so-called ‘evidentially neutral’ or ‘factual’ marker pa.red of Standard Spoken Tibetan. However, the morpheme in question cannot be described as being ‘evidentially’ or ‘epistemically’ neutral
Facts and attitudes
The evidential or egophoric systems of various modern Tibetic languages are described as containing a ‘factual’ copula and a complex ‘factual’ existential, in opposition to the egophoric copula yin and the egophoric existential linking verb yod, e.g., Central and East Tibetan red and yod.red. Other descriptive terms are ‘assertive’ or ‘statemental’. These two markers are also described as being ‘neutral’, falling thus outside the ‘evidential’ sys…
Beyond evidentiality, the case of Ladakhi inok & siblings [HL Archive 13]
The crosslinguistic concept of evidentiality, discriminating between direct and indirect knowledge, does not account for the Tibetic system, where the domain of direct is split up between external direct knowledge, based on immediate sense perception, and internal direct knowledge, based on acquaintance, control/ volition, responsibility, and/ or authority or engagement. With the so-called ‘factual’ auxiliary red , several Tibetic languages also …
Evidential-perceptual transfer by a blind speaker? Or
A typical trait of the modern Tibetic languages is that speakers obligatorily encode the knowledge base for their statements: whether they have intimate and/or authoritative knowledge of a situation, whether they have merely perceived a situation, whether they have merely inferred (or presumed etc.) a situation, whether they have second-hand knowledge, or even whether their knowledge is shared with the addressee or the larger community. In most o…
To be or not to be
In contrast to other Modern Tibetan auxiliaries, the linguistic history of the so-called ‘factual’ marker red cannot be traced. Two scholars have independently pointed to the occurrence of red in the 15th-century Mi.la.ras.paḥi rnam.thar . In all likelihood, this occurrence is the result of an editorial intervention. However, this text reveals an interesting distribution of five different verba dicendi , ingeniously used by the author of the text…

Contrast instead of comparison
I think that one reason we fail to notice, when we do field research, the fundamental differences between languages is because linguistic theory over the last 50 years-maybe even longer-has been primarily directed towards understanding how languages are alike, as opposed to how they are different
Himalayan Languages and Linguistics
Himalayan Languages and Linguistics gathers together nine outstanding and original contributions on the Tibeto-Burman and Indo-Aryan languages of this important and culturally diverse mountainous area. Filling a marked gap in our understanding of the languages of this underdocumented region, the collection offers a snapshot of the state of the field of Himalayan language research and linguistic comparison. Drawing on primary fieldwork in China, I…

Kenhat, The Dialects Of Upper Ladakh And Zanskar
Sogpho Tibetan is a Khams Tibetan variety spoken in Danba County in western Sichuan, China, a region that borders the Tibetan and rGyalrong speaking area and Han China. This chapter explores the phonological system and provides an analysis of its peculiar phonetic and lexical features. It gives illustrative examples for the phonemes listed, and discusses some phonetic properties, particularly the phonetic features of the tonemes. The chapter comp…
