Number in the world’s languages. A comparative handbook
Michael Daniel present a collection of 23 contributions spanning over 900 pages, offering a broad and detailed account of the formal and semantic complexity of number across a diverse sample of the world's languages.In the introductory chapter, Number in the World's Languages: Configuring the Variation Space ( 1), the editors summarize past and recent advances in the typological literature on number marking and acknowledge the challenging complex…
Phasal polarity in Suansu
This contribution provides a descriptive account of the phasal polarity domain (encompassing the concepts not yet , already , still , and no longer ) in Suansu, using a corpus of naturalistic and semi-spontaneous data. It aims at filling the descriptive gap of this category in Tibeto-Burman and frames the properties of Suansu phasal polarity system within a cross-linguistic framework. Findings reveal that Suansu expresses these concepts through v…
A field report on Kongai language from Manipur, India
This contribution introduces Kongai, a hitherto unreported Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Manipur, North-East India. This field report contains introductory sociolinguistic notes and preliminary information on Kongai phonological properties, such as syllable structure, rhymes, and prefixes. Additional linguistic data include the pronominal paradigm, comparative lexical materials, and a 100-items Swadesh wordlist
Some preliminary notes on Challow, a Tibeto-Burman language from Manipur, India
This contribution introduces Challow, a previously unreported and undescribed Tibeto-Burman language spoken in the Ukhrul district of Manipur, North-East India. It includes preliminary sociolinguistic, phonological, and lexical information, compared with data from other languages of the region. The study also offers a 100-items Swadesh wordlist of Challow lexical entries. At first glance, Challow reveals interesting properties, such as the presen…
Suansu language from northeastern India
This contribution introduces Suansu, an endangered Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Manipur, northeastern India. Suansu is virtually undescribed in the linguistic literature, and no previous attestations are known to date. This field report provides a first sketch of Suansu sociolinguistic profile, phonology and phonotactics, as well as basic information on Suansu nominal and verbal morphology. A preliminary comparative look at the languages spok…
Grambank reveals the importance of genealogical constraints on linguistic diversity and highlights the impact of language loss
While global patterns of human genetic diversity are increasingly well characterized, the diversity of human languages remains less systematically described. Here we outline the Grambank database. With over 400,000 data points and 2,400 languages, Grambank is the largest comparative grammatical database available. The comprehensiveness of Grambank allows us to quantify the relative effects of genealogical inheritance and geographic proximity on t…
Indo-Aryan – a house divided? Evidence for the east–west Indo-Aryan divide and its significance for the study of northern South Asia
In this study, we investigate the possible presence of an east–west divide in Indo-Aryan languages suggested in previous literature (Peterson, John. 2017a. Fitting the pieces together – towards a linguistic prehistory of eastern-central South Asia (and beyond). Journal of South Asian Languages and Linguistics 4(2). 211–257.), with the further hypothesis that this divide may be linked to the influence of the Munda languages, spoken in the eastern …
