Description of languages from Europe, Asia and Oceania |
|
In Europe, our team work on several Romance languages (French, Francoprovençal, Occitan and Italian), one Slavic language (Polish) and one Ural language (Hungarian).
In Asia, our investigations cover Burmese (Burma), a Tungusic language of Siberia (evene), two Hmong Mien languages from North Vietnam (Black Hmong and Mopiu), Mandarin Chinese and Nepali (Indo-Aryan).
Finally, in Oceania, we conducted projects to describe two Australian languages (Dalabon and Barunga Kriol) and one Oceanian language (Iaai).
(See the Map of languages studied by members of the DTT axis .)
The study of some of these languages is the subject of collaborations with other research centers in France (eg LACITO ) and abroad (eg MPI from Nijmegen , MICA in Hanoi ) for international projects (eg Research Consortium EoSS ) and workshops / scientific days we regularly organize (eg Languages of Nepal 2014 , Balto-Slavic Languages 2014 ). |

Morphosyntax Workshop |
|
This workshop, organized by Françoise Rose and Minella Duzerol as part of the activities of the research team “Linguistic diversity and its sources”, is open to all members of the laboratory Dynamique Du Langage (researchers, professors, ITA, post-doc, doctoral students), as well as Master students, members of the Labex ASLAN and any other person interested. The goal is to open a space for presentations and discussions in the domain of morphosyntax, from a typological and functional perspective.
The organizing principle is to work on one on several common topic(s) throughout the year, which can cover a number of working sessions. Each topic is approached both from a typological angle (presentation of the topic, reading reports) and from a descriptive angle with data from particular languages (data from fieldwork, or from grammars). The sessions are informal, allowing for presentation of analyses at any stages, and the discussion are open so that everyone can benefit from suggestions or questions from the group.
The meetings take place every 2 to 3 weeks, with one or two presentations of 30 to 45 minutes each, followed by a discussion. Each topic can last for several sessions.
The topics for the academic year 2020-2021 are Alienability contrasts in grammar and lexicon (led by A. Van linden, University of Liège) and another topic to be defined.
