| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research attempts to clarify typological characterizations on demonstratives and nominalziation though describing Yup'ik Eskimo grammar. While English shows a dichotomous distinction in terms of demonstratives such as this vs. that, Yup'ik employs 30 demonstratives for that purpose; if one wants to use Yup'ik demonstratives appropriately, he/she has to know how the space is cognitively organized with 30 demonstratives. In other words, the analysis of Yup'ik Eskimo demonstratives provides us with an opportunity to learn about our potentiality on our spatial references, which we could not obtain through the use of the demonstratives observed in the dichotomous system most commonly employed. With this idea in mind, I wrote four papers and three international conference presentations including those at Association of Linguistic Typology.
