Outline of Research at the Start

本研究では、死語である西夏語を、同系統のチベット・ビルマ語派に属する現代語の、西ギャロン系言語と比較・検討することにより解明する。Mathieu Beaudouinの専門とする西ギャロン系言語、特にホルパ語系との比較対照により、西夏語の系統分類を行う。未解明の、あるいは先行研究に修訂の余地のある、西夏語文法も記述する。それによって、包括的な西夏語文法の記述を公刊する。

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

I gave in October a talk at the ICSTLL57 in Bangkok together with Sami Honkasalo, on the classification of Tangut; I was invited in the Academia Sinica (Taipei) by Jonathan Evans to give two talks on the advances of my PhD about Tangut phonology and grammar.
I prepared another talk which took place at the Japanese Tibeto-Burman Association (2024.4) about irrealis, a topic on which I am currently writing a theoretical and typological study that may be important.
I have a new accepted article at the Bulletin of Oriental and African Studies, and another submitted at the Cahiers de linguistique Asie Orientale on proto-Horpa initials. With the corrections of my PhD finally done, I will be able to accelerate the pace.

Current Status of Research Progress
Current Status of Research Progress

2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.

Reason

The research is progressing rather smoothly, with five studies about to be submitted.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

Despite the load of administrative work, the research is progressing rather smoothly, with five studies about to be submitted: two on the phonology of Tangut; two about its grammar; one finally about manuscripts.
There is a big study on irrealis I am working one (about 300 hundred references, that I am daily reviewing).
I had to finish the revision of my 800-page dissertation; the four talks I gave also demanded preparation, not mentioning the presentations I submitted (6, one accepted for the moment). The month to come will be important and I expect to submit 5-7 article before I go on the field.
