| Research Abstract |
● We conducted the study of minority languages spoken in India and mainland Southeast Asia listed below:
Dravidian Toda and Badaga in South India, Kurux, Malto and Gadaba in North India, etc.
Austroasiatic Khasi in Northeast India, Mundari languages in North India, Kuy in Northeast Thailand, etc.
Tibeto-Burman Lhaovo and Lacid in Northern Myanmar etc.
● We set three main subjects of research:
(A) phonological, morphological, lexical and grammatical description of languages We did research on lexical systems and grammatical structures of the languages listed above, based on the lexical and grammatical questionnaires accumulated and examined so far. The grammatical phenomena studied in the project contain the verbal paradigms of Toda, Kurux and Malto; noun-phrase structures of Kuy and Lhaovo; serial verb construction of Kuy; case system of Lhaovo; grammaticalization of Lhaovo etc. We also did research on sound systems of such languages as Toda, Gadaba, Khasi etc.
(B) description of linguo-cultural layers We collected cultural vocabularies, and dialectal vocabularies/usages. We also collected folk tales, oral literatures natural speeches, as well as sound sources of traditional songs and music.
(C) interaction of a minority language and its neighbouring language(s) We tried to elucidate aspects of the contact of a minority language and official language(s) of the country/state it is spoken, through researches of the conditions of language use and borrowing of words/usages.
● As for languages in India, we did research on the subjects above not only individually, but also in cooperation with researchers in Central Institute of Indian Languages, Government of India.
