研究開始時の研究の概要 |
The research aims to produce a syntactic survey of Saterland Frisian. Currently, very little has been written on the syntax and constructions found in Saterland Frisian. It will be useful to conduct a survey and also to work out what kind of variation exists among the community of speakers today.

研究実績の概要 |
This year I have been able to make meaningful contacts with Saterland Frisian speakers and researchers. I gave a presentation at the "Dai fon do Seelter" event in Ramsloh, Saterland on 24 June 2023. Here I was able to meet many Saterland Frisian speakers and researchers. After this event, things moved forward quickly and I made fieldwork trips in September and November 2023. Some of this work was also mentioned in the German press, and I was interviewed about it in a video that is online. Importantly, I started conducting the syntactic survey. The survey I use is an adaptation of one that was made to investigate Hessian dialects (SyHD) and consists of 110 questions and considers 29 grammatical features. It involves different types of questions, such evaluation of different sentence types, picture description, translations, fill in the blanks. I have completed the survey with two speakers (one from Struecklingen and one from Ramsloh). Also, I have completed about 50% of the survey with four other speakers. I will collect the remaining results in two further visits, one of which has just finished in April 2024. Finding speakers and then completing the survey with them has been the most important part of the project. I am now processing the results and will begin writing things up.

理由
Although this project was severely delayed due to the pandemic, which prevented fieldwork in Germany, since mid 2023 good progress has been made. I have been fortunate to meet with several people from Saterland who have spoken the Saterland Frisian language since childhood, and they have been extremely welcoming and helpful. I have made good progress with the survey, which is an adaptation of a survey that was used to identify syntactical features of Hessian dialects and a good range of grammatical features. Professor J. Fleischer was helpful in providing me with the survey question sheets, which I have translated into Saterland Frisian. I have made three fieldwork trips to date and have collected information from speakers from the three villages where the language is spoken. At the same time, I have built up good connections with other researchers of Saterland Frisian including the main coordinator and promotor of the language, Henk Wolf. Soon I will have enough data to write up the survey.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
In academic year 2024, I will have the survey data from all three villages thanks to the help and cooperation of the Saterland Frisian speakers. After surveying the results of the 110 survey questions, I will assess which grammatical features are transparent and which need further analysis due to a wider array of different responses. So it is likely that I retest a select smaller number of the questions with additional speakers to gain even more insights. Once the data has been gathered by about summer 2024, I expect to write up the results in full. I am also considering inviting some other researchers to be co-authors, as they may be able to contrast my results with other Frisian languages.
