Funded Activity Summary

A typology of adverbial subordination and clause linkage in Tibeto-Burman languages. This project identifies and analyses the typological features of adverbial subordination and clause linkage in Tibeto-Burman languages and will establish the first typology of adverbial subordination in this underdocumented language family. A central component of the project involves linguistic fieldwork on poorly understood languages spoken in north-east India. Expected outcomes include a substantial typological monograph on adverbial subordination, plus grammatical descriptions that will pave the way for new research on the neglected Tibeto-Burman languages of Nagaland. This study will make a significant contribution to our understanding of the universal characteristics of clause linkage underpinning the organisation of human language.
