ILCAA Joint Research Project

Descriptive Studies of Indonesian Languages; Their Variety and Similarities (jrp000168)

About the Project

Project term: April, 2010–March, 2013

Summary of the project: This project aims at the development of descriptive studies on Indonesian Languages, and to conduct the following two activities.

I. To clarify the grammatical diversity and similarity among Indonesian Languages, by gathering data and knowledge on individual languages presented by each researcher.

The main topic of the project is “grammatical voice,” on which there will be typological and historical discussions. Grammatical voice is related to many other grammatical topics such as “indication of information structure” and “tense/aspect/ mood”; so looking into the topic will lead to a deeper understanding of a greater part of the grammar of the languages of this area.

In addition to the main topic, a sub-topic, which will with be presented by the participants, will be dealt with.

II. To conduct a digital archiving of linguistic data, on which the linguistic research at I above will be based. This activity is conducted, in collaboration with the “Documentation and Archiving of Language Data Project,” within the “Linguistic Dynamics Science Project” at ILCAA.
