About the Project

Project term: April, 2024–March, 2027

This project forms advanced study from the former research project "Information Structure and the Grammar of Knowledge in Turkic Languages: Interface of Phonology, Morphosyntax, and Semantics," which investigated intra-sentential correlations across phonology, morphosyntax, and semantics. We will draw on novel sentences and discourse created by the multiple participants the subject of our research to refine and create a bottom-up generalized grammar of Eurasian languages regarding the following points: (1) grammatical phenomena taking place at an inter-sentential level and (2) grammatical phenomena concerning interactions among participants.
