Joint ResearchResearch Resources15OverviewTraining and Capacity BuildingJoint Research Projectsdiscussions. 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 be presented by the participants, will be dealt with.II. To conduct a digital archiving of linguistic data, on which the linguistic research in I above will be based.This project is a part of the “Linguistic Dynamics Science Project” at ILCAA.Historical Study of Normative Glyphs of Chinese Characters (2nd stage)Project term: April, 2010 – March, 2013Coordinator: ISHIZUKA, Harumichi (Prof. Emer. Hokkaido University)This project aims to describe the historical shifts in the standards of the Chinese characters (or KANJI) glyphs. Sources of the research are taken from those materials (engraved, hand-written or printed documents) that gave the normative standards, or those that succeeded those norms of the glyphs, of China, as well as Sino-Japanese, Sino-Korean, and Sino-Vietnamese ones. The historical overview is given by the HNG (Hanzi normative glyphs) database (http://joao-roiz.jp/HNG/), which has been constructed and maintained by the project, and was awarded the 1st “Shirakawa Memorial Academic Award in Asian Script Cultures”.New Trends in the Studies on Qidan ScriptsProject term: April, 2010 – March, 2013Coordinator: MATSUKAWA, Takashi (Otani University)One of the unique ‘pseudo-Chinese scripts’, Qidan scripts were established during the Liao (Qidan) dynasty (916-1125). In Liao, the Mongolic language ‘Qidan’ was the ofcial language together with Chinese. The language was written in two different systems of scripts. They are called ‘Qidan large script’ and ‘Qidan small script’. Though it seems that the former is ideogram and the latter is phonetic letter, the scholars did not go into details. Since the materials for the synthetic study have been rare during the last centuries, decoding them has not been a priority till now.In recent years, however, new materials concerned with the scripts have been discovered in China and Mongolia and have aroused strong interest among scholars. Moreover, the information throughout the texts in the Qidan scripts is beginning to affect historical study on Liao. Some linguists have a passionate interest in the Qidan scripts and the language.Under these circumstances, this project analyses the system of Qidan scripts linguistically with the cooperation of researchers who specialize in Qidan scripts, pseudo-Chinese scripts, Mongolic languages, Altaic language, Chinese phonology and the history of Liao. After the last term, the project will release the products, lists, and data on Qidan scripts, texts and articles as results.A Study of Variability in Deictic ExpressionsProject term: April, 2010 – March, 2012Coordinator: HAYASI, Tooru (The University of Tokyo)Although deictic expressions, such as demonstratives, pronouns, person and tense markers, are basic elements of a language, it is difcult to precisely dene their usage. This is because their usage is closely related to the situation of utterance. In this project, we do not aim to dene the usage of deictic expressions. Instead, we will introduce, discuss and investigate a diversity of deictic expressions of Asian languages, including xed expressions with deictics. We expect to eventually have a collection of detailed descriptions of deictics of Asian languages. We also expect to devise new methods of investigating deictics.This project is a part of the “Linguistic Dynamics Science Project” at ILCAA.Typological Studies of Information Structures and Linguistic Forms in AfricaProject term: April, 2011 – March, 2014Coordinator: HIEDA, OsamuThe aims of the project are: 1) to study how languages express informational structures phonologically, morphologically or syntactically; 2) to demonstrate what typological diversity African languages show in the relationship between information structures and linguistic
