The project is implemented in the framework of the areaal typology of languages. The subject of the study is sentimental particles (parts related semantically to the entire sentence) in Eurasian languages (e.g. “juk” and “or”). The study aims to determine how the positions of sentencing particles in the sentence relate to their functions. It is assumed that positions partly determine functions. It is also assumed that the positions themselves are not random: sentencing particles appear either at the beginning of the sentence or after the first syntactic group (in Wackernagel position) or in the middle of the sentence after the verb or at the end of the sentence. Each position is characterised by one function or another. According to our hypothesis, particles in different positions (with matching functions) appear in Eurasia on an areal principle, i.e. neighbouring geographically, but not necessarily related, languages have similar types of sentimental particles. Moreover, it is assumed that the Eurasian continent is characterised by a continuum of particle types. This hypothesis should be confirmed and modified during the study if necessary. The main method of the survey is the analysis of a representative sample of Eurasian languages (about 70-80 languages). Language material will be obtained in the first turn from existing grammar and special studies. Supporting methods — analysis of language corpuses, direct consultation of informants. An academic tour is planned to take advantage of the library there. The scientific result of the research will be a broad theoretical summary of the Eurasian sentimental particle types and their areaal distribution on the continent. The results will be published in two articles in traptaute peer-reviewed magazines in English and in one article in Lithuanian, presented in one international conference on general linguistics outside Lithuania, one conference and one summer school in Lithuania. Activities to promote science are also planned. (English) | |||||||||||||||

Projektas įgyvendinamas arealinės kalbų tipologijos rėmuose. Tyrimo objektas yra sentencinės dalelytės (dalelytės, susijusios semantiškai su visu sakiniu) Eurazijos kalbose (pvz., liet. „juk“ ir „ar“). Tyrime siekiama nustatyti, kaip sentencinių dalelyčių pozicijos sakinyje yra susijusios su jų funkcijomis. Spėjama, kad pozicijos iš dalies lemia ir funkcijas. Taip pat spėjama, kad pačios pozicijos yra ne atsitiktinės: sentencinės dalelytės pasirodo arba sakinio pradžioje, arba po pirmos sintaktinės grupės (Wackernagelio pozicijoje), arba sakinio viduryje po veiksmažodžio, arba sakinio gale. Kiekvienai pozicijai yra būdingos vienos ar kitos funkcijos. Pagal mūsų hipotezę, dalelytės skirtingose pozicijose (su atitinkančiomis funkcijomis) pasirodo Eurazijoje arealiniu principu, t. y., gretimos geografiškai, bet nebūtinai giminingos kalbos turi panašius sentencinių dalelyčių tipus. Be to, spėjama, kad Eurazijos žemynui būdingas dalelyčių tipų kontinuumas. Ši hipotezė turi būti patvirtinta ir, jeigu reikės, modifikuota tyrimo metu. Pagrindinis tyrimo metodas – Eurazijos kalbų reprezentatyviosios imties (apie 70-80 kalbų) analizė. Kalbinė medžiaga bus gaunama pirmu ruožtu iš egzistuojančių gramatikų ir specialių tyrimų. Pagalbiniai metodai – kalbų tekstynų analizė, informantų tiesioginis konsultavimas. Planuojama akademinė išvyka į Jeną pasinaudoti ten esančia biblioteka. Tyrimo moksliniu rezultatu bus platus teorinis apibendrinimas dėl Eurazijos sentencinių dalelyčių tipų ir jų arealinio pasiskirstymo žemyne. Rezultatai bus publikuoti dviejuose straipsniuose traptautiniuose recenzuojamuose žurnaluose anglų kalba ir viename straipsnyje lietuvių kalba, pristatyti vienoje tarptautinėje bendrosios kalbotyros konferencijoje už Lietuvos ribų, vienoje konferencijoje ir vienoje vasaros mokykloje Lietuvoje. Taip pat planuojama mokslo populiarinimo veikla. (Lithuanian)
