Abstract:

Thulung, a Kiranti language (Sino-Tibetan/Trans-Himalayan, Eastern Nepal), has a number of complex predicates, mostly used for the expression of emotions and moods, which are made up of a body part (including abstract notions, such as mind and energy) plus verb. An example from Thulung is given in (1):

(1)       gu-ka               a:ma                nʌ:       khu-irʉ

            3SG-ERG       1SG.POSS      mind    steal-3SG>3SG.PST

            ‘I was deceived by him.’ [lit. He stole my mind]

In the Mainland Southeast Asia linguistic area, these types of predicates are labeled psycho-collocations (Matisoff 1986; Vittrant 2013; Vittrant & Watkins 2019), and they constitute an important areal feature. Similarly constructed expressions form a significant part of the lexical repertoire of Kiranti languages, even though they have rarely been described for these languages (Bickel 1997 is a notable exception).
In this talk, I will describe the 35 psycho-collocations I have collected in Thulung, presenting the range of body parts; the subtypes of psycho-collocations; the morphosyntactic patterns exhibited, looking specifically at the coding of the body part and of the experiencer in these expressions.

Pour cette deuxième session dans la série carrière post-thèse, nous accueillons Leslie Lemarchand qui nous parlera de son parcours professionnel après sa thèse. Cet atelier est ouvert à tout le monde, y inclus d'autres membres du laboratoire ainsi que les étudiants en Sciences du langage.

Abstract:
In this presentation, I will show different types of complex verbal clauses in Swo. Complex verbal clauses are defined here as clauses that involve more than one verb but no syntactic marker (e.g. and) to link them together, describing one unique event. Besides a lexical verb, complex verbal clauses may include an auxiliary or a semi-/quasi-auxiliary, or the structure may consist of more than one lexical verb and (seem to) form a serial verb construction. We will have a look at all these structures in turn.

Comme il y a deux ans, nous prévoyons une rencontre entre les étudiants en master SDL et les doctorants du laboratoire. Le but de cette rencontre est de parler doctorat : les étudiants peuvent poser leurs questions concernant la préparation au concours, le déroulement d'un doctorat etc. Il y aura un goûter.
