| Summary: |
In LINGUIST List 9.1599 and 9.1644, I summarized the responses I had received concerning research into possible universals in morphosyntactic features (similar to the research that has been done on universals in phonetic features). Since the last summary, a few more responses have come in, which I summarize below. Thanks to Brian Ulicny (bulicny@lhs.com), Priscilla McCoy (pmccoy@socrates.berkeley.edu), and Joerg Keller (Joerg.Keller@sign-lang.uni-hamburg.de). - ---------------------------- For a more applied, less theoretical perspective... The EAGLES (Expert Advisory Group on Language Engineering Standards, an initiative of the European Commission (EC)... [has] tried to adopt a system of morphosyntactic features that would cover all of the European languages. The homepage for the project is: http://www.ilc.pi.cnr.it/EAGLES96/home.html Two documents of particular interest would be: Recommendations for the morphosyntactic annotation of corpora http://www.ilc.pi.cnr.it/EAGLES96/annotate/annotate.html ftp://ftp.ilc.pi.cnr.it/pub/eagles/corpora/annotate.ps.gz Synopsis and comparison of morphosyntactic phenomena encoded in lexicons and corpora. A common proposal and applications to european languages. http://www.ilc.pi.cnr.it/EAGLES96/morphsyn/morphsyn.html ftp://ftp.ilc.pi.cnr.it/pub/eagles/lexicons/morphsyn.ps.gz - ----------------------------------- Victor Friedman "Grammatical Categories of the Macedonian Indicative." Works on languages of the Caucasus: K. Tuite, D. Holisky, A. Harris, V. Friedman, H Aronson. - ------------------------------------- Work by Jackendoff on the mapping of spatial features into morphosyntax, and Joerg Keller's webpage at http://linguistlist.org/cgi-bin/dissfly.cgi?keller on this same topic. Joerg also suggested that work on sign languages might be important to establishing the universality of proposed features. Mike Maxwell Mike_Maxwell@sil.org Summer Institute of Linguistics |
