Topics in the grammar of Kalkoti

Hultman, David January 2023 (has links)
This thesis presents a study of the phonological and morphosyntactic characteristics of Kalkoti, an understudied Indo-Aryan language of northern Pakistan. Kalkoti belongs to the Shina group of Indo-Aryan languages, but shows heavy influence from the Kohistani language Gawri, including the development of a complex tone system. The data used for the study were mostly collected in Pakistan in 2006 and 2015 as part of other projects, but a small amount of new data was collected as part of this study. Some notable results concern the behavior of the tone system as well as the heavily reduced nominal and verbal morphology. The ergative and genitive cases of nouns have become formally identical, and perfective verbs have by and large lost agreement, both of which set Kalkoti apart from its Shina relatives as well as from Gawri. / Denna uppsats presenterar en studie av fonologiska och morfosyntaktiska drag i kalkoti, ett understuderat indoariskt språk från norra Pakistan. Kalkoti tillhör shina-gruppen inom de indoariska språken, men uppvisar stor påverkan från kohistanispråket gawri. Bland annat har kalkoti utvecklat ett komplext tonsystem likt gawris. Det mesta av datan som använts för studien samlades in i Pakistan år 2006 och 2015 som del av andra projekt, men en liten mängd ny data har samlats in som del av denna studie. Några nämnvärda resultat behandlar tonsystemets beteende, och den kraftigt reducerade substantiv- och verbmorfologin. Ergativ och genitiv-kasus har sammanfallit för substantiv, och de flesta perfektiva verb har förlorat kongruensböjning. Båda dessa fenomen särskiljer kalkoti såväl från närbesläktade shinaspråk som från gawri.
