Title [sv]
Verbfrasanaforer i sydsamiska
Title [en]
South Saami Verb Phrase Anaphora
Abstract [sv]
Detta projekt avser att undersöka verbfrasanaforer (VPA) i sydsamiska, ett finskugriskt språk som talas i de centrala delarna Sverige och Norge. Modern sydsamiska har åtminstone två olika typer av of VPA: VP ellipis (VPE) (1a), och VP pronominaliseringar (VPP) (1b).(1) a Aanna maahta gitaarem tjoejehtidh jïh Åvla aaj maahta.

 Anna kan gitarr spela och Åvla också kan det göraI tal upplever de flesta talare en skarp kontrast mellan (1a) and (1b), såtillvida att de accepterar den förra, medan den senare upplevs onaturlig. I skrift föredrar emellertid en delmängd av dessa talare (1b) snarare än (1a). Vidare, andra talare föredrar (1b) överlag i samtliga kontexter. Projektet avser att förklara och redogöra för denna variation i VPA, genom att angripa problemet som en effekt av flerspråkighet i en arvsspråkskontext (Polinsky 2011, Benmamoun et al 2013, Alexiadou et al 2015).Följande forskningsfrågor är centrala för projektet:A. Vilka egenskaper har VPA i sydsamiska?B. Vilka är de teoretiska grundvalarna för sydsamiskans VPE, och hur belyser de ellipsis i allmänhet?C. Påverkar de skandinaviska språkens syntax sydsamiskans VPA? Om så är fallet, på vad sätt?D. Beter sig likartade konstruktioner uniformt i olika språk, eller uppvisar de signifikanta skillnader?
Abstract [en]
The proposed project aims at investigating Verb Phrase Anaphora (VPA) in South Saami, a Finno-Ugric language spoken in the central areas of Norway and Sweden. Modern South Saami has at least two kinds of VPA: VP ellipis (VPE) (1a), and VP pro-form (VPP) (1b).(1) a Aanna maahta gitaarem tjoejehtidh jïh Åvla aaj maahta.

 Anna can guitar play and Åvla too can it doIn spoken contexts most speakers perceive a sharp distinction between (1a) and (1b), accepting the former and rejecting the latter. But in written contexts, a subset of these speakers prefers (1b) over (1a). More confusingly, other speakers prefer (1b) over (1a) in both spoken and written contexts. The project aspires to elucidate these apparent inconsistencies in VPA, by approaching the issue as an effect of bilingualism in a heritage context (Polinsky 2011, Benmamoun et al 2013, Alexiadou et al 2015). The following research questions are central to the project:A. What are the distinctive properties of VPA in South Saami?B. What are the theoretical underpinnings of South Saami VPE, and what do they inform us about ellipsis in general?C. Does the syntax of the Scandinavian languages influence South Saami in the realm of VPA? If so, what are the effects?D. Do cognate constructions pattern uniformly across languages, or do they exhibit significant differences?
