The general topic is the semantic use of space in grammatical constructions. Often, pointing is analyzed in signed languages as simple morphemes or even as non-linguistic gesture. An approach to pointing as a symbolically complex construction will be presented and exemplified with data from signed languages. Another grammatical construction unique to signed languages, placing, will be described and discussed, and two types of placing constructions will be demonstrated. Finally, the application of pointing and placing to discourse will be examined with special attention to tracking referents and the use of these grammatical constructions in the unique, spatial form of verb agreement in signed languages.</p> </li> </ul> </div> </section> <section> <h2>2019 1st Project Conference Case Marking and Information Structure in Ryukyuan Languages</h2> <div class="eventinfo"> <dl> <dt>Date</dt> <dd>6/16/2019 (Sunday) 9:30-16:00</dd> <dt>Place</dt> <dd>National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics (Hall 2nd floor)</dd> <dt>Language</dt> <dd>Japanese</dd> <dt>Contents</dt> <dd>The topic of this year is Case Marking and Information Structure and the first conference of the year focuses on Ryukyuan languages.</dd> <dt>Contact</dt> <dd>h-oshima [at] ninjal.ac.jp (replace [at] with ＠)</dd> </dl> </div> <div class="note"> <p>No participation fee, no reservation required</p> </div> <div class="program"> <h3>Program</h3> <ul> <li> <time>9:30-10:00</time> <h4>Registration</h4> </li> <li> <time>10:00-10:40</time> <h4>Use of focus markers in the Funaoki dialect of Southern Ryukyuan Yaeyaman</h4> <h5>Yuko Urabe (Kyushu University)</h5> </li> <li> <time>10:40-11:20</time> <h4>Specificity and nominal case marking in Yaeyaman dialects</h4> <h5>Natsuko Nakagawa (NINJAL)</h5> </li> <li> <time>11:20-11:30 </time> <h4>Break</h4> </li> <li> <time>11:30-12:10</time> <h4>Case marking in Tsuken Dialect</h4> <h5>Satomi Matayoshi (Okayama University)</h5> </li> <li> <time>12:10-13:20</time> <h4>Lunch break</h4> </li> <li> <time>13:20-14:00</time> <h4>Information Structure in the Iheya dialect of Northern Ryukyuan Okinawan</h4> <h5>Carlino Salvatore (NINJAL/Hitotsubashi University)</h5> </li> <li> <time>14:00-14:40</time> <h4>Case and Focus particle clusters in Yoron dialect</h4> <h5>Nana Toyama (University of the Ryukyus)</h5> </li> <li> <time>14:40-14:50</time> <h4>Break</h4> </li> <li> <time>14:50-15:30</time> <h4>Case markers in Northern Ryukyuan Amami dialects with a special focus on Tatsugo Ura dialect</h4> <h5>Hiromi Shigeno (Hiroshima University of Economics)</h5> </li> <li> <time>15:30-15:50</time> <h4>Discussion</h4> </li> <li> <time>15:50-16:00</time> <h4>Closing remarks</h4> </li> </ul> </div> </section> <!--/content--></div> </article> </main> <footer class="footer"> <div class="logo"> <h1><a href="https://www.ninjal.ac.jp/english/" target="_blank">National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics</a></h1> <address>10-2 Midori-cho Tachikawa Tokyo 190-8561<br>E-mail:kcelik@ninjal.ac.jp</address> </div> <small>Copyright © 2022 National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics.</small> </footer> <div class="pagetop"><a href="#wrap"><span></span></a></div> <!--/wrap--> </div> <div class="drawer-overlay"></div> <script src="/asset/js/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="/asset/js/common.js"></script> </body> </html>
