An introduction into Kambaata, a Cushitic language of Ethiopia
This workshop is an exploration of the grammar of Kambaata (Cushitic)through the analysis of a dialogue (recorded in February 2016). After abrief overview of important phonological features (phonemic vowel andconsonant length, gemination, glottalised sonorants), I will first definethe word classes of Kambaata. I will then highlight selected,typologically and areally interesting features in morphology and syntax,for instance, the elaborate case system, the complex demonstrative system,directive verb forms (imperative, jussive, preventive,benedictive/maledictive), categorial hybrids (negative participles, agentadjectives and verbal nouns) that combine properties of two word classes,and subordination strategies in relative, adverbial and complementclauses. At the end, I give a summary of what makes Kambaata a typical (ornot so typical) language of the Ethiopian Linguistic Area.If you are interested in morphology, Kambaata is your language!

he syntax of oral narrative: Lessons from Wan (Mande)
While traditional descriptions are based in large on elicited data,naturally occurring discourse is often more complex and versatile comparedto what such descriptions suggest. This is especially problematic in thecase of syntactic phenomena that are difficult to study at the clausallevel; for example, information-structure-related phenomena or the choiceof pronouns and deictic markers normally depend on the organization oflarge chunks of discourse and cannot be studied without reference tospontaneous data. In this session we will look at the diversity of meansused by Wan speakers to construct a coherent narrative, focussing onsyntactic phenomena that are rarely mentioned in traditional grammars. Wewill see that the picture emerging from the study of spontaneous discourseis more interesting than and sometimes different from the one we obtainwhen we study the same language through elicitation. We will be looking atan archival recording of elderly speakers of Wan made in 1970; thetraditional narrative style represented in the recording is no longercurrent among the younger generations of speakers.

Denis COSTAOUEC (U. Paris Descartes, SeDyL)

Aperçus de la syntaxe de l’ixcatèque (Mexique)
L’ixcatèque est une langue de la famille otomangue, appartenant augroupe popolocan comme le popoloca, le chocho et le mazatèque. La langueest fortement menacée de disparition car parlée par moins d’une dizainede personnes aujourd’hui, dans le seul village de Santa María Ixcatlán(État d’Oaxaca). Après avoir présenté rapidement la phonologie de lalangue, on donnera un aperçu de sa syntaxe par l’étude d’un texteproduit dans le cadre du projet de documentation financé par l’ELDP(MDP0214, 2010-2013, Costaouec et Swanton).
