I spent three weeks there in 2013, which gave me the chance to </div><div>interact extensively with both the students and faculty -- I was really </div><div>impressed by the entire program and I expect great things from their </div><div>work. All students are fluent speakers of the language they study and, </div><div>as a part of their studies, they use their fluency to collect </div><div>substantial corpora of the languages with which they are working. As a </div><div>result, all their descriptive and theoretical conclusions are informed </div><div>by extensive knowledge of discourse patterns. If you are interested in </div><div>knowing more about the work produced there, I encourage you to get in </div><div>touch with any of the faculty: Roberto Zavala, Gilles Polian, and Eladio </div><div>Mateo Toledo.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Spike</div><div><br></div><div>On 10/10/15 8:34 PM, Tasaku Tsunoda wrote:</div><blockquote id="MAC_OUTLOOK_ATTRIBUTION_BLOCKQUOTE" style="BORDER-LEFT: #b5c4df 5 solid; PADDING:0 0 0 5; MARGIN:0 0 0 5;"><div> Dear Professor Everett,</div><div><br></div><div> Thank you very much for your information.</div><div> It is really appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div> Best wishes,</div><div><br></div><div> Tasaku Tsunoda</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> From: "Everett, Daniel" <<a href="mailto:DEVERETT@bentley.edu">DEVERETT@bentley.edu</a> </div><div> <<a href="mailto:DEVERETT@bentley.edu>">mailto:DEVERETT@bentley.edu></a>></div><div> Date: 2015年10月10日土曜日 20:39</div><div> To: 角田 太作 <<a href="mailto:tsunoda@ninjal.ac.jp">tsunoda@ninjal.ac.jp</a> <<a href="mailto:tsunoda@ninjal.ac.jp>">mailto:tsunoda@ninjal.ac.jp></a>></div><div> Cc: "<a href="mailto:Lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org">Lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org</a> </div><div> <<a href="mailto:Lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org>">mailto:Lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org></a>" </div><div> <<a href="mailto:Lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org">Lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org</a> </div><div> <<a href="mailto:Lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org>">mailto:Lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org></a>>, 角田 太作 </div><div> <<a href="mailto:tasakutsunoda@nifty.com">tasakutsunoda@nifty.com</a> <<a href="mailto:tasakutsunoda@nifty.com>">mailto:tasakutsunoda@nifty.com></a>></div><div> Subject: Re: [Lingtyp] Studies of discourse in ergative languages</div><div><br></div><div> Here is one article, by Caleb Everett:</div><div><br></div><div> <a href="http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/jbp/sl/2009/00000033/00000001/art00001?crawler=true">http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/jbp/sl/2009/00000033/00000001/art00001?crawler=true</a></div><div><br></div><div> DLE</div><div> Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br></div><div> On Oct 10, 2015, at 06:04, Tasaku Tsunoda <<a href="mailto:tsunoda@ninjal.ac.jp">tsunoda@ninjal.ac.jp</a> </div><div> <<a href="mailto:tsunoda@ninjal.ac.jp>">mailto:tsunoda@ninjal.ac.jp></a>> wrote:</div><div><br></div><blockquote id="MAC_OUTLOOK_ATTRIBUTION_BLOCKQUOTE" style="BORDER-LEFT: #b5c4df 5 solid; PADDING:0 0 0 5; MARGIN:0 0 0 5;"><div> Dear Colleagues,</div><div><br></div><div> Would anyone please advise me of studies of discourse in ergative </div><div> languages?</div><div><br></div><div> In particular, I would appreciate information on studies of </div><div> discourse in languages that have syntactic ergativity.</div><div><br></div><div> Thanking you in advance,</div><div><br></div><div> Tasaku Tsunoda</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> _______________________________________________</div><div> Lingtyp mailing list</div><div> <a href="mailto:Lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org">Lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org</a> </div><div> <<a href="mailto:Lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org">mailto:Lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org</a>></div><div> <a href="http://listserv.linguistlist.org/mailman/listinfo/lingtyp">http://listserv.linguistlist.org/mailman/listinfo/lingtyp</a></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> _______________________________________________</div><div> Lingtyp mailing list</div><div> <a href="mailto:Lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org">Lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org</a></div><div> <a href="http://listserv.linguistlist.org/mailman/listinfo/lingtyp">http://listserv.linguistlist.org/mailman/listinfo/lingtyp</a></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></span></body></html>
