<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Hi David. I was thinking more about what descriptive linguists do rather than what typologists do, although the two are quite symbiotic. The design space of language that canonical
typology works within is about ‘theoretical spaces of possibilities’. I guess I’m thinking about what this might look like if we moved away from theoretical spaces that derive from notional ideas of grammar derived from the classical (Western) grammatical
tradition, but rather are built from the bottom up on the basis of what people talk about when they talk. There are various approaches to grammar trying to reconceptualise what grammar looks like outside of our familiar architectures borne from the intellectual
traditions that most of us in the European language-speaking world were raised in (Randy LaPolla comes to mind). Technology just gets better and better for us in this respect, making it easier to work with ordinary conversation (which is the home of most language
use), and I’m aware of empirical corpus based approaches to language description which enable better generalisations over grammar, founded on large numbers of recordings of ordinary talk.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">However the descriptive data that feeds into typological claims are based on data sets of variable quality, which I think obscures things like, for example, the importance of transitive
clauses with two nominal arguments in the grand scheme of things. There’s no quick fix here, I think.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I realise this takes us a long way from the original point, which was about using violent sentences in grammars. But focusing on what people talk the most about (which may vary),
without feeling constrained to find the most transitive construction possible, might be a good start.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Great discussion topic! I’m intrigued by the focus on finding the best examples of transitive constructions, usually with two nominal arguments. These are hard to find ‘in the wild’,
as clauses in everyday talk tends to involve intransitive (or lesser transitive) constructions with at least one zero or pronominal argument (DuBois’ preferred argument structure). To what purpose should we be trying to find the extreme ends of what is possible
grammatically, if this is not something that speakers themselves appear to be concerned with in their daily uses of language (which is where grammaticalization takes place)?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

According to Hopper and Thompson (1980), one of the factors of transitivity is the affectedness of the patient.<br>
Hugging or carrying someone does not affect them as much as hitting does.<br>
Also “hug” is not so basic a word as “hit” is, which is in the Swadesh List or the Leipzig-Jakarta List.<br>
Of course, hitting someone is a bad thing to do. But I don’t think linguists should avoid certain sentences because they depict something morally bad.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">“</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt">One of the problems with publishing some of the sentences made up by linguists is that they become instantiations of culture and may perpetuate
negative stereotypes about often already marginalised people. For example, grammars are full of sen- tences exemplifying transitivity using verbs that denote violence. ‘Hit’ is a classic transitive verb, but so is ‘hug’ or ‘carry’. When you construct sentences
for elicita- tion, avoid topics that refer to violence, sex, alcohol, drugs (including smoking), child abuse or neglect, as these may upset people down the track. Also bear in mind that descendants of the speakers may read the grammar in years to come, or
may be an audience member in a presentation using data you collected. Imagine that you are trying to re-construct your language and the only verb in the corpus is ‘hit’!</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span lang="EN-CA">My name is Al Harvey, I am of Saibai Island descent and am currently work- ing on a project to preserve, document and protect the Top Western Torres Strait Island dialect of Kalaw Kawaw Ya (KKY).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:36.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt"><span lang="EN-CA">Today KKY, like many other Australian Indigenous languages, is endan- gered. The loss of languages is more than just the loss of spoken word. It has always been explained to me that languages
are a reflection of a peo- ple’s soul and way of living in the world. Speakers and descendants of a language have a role to play in the preservation and maintenance of that language but so too do people who work with those languages, including linguists. It’s
important that linguists are cognisant of the role they play in acting as a facilitator in the preservation of languages. Linguists also need to be aware that language data gathered is presented in a way that reflects the good faith in which it was given.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:36.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt"><span lang="EN-CA">I was at a linguistics workshop recently where the presenters offered sen- tences from an Aboriginal language. One of the sentences presented in the targeted language translated into English
as ‘The man hit the woman’. For the purpose of the exercise it seemed to me to be an unnecessary display of a negative stereotype in a forum of predominately non-Indigenous linguists.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:36.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt"><span lang="EN-CA">Thinking of language data beyond something to be scientifically analysed and being cognisant that the language you’re working with comes from the soul of a people would surely go some way to
avoiding such unnecessary representations.”</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Subject: [Lingtyp] Reference for violence (hit, kill) in articles in<br>
linguistics needed<br>
Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:7a23c27d-4cc4-e57b-37c6-ac5570a6d144@glottotopia.de">7a23c27d-4cc4-e57b-37c6-ac5570a6d144@glottotopia.de</a>><br>

<br>
Dear all,<br>
I have occasionally been part in discussions where the frequent use of<br>
violent concepts such as 'hit' or 'kill' in linguistics is mentioned and<br>
sometimes criticized.<br>
<br>
I believe there is some research article providing empirical evidence<br>
for linguistic articles being unnecessarily "violent", but I am unable<br>
to locate it. Could the list members help me?<br>
<br>
Best wishes<br>
Sebastian<br>
<br>
PS: I am aware that 'hit' and 'kill' have a number of semantic<br>
properties which make them very suitable for a number of research questions.<br>
<br>
