Abstract:
This grammar provides a grammatical description of Palula, an Indo-Aryan
language of the Shina group.
The language is spoken by about 10,000 people in the Chitral district in
Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province. This is the first extensive
description of the formerly little-documented Palula language, and is one of
only a few in-depth studies available for languages in the extremely
multilingual Hindukush-Karakoram region. The grammar is based on original
fieldwork data, collected over the course of about ten years, commencing in
1998. It is primarily in the form of recorded, mainly narrative, texts, but
supplemented by targeted elicitation as well as notes of observed language
use. All fieldwork was conducted in close collaboration with the
Palula-speaking community, and a number of native speakers took active part in
the process of data gathering, annotation and data management. The main areas
covered are phonology, morphology and syntax, illustrated with a large number
of example items and utterances, but also a few selected lexical topics of
some prominence have received a more detailed treatment as part of the
morphosyntactic structure. Suggestions for further research that should be
undertaken are given throughout the grammar. The approach is theory-informed
rather than theory-driven, but an underlying functional-typological framework
is assumed. Diachronic development is taken into account, particularly in the
area of morphology, and comparisons with other languages and references to
areal phenomena are included insofar as they are motivated and available. The
description also provides a brief introduction to the speaker community and
their immediate environment.
