Abstract:
This book is a synchronic description of the syntax of Sarikoli, an Eastern
Iranian and Pamir language spoken exclusively in China. Sarikoli speakers
primarily reside in Varshide, a mountainous county on the western border of
Xinjiang, China. The language is not used in any official domains and has no
literary sources.
This work is the first modern linguistic description of Sarikoli syntax in
English. The approach is theory-neutral, presenting and describing language
data with commonly-accepted linguistic terminology. It includes copious
linguistic examples transcribed in IPA accompanied by morpheme glosses and
free translations. The entire corpus of texts and all linguistic research were
gathered and conducted in the field by the researcher in cooperation with
native speakers of Sarikoli.
The introductory chapter provides an overview of the Sarikoli people and
language in their geographical, historical, and cultural context. The
typological profile, sociolinguistic situation, and previous research
conducted on the language are discussed, along with short summaries on
phonology, morphology, and verbs. The following chapters focus on different
topics in the syntax of Sarikoli: noun phrase, pronouns and demonstratives,
possession, comparison, adverbial modifiers, mood, clause structure, negation,
clause combinations, modality, and evidentiality and new information. The
concluding chapter introduces routine phrases and expressions, including
greetings and leavetakings, thanking, and typical or idiomatic speech common
in phatic exchanges and conversations. The appendices include transcripts of
oral texts covering a wide range of genre and topics, as well as an
orthography proposed by a native Sarikoli scholar.
