This grammar presents the essential features of the Pazar dialect of Laz,
also known as Atinan. Laz is a Caucasian language mainly spoken in Turkey.
It belongs to the subgroup called the South-Caucasian branch, along with
Megrelian, Georgian and Svan. Laz is an endangered language. The number
of speakers is estimated to range between 50,000 and 500,000.
Most of the data for this grammatical sketch were collected from a native
speaker of Pazar Laz, during a course on linguistic field methods at Bo?aziçi
University in Spring 2010, taught by Balk?z Öztürk and Markus A.
Pöchtrager. The grammar was jointly written by the students and the faculty
members who attended this course. Additional material comes from three
different research projects conducted by the faculty members (Asl? Göksel,
Balk?z Öztürk and Markus A. Pöchtrager) funded by the Bo?aziçi University
Scientific Research Fund. The present text discusses the phonology,
morphology and syntax of Pazar Laz in great detail, supported by roughly 600
examples, and closes with a fully glossed text which illustrates many of the
topics covered in the main text. It will be of interest to a wide variety of
scholars, from experts on Caucasian languages to theoretical linguists.
