20 декабря в 13:00 в рамках иранистического семинара ИЯз РАН и НИУ ВШЭ состоится доклад Якоба Халфманна ？Spatial Orientation in the Kat？ Language (Nuristani)？.

       Аннотация

       Complex systems of spatial orientation are a characteristic areal feature of the languages of lower Chitral and Nuristan (Heeg？rd & Liljegren 2018: 155). Within this region, the most intricate systems have been found in languages of the Nuristani group. Detailed studies are now available on the spatial systems of Nuristani Kalasha (Degener 1998: 95-102) and Prasun (Buddruss & Degener 2017: 449-481). A new analysis of the spatial system of the Kat？ language, the largest Nuristani language by number of speakers, based on data gathered over a period of five years, both via original fieldwork and by re-examination of archival materials, has recently been published in Halfmann (2024), expanding on – and at times diverging from – the earlier analyses of Grjunberg (1980: 265-281) and Strand (1997).

       This talk first gives a general introduction to the Kat？ language, covering genealogy, geography, dialectology, and phonology, and subsequently offers a synthesis of the structure of the Kat？ spatial system, focusing on its semantic and morphological characteristics and its culturally embedded usage.
