Book Description
The Caucasus for its size can boast more languages than any other region on earth. Of the 40 or so native tongues Georgian is the most widely spoken (by up to 5 million, of whom 3 million are ethnic Georgians). With its own unique script, Georgian has been written since the 4th century and has a rich literature of all genres. Outside Georgia, however, it has remained virtually unknown and unstudied, its grammatical intricacies being discussed by a small but ever growing succession of foreign specialists. The present work represents the first Reference Grammar of this challenging language to appear in English and is the summation of 20 years of intensive study by its author.

On the Interaction of Syntax and Phonology in Georgian

Pages : 97
Book Description
This thesis is an investigation of the interaction of the phonological and syntactic components in Georgian. Presenting a summary and critical analysis of two studies of the interaction of syntax (word order) and intonation in the speech of native Georgian speakers, the findings of these studies are compared with the observations made in the Swans Study -- an experimental analysis of freely-generated speech that examines the reading of a fictional story by a Georgian-speaking informant. The Swans Study compares the intonation patters of experimentally constructed and natural (freely generated) speech, confirming the results of previous studies on Georgian intonation, and offering questions for further exploration. To explain the lack of unique correspondence between case marking and syntactic position (grammatical function) in the story "Mzia and the Swans", an overview of the Georgian case marking system is provided. Finally, the Georgian lateral fronting rule is described in a discussion on the necessity of maximum specificity in rule representations. The lateral fronting rule also attests to the close relationship between the syntactic and phonological modules, applying only when the triggering segment is found inside the same word as the dark lateral, and not applying when the triggering segment and the dark lateral are separated by a word boundary.
