Abstract

Thulung Rai, an endangered Tibeto-Burman language of Eastern Nepal, has complex verbal morphology, with verb endings encoding agent and patient person and number in transitive scenarios. In addition to this, a large number of verbs alternate between several stems, and the stem selection criteria are initially elusive. Inspired by work by Boyd Michailovsky, who proposes morphophonological accounts for the verb stem alternation in related Dumi Rai, I propose an analysis of the Thulung verbal system and its verb stem alternation.

图隆莱语动词系统:动词词干交替的记述

图隆莱语(Thulung Rai)是尼泊尔东部一种濒危的藏缅语，具有复杂的动词形态，动词词尾在及物情景中编码agent和patient, person和number。除此之外，大量的动词在几个词干之间交替，词干选择标准最初是难以捉摸的。博伊德·米切洛夫斯基(Boyd Michailovsky)在相关的杜米语中提出了动词词干交替的形态学解释，受到他的工作的启发，我提出了对图隆语动词词干交替的分析。

期刊介绍： The Cahiers is an international linguistics journal whose mission is to publish new and original research on the analysis of languages of the Asian region, be they descriptive or theoretical. This clearly reflects the broad research domain of our laboratory : the Centre for Linguistic Research on East Asian Languages (CRLAO). The journal was created in 1977 by Viviane Alleton and Alain Peyraube and has been directed by three successive teams of editors, all professors based at the CRLAO in Paris. An Editorial Board, composed of scholars from around the world, assists in the reviewing process and in a consultative role.
