Unpublished, 2016. — 603 p. Kurtöp is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken by approximately 15,000 people in Northeastern Bhutan. This dictionary is very much still under construction and the contents found in it should be viewed as an outline to what the final product will look like.
University of Oregon, 2011. — xxxix + 729 p. Kurtöp is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken by approximately 15,000 people in Northeastern Bhutan. This dissertation is the first descriptive grammar of the language, based on extensive fieldwork and community-driven language documentation in Bhutan. When possible, analyses are presented in typological and historical/comparative...
Berkeley: University of California, 2015. — 76 p. — (Himalayan Linguistics Archive 6).
With an estimated 30,000 speakers, the Bumthang language is a major regional language of the kingdom of Bhutan. This synoptic grammar describes just the most obvious grammatical features in the four main dialects of the language, with an emphasis on phonology and morphology. A description of...
Brill, 2016. — 474 p. — (Languages of the Greater Hymalayan Region 5/18). A grammar of Kurtöp presents the phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics of Kurtöp, a Tibeto-Burman language of northeastern Bhutan. When possible, data are presented in a comparative light, lending insight into the development of phenomena such as tonogenesis and nominalizations.
Dzongkha Development Commission of the Royal Government of Buthan, 1995. — 62 p. Bhutan is a small landlocked country located in the South Asia region between China and India. The Kingdom is surrounded by stunning Himalayan mountains. Bhutan is a melting pot of diverse cultures and communities. Therefore, many languages are spoken within the tiny Himalayan Buddhist Kingdom....
Himalayan Linguistics. Vol. 19, Issue 3. — University of California, 2020. — 45 p. This report presents basic wordlists from seven closely related East Bodish languages from Bumthang, northern Trongsa and far eastern Wangdue Phodrang districts in Bhutan. These wordlists are analysed, with lexico-statistical comparison to other languages of the region (East Bodish, Central...
Article. — Journal of Buthan Studies. — 2014. — Volume 31. — p. 43-56 The Kurtöp language is an East Bodish language spoken in Kurtoe Gewog, Lhuntse District, Bhutan. In 1993, there were about 10,000 speakers of Kurtöp. Historically, Kurtöp and its speakers have had close contact with speakers of Bumthang, Nupbi and Kheng languages, nearby languages of central and eastern...
Article. — Language Documentation & Conservation. — 2021. — Volume 15. — p. 551-575 Classic typologies within prosody tend to treat ‘tone’ languages as being diametrically opposed to ‘stress’ languages. However, Hyman (2006) highlights several languages that can have both, including Seneca, Fasu, and Copala Trique. As language documentation advances and our acoustic...
Article. — JSAL. — 2011. — Volume 4. — №1. — p. 43-60 The linguistic encoding of information as being unexpected is referred to as the 'mirative'. Since DeLancey (1997) established mirativity as a cross-linguistic category, the awareness of its presence in languages of the world is growing. This is true also for the languages of South Asia, perhaps most commonly amongst the...
Article. — Tibetan Studies. — 1994. — Volume 2. — p. 545-557 Historical phonology of the Bumthang group of languages of Central Bhutan (Tibeto-Burman), with detailed analysis of their relation to Tibetan, and remarks on Tamang and Dakpa. Unlike Tibetan "dialects" and Dzongkha (the national language of Bhutan), Bumthang does not continue Old Tibetan; instead, with Tamang and...
Article. — 6th International Symposium on Tonal Aspects of Languages. — 2018. — p. 83-87 Previous work on tonogenesis in Kurtöp production (Hyslop 2009, Plane 2016) has addressed questions of propagation. They describe patterns whereby environments following more sonorous onsets appear to develop tone prior to less sonorous onsets. Additionally, the production study by Plane...
Australian Catholic University, 2017. — 98 p. In this thesis, I investigate the word class system in Bumthang, a Tibeto-Burman language from central Bhutan. Word classes form a fundamental part of basic linguistic analysis, as tasks like writing phrase structure rules or positing derivational affixes require assumptions about how words in a language are organised. Recent work...
The University of Sydney, 2016. — 162 p. The tonogenetic model (Haudricourt 1954; Matisoff 1970; Mazaudon 1977; Thurgood 2002) is well attested in the tonogenetic literature. The model predicts the pathways through which tone enters a language. As part of this mode, in onset position, voiceless consonants condition a high pitch and voiced consonants condition a low pitch. The...
Australian National University, 2017. — 128 p. This thesis investigates the synchronic and diachronic relationship of the verbal suffix -na to the copula na in Bumthang, a Tibeto-Burman language of central Bhutan. I discuss the formal and functional properties of each to demonstrate that the suffix -na originates in the structural reanalysis of the copula na. Previous research...
