Nominator's project description
| Professor Golluscio is internationally well-known for her research on the documentation of endangered indigenous languages of Argentine (Mapuche/ Mapudungun) and other South American languages (in particular of the Gran Chaco area). Her descriptive and documentary work on these languages had an important impact on language theory - for instance regarding noun incorporation and ditransitive constructions. During her stay in Germany, she will focus on the expression of referentiality in these languages by exploiting the digital corpora and in cooperation with her hosts. |
