Michael Barrie - ENGG235/5235 언어조사 및 실험연구 방법론

Much important information can be found on the syllabus.

Glossing Linguistics Examples: Here is an example of a glossed Tamang sentence. For all work you must gloss all phrases and sentences as follows. (Single words don't need to be glossed like this, though.) For more information, see the Leipzig Glossing Rules.

sud͡ʒan-da	d͡ʒaman	pʰalpʰul	d͡ʒa	mu-la?
Sujan-DAT	all	fruit	like	COP-NPST
"Does Sujan like all fruit?" [Tamang, Sino-Tibetan, class notes, 2021]

Here is a Korean example: (Note that the 한굴 form is not normally present. I included it here for convenience.)

민수가	사과를	먹었다
Minswu-ka	sakwa-lul	mek-ess-ta
Minsoo-NOM	apple-ACC	eat-PST-DECL
"Minsoo ate an apple." [Korean, Koreanic, Moonhyun Sung, pc]
