Dialectology and typology in Purepecha : a multi-layered perspective
Résumé
The aims of the talk are: - To contribute to dialectal research that integrates syntactic questions (Bisang 2004, Kortmann 2004, Nevalainen et al. 2006) - To propose a different methodology for studying the dialectology of Purepecha than the one adopted by other linguists (Friedrich 1971, Chávez 2004) - To explore the typological variety of two constructions in Purepecha: comparative construction of superiority and noun phrase with an indefinite article - To identify the spatial distribution for these constructions
