Накратко на български

Връзката между социалните структури и езика се анализира чрез притежателните конструкции при народите Саами и Паамесе. Това помага да се разбере как промените в начина на живот на коренните общности влияят върху структурата на техните езици.

A Multifactorial Analysis of Possessive Structures: Mapping the Interaction of Language, Culture, and Cognition

The immediate and profound restructuring of indigenous societies, cultures, and languages opens a unique but elusive temporal window to investigate if transition of social structures impact language structure. There are 370 million indigenous peoples in the world who belong to more than 5,000 societies, and speak more than 4,000 languages . Understanding the mechanisms of a situation that potentially affects more than half of the world languages and cultures is a challenge of a global significance. MAPS seized this fleeting opportunity and collected critically understudied data from two indigenous communities whose traditional modes of subsistence are currently absorbing substantial disturbances: the Sámi people of the European arctic, and the Paamese people of the South Pacific tropics. The overall objective of MAPS were to understand if social variables which are typical to most indigenous communities have a lasting impact on the structure of language. MAPS revealed a number of results in support of this hypothesis.

Цел на проекта

A Multifactorial Analysis of Possessive Structures: Mapping the Interaction of Language, Culture, and CognitionThere is a general consensus in the linguistic community that language is embedded in its cognitive, social, and multimodal dimensions, but these dimensions are often studied in isolation. We propose a novel methodology of linguistic analysis that integrates these interacting dimensions and provide new data on severely under-described languages that are both essential to move beyond the gridlock of polemics in ongoing scientific debates. The MAPS project will not only extend the current knowledge on the interaction of language, culture, and cognition but will also address the urgent issues of preserving the linguistic and cultural heritage of indigenous communities. We precisely measure the impact of three societal factors (assimilation policies, gender, and contact pressure) on language, culture, and cognition within two indigenous linguistic groups: the North Sámi people of Norway, and the Paamese people of Vanuatu. The project will determine whether the three societal factors affect patterns of linguistic change and impact the way of thinking of the two indigenous communities to the extent of potentially redefining their social structure. MAPS embodies the EU’s commitment and values in improving the intercultural integration of both ‘old’ European indigenous minority communities and ‘new’ linguistic group minorities by putting the spotlight on the key role of language policy making and its socio-cognitive-linguistic effects.
