タイトル：“Diversity within diversity: a description of Tshaasi”
要旨：Tshaasi, the easternmost variety of Taa (Naumann 2014), is the least studied dialect group of the language complex. The aim of my doctoral project is to fill this gap and to provide a description of Tshaasi with particular reference to language contact.
In my talk, I will outline the main questions to be addressed in my project, along with some preliminary results of my ongoing research. First, the integrity of Tshaasi as a genealogical unit will be called into question, as the presumed variety extends over a relatively large geographical area. Second, an assessment of the degree of relatedness to other varieties of Taa, especially those of East Taa, will be conducted. And lastly, since Tshaasi is spoken in the center of the so-called ‘central Kalahari’ (Güldemann 2014: 18), aspects of language contact, especially with Gǀui, ǂ’Amkoe (Nǃaqriaxe) and Kgalagadi, will be examined.
