RRG for Philippine Languages



May 18-28, 2004



a course/workshop with RRG's primary developer

Robert D. Van Valin, Jr.

(State University of New York at Buffalo)



Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) is a theoretical model that "grew out of an attempt to answer two basic questions: (1) what would linguistic theory look like if it were based on the analysis of Lakhota, Tagalog and Dyirbal, rather than on the analysis of English? and (2) how can the interaction of syntax, semantics and pragmatics in different grammatical systems best be captured and explained." Role and Reference Grammar paper



Goal

Participants will gain working familiarity with RRG, to the extent that they could use the framework for describing specific

characteristics of Philippine-type languages. Linguistics instructors will gain familiarity with a current framework suited for Philippine languages.



Preparation

Participants should have a working knowledge of basic syntax and a Philippine-type language. There will be a significant amount of reading.



When: May 18-28, 2004



Where: Philippine Normal University
