Congratulations to Trent Ukasick on receiving the Chester Fritz International Research and Study Fellowship and the Endangered Language Fund’s Sharing Language Diversity Fellowship to study Gyegu Tibetan. Trent plans to use the funds to document the grammar and sound system of Gyegu Tibetan while studying Mandarin at Qinghai Nationalities University in Xining. The project to document Gyegu Tibetan began as part of a field methods course here in the Linguistics Department, and since that time Trent has become particularly interested in the tone system of the language, the syntax of evidentiality/egophoricity marking sentence final auxiliaries, and focus marking. The data gathered during his time abroad will form the basis of his dissertation, which will explore topics in the syntax and phonology of this understudied Tibetan dialect. His time spent in Xining will not only enhance language skills necessary for his research, but also provide valuable experience that can be applied to future research projects.
