Die kognitiven Prozesse und die Wahrnehmung hinter einer polysynthetischen Sprache anhand des Beispiels Lakota
This poster tackles the incremental processing of a polysynthetic language in Lakota. We will rely on prior research on polysynthetic (although not ot the same degree) languages and continue from there on with hypotheses regarding the nature of Lakota.
Also, we would like to spread awareness about the underresearched languages of the world that can be described as polysynthetic - such as Lakota, which is / was spoken in the great Plains of North America.
The poster is meant to be the foundation for possible research in the future regarding the methodology and possible outcome of such endeavor when applied to Lakota instead of for instance Murrinhpatha.
The aim of the talk is to explore the forms through which the cognitive processes of speakers of polysynthetic languages can be understood and decribed through the lense of a polysynthetic language (namely Lakota) and the combination of both cognitive data and language data.
