The Multi-directional Development of Inverse Morphology in Gyalrongic
The Gyalrongic languages,a morphologically rich group within the Qiangic branch of the Sino-Tibetan family,are primarily spoken in the Aba Xizan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture and the Ganzi Xizang Autonomous Prefecture in western Sichuan,China.The verbal morphology of these languages is notably complex,especially in terms of argument indexation.One key aspect of argument indexation is the inverse morphology,which is both a crucial component and one of the most divergent in its usage across the Gyalrongic languages.This paper compares the use of inverse morphology across seventeen Gyalrongic varieties,discussing the typology and regional distribution of various usages,and hypothesises about the historical development of this morphological feature.
