Language Assignment: Kannada
Please do write the title of the essay based on what you write. Really appreciate.
Choose a language of the world that is non-European and has fewer than 50 million speakers—it is probably easiest if you choose the language you studied for the first assignment—and based on insights gathered from the reading about Kupwar, assess the extent to which your language’s sentences are intertranslatable with those of its neighboring languages and discuss what kinds of historical and social factors may have contributed to its level of intertranslatability.
For the purposes of this assignment, use word order similarity as a proxy for intertranslatability.
For example, two languages showing SOV word order would be considered more intertranslatable than two languages where one shows SOV and the other SVO word order.
As with the previous assignment, you may ignore two of the WALS maps listed above without getting special permission if your language presents difficulties in the evaluation of that feature.
However, you should explicitly indicate in your assignment that you are ignoring that feature and include a brief explanation as to why. If, for some reason, you feel the need to exclude more than one feature, you will need to obtain permission to do so from either me or the course TAs.
You should consider a smaller area of “neighboring” languages for this assignment than the previous one. Specifically, discuss about four or five languages spoken most closely to the language you have chosen.
Make sure it is clear in your assignment precisely which languages you chose to examine.
The assignment should be 3 to 5 pages long.
