Language documentation involving diaspora communities presents a combination of challenges and opportunities for approaches leveraging large data collection and assisted transcription and annotation. Demonstrating our projects on Kichwa and Mapudungun, we will present a suite of our computational tools designed to effectively work with diaspora communities for language documentation.more » « lessFree, publicly-accessible full text available May 3, 2026

This study investigates the syntactic structure of Imbabura Kichwa, a Quechuan language spoken in the Imbabura Province of Ecuador, with a focus on the seemingly free word order in grammatical functions and discourse-semantic functions (i.e., topic and focus). We first provide the data and overviews of the non-configurationality and non-discourse-configurationality of Imbabura Kichwa. Then, we demonstrate that the underlying syntactic structure of Imbabura Kichwa is built up hierarchically based on the agreement of focus enclitics with clause types and polarity. Finally, we argue that the non-configurationality and non-discourse-configurationality are the surface realization of the movement from the underlying structure to the daughter positions of a non-projective category S.more » « less
