About the Project
The aim of this project is to survey specific aspects of the structure and organization of the Zhuang language, the largest "minority" language in the Peopleˇ¦s Republic of China (PRC) with about 20 million speakers. It is a Tai-Kadai language spoken mainly in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of the PRC. This project aims at developing a comprehensive grammar of the Zhuang language. Aspects of the language, including the structure of the nominal and verbal phrases, will be investigated. The role of grammatical fieldwork analysis becomes significant here, as it is only through systematic and well-planned field methods that one will be able to elicit natural Zhuang data from native speakers of the language as they go about their everyday activities.
