“A comparative typological study between Asturian and Cheyenne”
This study offers a typological comparison between Asturian, an Indo-European language belonging to the Romance language family, and Cheyenne, an Algonquian language of the Great Plains, based on a wide range of morphosyntactic (morphological complexity, case marking, verbal agreement, alignment, etc.), semantic (TAM expression, categorization, etc.), phonological and phonetic (phoneme inventory, prosodic features, syllabic structure, etc.), and pragmatic criteria (word order, etc.). The results of this study will show that, despite the significant contrasts between the two language families, it is also possible to identify important similarities, such as the presence of syntactic and semantic iconicity in complex sentence formation.
Avelino Corral Esteban works as a Senior Lecturer / Associate Professor in Linguistics at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain, where he teaches courses on syntax, historical linguistics, and information structure. His main areas of research cover the interaction between syntax, semantics, and pragmatics across languages, with a focus on Native American, Romance, Germanic, and Celtic languages. He has participated in 8 research projects, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, the Arts and Humanities Research Council in the UK, and the Advocates for Indigenous California Language Survival in the USA, and he leads the Honóxease Project, whose aim is to foster the preservation and revitalization of the Cheyenne language. He also received the Phillips Fund grant for Native American Research and the Benjamin Franklin grant from the American Philosophical Society. He is the author of 2 books, published by Routledge and Peter Lang, 11 book chapters, published by Cambridge University Press, De Gruyter, John Benjamins, Peter Lang, and Routledge, and more than twenty research articles, which have appeared in major linguistics journals (Acta Linguistica Academica, Journal of Language Contact, and Journal of Language and Intercultural Communication, RESLA, WORD, and Zeitschrift für Romanische Philologie).
