Dissertation title / work title: Grammaticalization of numeral classifiers in Southern Sinitic languages
Mentor at the JGU: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Walter Bisang
Dissertation topic:
My dissertation project is a corpus-based study combined with fieldwork on numeral classifiers in Southern Sinitic languages (Hakka, Min and Cantonese). It aims to present a descriptive and analytic account of the functions of numeral classifiers in these languages and create an improved model of the development of classifier systems by investigating possible grammaticalization pathways.
