This webpage will focus on the research aspects of the project. If you are a parent of a child participating in the project, or if you are interested in the more applied aspects of\u00a0DASAGO<\/em>, we direct you to\u00a0our more popularized webpage<\/a>\u00a0(currently mostly in North Sami, but soon also to appear in Norwegian).<\/p>\n

The project DASAGO addresses first language acquisition of North Sami. North Sami is one of the indigenous languages spoken in Northern Norway and Northern Sweden. It belongs to the Finno-Ugric language family, and is on\u00a0UNESCO<\/em>‘s list of endangered languages<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DASAGO focuses on syntactic and phonological aspects of North Sami child language. We have three main subprojects:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u2022\u00a0CDI<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are adapting the language assessment tool\u00a0MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory (CDI)<\/em>\u00a0<\/a>into North Sami. The CDI exists for more than 50 different languages, among them, our neighbouring languages Swedish, Danish, Finnish and Russian, as well as\u00a0Norwegian<\/a>.
\nThe plan is to pilot this tool with selected families early in 2012.\u2022\u00a0Corpus<\/strong>
\nThe project will develop one longitudinal corpus from two monolingual North Sami children, and one longitudinal corpus from one North Sami\/Norwegian bilingual child. We are currently collecting and transcribing data from a three-year-old monolingual North Sami-speaking boy.\u2022\u00a0Focused experiments<\/strong>
\nWe will conduct focused experiments on various aspects in North Sami child language, such as the OV-VO alternation, Null subjects, negation, word-medial consonant clusters and grade alternation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
