Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, grade: 1, 3, University of Bamberg (Lehrstuhl für Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft), language: English, abstract: This paper deals with Svan Verbs. This work attempts to approach the matter more practically by classifying and describing all the given verbs from the set of data into the patterns. The focus lies on the morphology and the classification of verbs and not on its usage or frequency.All the verb forms used in this paper are either elicited by a native speaker of Svan with whom a class of students from the University of Bamberg worked for two continuous terms, or sorted out of a few hours long recorded dialogue between this very speaker of the Svan language and an elderly woman from and in a Svan village, accessible as an ELAN-file. The Svan-English Dictionary by Gudjedjiani and Palmaitis serves as a scientific aid, for research topics sparsely outlined in the first term paper, especially.
