TY - JOUR A1 - LaPolla, Randy J. A1 - Yang, Jiangling T1 - 通过亲属语言、方言的比较 了解语言的历史发展 = Understanding the historical development of a language by comparing it with related languages and dialects T2 - 漢藏语学报 = Journal of Sino-Tibetan Linguistics N2 - This paper discusses the use of comparative data when describing a particular language. That is, even tho ugh we might be describing one variety, we can gain insights into the development of that variety from comparisons with related varieties. The examples presented are from the Rawang and Dulong languages. two closely related Tibeto-Burman languages in Myanmar and China respectively. We see that comparison with Dulong data can help us to understand the development of the applicative benefactive in Rawang. and comparison with Rawang can help us understand the development of the verbal first-person plural long vowels and nominal agentive marking long vowels in Dulong.
