About me

Who Am I?

I am an associate professor of Linguistics at the Ilia State University in Tbilisi. I obtained my first PhD in Greek Linguistics at the Iv. Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University and my second doctorate in General Linguistics at the Joint Lehman-Haupt International Doctoral Program of Ilia State University and Georg August University of Göttingen. I also hold BA Hons in Greek Language and Literature, and Georgian Language and Literature and MPhil in Classical Philology.

My main research interests are in formal linguistics, more specifically syntactic and morphological theory. My approach to teaching focuses on engaging young scholars to the research projects, thus strengthening the nexus between research and teaching and developing the teaching architectures that promote research-based educational practices.

Lately, my interests covered the following topics:

  • the study of the endangered variety of Greek that is under-documented and under-studied, namely Pontic Greek (also called Romeika) spoken by the Pontic community of Georgia, focusing on morphosyntactic variation and change and language contact issues;
  • generative syntax of Georgian, focusing on ergativity issues, case-licensing and subject marking;
  • Georgian morphosyntactic computational analysis and developing tools for the annotation of universal syntactic dependencies

To be more precise, my main research interests include generative syntax, morphology, case licensing, language contact and endangered language varieties, Greek and Georgian. A more detailed outline of my research interests, as well as my publications, can be found in a full version of my CV in the Projects & Online Resources section.

What I do?

Here are some of my research interests

Generative grammar

Generative grammar is a system of rules that generates exactly those combinations of words that form grammatical sentences in a language.

Contact Linguistics

Contact Linguistics is a research of grammatical structures when bilingual speakers use their two or more languages in the same clause.

Applied Linguistics

Applied linguistics refers to a broad range of activities which involve solving some language-related problem or addressing some language-related concern.

Projects & Online Resources

The aim of the project is to analyse differential subject marking (DSM) in Georgian Language, thus providing one more specific case study on DSM. Although much is known about DSM variations cross-linguistically, relatively little attempt has been made to study that issue in Georgian linguistics. In many languages DSM may take many forms and it does not constitute a unified phenomenon. Georgian DSM is triggered by formal: transitivity, aspect and tense, and semantic features: factors relating to animacy/person scale and volitionality. DSM is analysed within the syntactic approach in the framework of the generative grammar (GG), Minimalist Program (MP). The main research questions addressed in the project are:

  • What factors trigger DSM in Georgian?
  • How is differential marking on NPs, i.e. case, related to differential marking on Vs, i.e. agreement?
  • How Georgian DSM fits in the picture of the two possible implementations of Case Theory, namely Inherent Case Theory (ICT) and Dependent Case Theory (DCT)?

The basic data collection is archived according to current standard of linguistic resources and is accessible to the research community via DSM Database The research is based on the material elicited from different corpora of Georgian language:

  1. The Georgian National Corpus (GNC), Modern Georgian, designed and coordinated by J. Gippert, M. Tandashvili and P. Meurer available at http://gnc.gov.ge/gnc/page;
  2. The Georgian Language Corpus (GLC), designed and coordinated by N. Doborjginidze and I. Lobzhanidze, available at http://corpora.iliauni.edu.ge/, and,
  3. Additional original corpus available at DSM Database, DSM Questionnaries and Additional examples of m-dative arguments that has been created for obtaining additional empirical evidence about DSM features in Georgian and testing the hypothesis.

The project has been maintained with the financial support of the Volkswagen Foundation in 2013-2017. The project investigated Greek communities’ language differences that exist in Georgia. Namely there are two communities that share a common ethnic identity but use different languages:

  • Urum Greeks – who speak a language which is closely related to the Anatolian varieties of Turkish and,
  • Pontic Greeks – who speak Pontic Dialect of Greek.
The aim of the project was to document these varieties and to observe the impact of current transformational processes on language use and ethnic identity within three different stages:
  • homeland - original statement areas in Georgia,
  • internal migration – urban centers in Georgia,
  • emigration – countries of the European Union.

The main aim was to collect different data and to create a multimedia corpus including a text collection that can be used for the study of language use.

The basic data collection is archived according to current standard of linguistic resources and is accessible to the research community via the TLA archive, see Corpus Resource: TLA, XTYP Lab, https://tla.mpi.nl/resources/data-archive/

One of the results of the project among others was also publication of the monograph "Morphological Aspects of Pontic Greek spoken in Georgia", in Series: Languages of the World 54, LINCOM, Munich 2017. The information about the book can be retrieved from the publishing house’s official web-site: http://lincom-shop.eu/LW-54-Morphological-Aspects-of-Pontic-Greek-Spoken-in-Georgia/en

The online dictionary of idioms was developed with the financial support of Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation in 2014-2017, it contains 8500 entries, alongside with citations taken from the corpus and literary sources. The dictionary is intended for specialists of Georgian and Modern Greek, teachers and translators who deal with literary texts.

  • It is the first attempt to compile the Georgian-Modern Greek and Modern Greek-Georgian Dictionaries of Idioms;
  • The internal system enables the ‘Advanced search’ option, which allows users to perform a more extensive search associated with grammatical structure of words;

  • The entries of bilingual dictionaries are equipped with transcription fields;
  • The online dictionary of idioms is linked to the International Lexicological Portal.

The dictionary is available here: http://idioms.iliauni.edu.ge/

Ilia State University projects on compilation of the Georgian Language Corpus (GLC), which includes two main sections, monolingual and bilingual. The corpus was developed at the Institute of Linguistic Studies of Ilia State University during 2009-2016. New and Modern Georgian Corpus contains linguistically annotated texts from 1832 to 2012 with each word tagged by its lemma and morphosyntactic description. The linguistic annotation was carried out by means of Morphological Analyzer of Modern Georgian Language developed by prof. Irina Lobzhanidze within the framework of the project financed by the Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation. The Corpus contains different sub-corpora, including,

but not limited to Parallel corpus of Georgian Chronicles, Corpus of the Georgian Periodicals of 19th and 20th centuries, Corpus of Georgian scientific language, Georgian legal corpus etc.

All corpora are available at: http://corpora.iliauni.edu.ge/

Team: Nino Doborjginidze (PI, ISU), Irina Lobzhanidze (PI, ISU), Svetlana Berikashvili (Coord., ISU), Giorgi Tadumadze (Coord., ISU), Tsira Khakhviashvili, Nato Bilanishvili (Coord., TSU); Irakli Gunia, Giorgi Mirianashvili, Merab Zakalashvili (Software Maintenance), assistants of the institute of linguistic research.
