Linguistics Final Year Topic: Agreement Patterns in Noun Phrases of an Urhobo Variety

This Linguistics final year project explores the distribution of agreement-related forms within noun phrases. It uses speaker-checked noun phrases and consented adult Urhobo descriptions to develop an evidence-led account of language form, meaning or use.

Why choose this project topic?

The focus on the distribution of agreement-related forms within noun phrases provides a specific linguistic problem that can be investigated with a bounded dataset. Speaker-checked evidence and explicit analysis decisions make the proposal suitable for discussion with a language specialist.

What can speaker-checked noun phrases and consented adult Urhobo descriptions establish about the distribution of agreement-related forms within noun phrases?

Name the precise variety or participant setting, agree the sample and analysis tools, and verify the feasibility of studying the distribution of agreement-related forms within noun phrases.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define an analytical account of the distribution of agreement-related forms within noun phrases.
  2. 02Document relevant examples using speaker-checked noun phrases and consented adult Urhobo descriptions.
  3. 03Test modifiers and referential contexts systematically, recording acceptable alternatives and unresolved judgments.

A suggested research approach

Confirm access to speaker-checked noun phrases and consented adult Urhobo descriptions and the competence needed for transcription or translation. Test modifiers and referential contexts systematically, recording acceptable alternatives and unresolved judgments. Pilot the tasks, record uncertain judgments, and obtain required ethics approval and informed consent before involving speakers.

What you will need

  • Authorised access to speaker-checked noun phrases and consented adult Urhobo descriptions
  • A transcription or coding protocol for the distribution of agreement-related forms within noun phrases
  • Appropriate language competence, secure storage and participant consent arrangements

Keep your project scope clear

Do not impose English grammatical categories where the language's evidence supports a different analysis.
