Research Interest

Dr. Brosig’s research can be described as language documentation and morpho-syntactic description, within
the overall frame of Linguistic Typology. His research so far has mostly focused on predicative categories
(evidentiality, aspect, tense, negation) of individual Mongolic varieties (Middle Mongol, Khalkha, Khorchin,
Deedmongol) or in the entire Mongolic language family. For this, he conducted fieldwork in Ulaanbaatar,
Tongliao (Inner Mongolia, China) and Haixi (Qinghai, China). He also worked on other interactionally
relevant categories of Khalkha Mongolian such as terms of address and self-reference, noun-phrase-related
stance and authority marking, as well as on extended functions of quotative verb constructions.
