ABSTRACT:

\n

Expressive and ideophonic constructions conveying &lsquo\;marked words that depict sensory imagery&rsquo\; (Dingemanse 2012) are frequently found in the languages of all regions of the world\, but their distribution\, use and functioning across languages of the Caucasus has never been documented from a regional perspective. This talk will give you a brief taste of the various kinds of expressive language present in the three autochthonous Caucasian families: Abkhaz-Adyghean\, Kartvelian and Nakh-Daghestanian. It will also look at greater length at the specific morphological and syntactic peculiarities of expressives in Georgian\, which exhibit exuberant consonant clusters\, processes of reduplication uncharacteristic of the language as a whole\, as well as specific morphosyntactic alignment splits between different classes of expressive. \;
