It has been several decades since Noam Chomsky first proposed the theory of universal grammar in the 1950s. This theory has exerted significant influence and has been extensively studied by linguists and cognitive scientists in relation to various languages. However, the application of the theory of universal grammar to Mongolian syntax by Mongolian linguists has only emerged in the past decade or two, despite extensive research on Mongolian syntax from the perspectives of structural linguistics and descriptive linguistics. This paper presents a preliminary analysis of the application of the theory of Universal Grammar to Mongolian syntax, with a particular focus on the head parameter, movement, the pro-drop parameter, and agreement. By drawing on linguistic data from Mongolian, the study explores how certain principles and parameters of Universal Grammar can account for observed syntactic phenomena in Mongolian. By examining these linguistic phenomena through the framework of Universal Grammar, this preliminary analysis provides valuable insights into the extent to which Universal Grammar principles and parameters can explain the syntax of Mongolian. Consequently, it contributes to our understanding of language universals and variations. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s7oU9WoZRUirOciVgZnkXJliIThycQbR/edit
This paper emphasizes the current usage of the Mongolian and Cyrillic scripts – two writing systems being used in Mongolia today, and their graphemic features. At present, Cyrillic is used for all official documents nationwide, but the use of Mongolian digraphia in some legal documents has been approved. Moreover, according to the “Mongolian Language Law”, both scripts will be used in official documents from 2025. Analyzing the graphemic system of the two scripts, there are few inconsistencies in the Mongolian script, while there are some doubts in the Cyrillic script. This is related to the time period in which they were used as well as the graphemic principles. The development of the Mongolian script system is based on the reflection of Mongolian-like phonemes and the phonetic alteration of local dialects, whereas linguistic and political factors influenced the development of the Cyrillic graphemic system.
Монгол хэлний түвшин тогтоох шалтгалт, түүний үндсэн аргачлал, жишиг сорил болон цахим хэрэгсэл боловсруулсан тухай уг илтгэлд өгүүлсэн болно.
Some scholars regard Mongolian language learning during the 13th century as the beginning of Mongolian studies in Korea while other scholars estimate it even earlier during the Khitan period (9th-10th century). Contemporary Mongolian studies in Korea started in the 1950s and the main resources were three books Mongolian No-geol-dae, Cheop-hae Mong-eo and Mong-eo Ryu-hae written for Koreans during the 13th century and collectively known as “Three sources of Mongolian Studies”. In 1990, the two countries established diplomatic relations and the Department of Mongolian Studies was founded at Dankook University. During the past 30 years, Korea’s Mongolists have achieved international recognition and Professor Lee Seonggyu has been the one responsible for educating and graduating them and leading training and research programs. Hence, he is respected as the most prominent Korean Mongolist academic who has played an important role in Mongolian-Korean relations. In this article, firstly, we will introduce and classify his academic papers as registered in the Korea Citation Index (https://www.kci.go.kr/kciportal/main.kci). He has conducted wide variety of research in the field of Mongolian studies, such as source studies, historical linguistics, Khitan studies, orthography, modern Mongolian language and local dialects. He also leads in terms of number of studies published. Secondly, in this article we wrote an academic review of Professor Lee Seonggyu’s work “Linguistic analysis of Three Sources of Mongolian Studies” (蒙學三書의 蒙古語 硏究, 2002). The three sources are Mongolian No-geol-dae (蒙語老乞大, 1790), Mong-eo Ryu-hae (蒙語類解, 1790) and Cheop-hae Mong-eo (捷解蒙語, 1790) and Professor Lee Seonggyu published a comprehensive study on all forms and grammatical systems of the written and colloquial language within their lexicons. This work will not only serve as a foundation for students who will continue to study the linguistics of "Three Sources of Mongolian Studies", but it also became an important comparative study from historical point of view between the morphological features of this period of Mongolian historical language and other sources and dialects.
