This dissertation provides a comprehensive grammatical description of Shughni, an understudied Eastern Iranian language spoken in Afghanistan and Tajikistan. Contributing to this goal are three primary objectives: (i) to identify, analyze, and describe areas of the language's grammar which have heretofore not been investigated; (ii) to synthesize and build upon existing research on the language, much of which was published in Russian during the Soviet era and has therefore been hard to access for many scholars outside the former Soviet Union; and (iii) to point out phenomena in Shughni which are not covered in depth here and are ripe for future investigation. Novel contributions of this thesis include, among others, an analysis of definiteness in Shughni nominals, a thorough description of the language's system of triple deixis, particularly as it pertains to demonstratives and adverbs, and a description of tense and aspect situated in a Neo-Reichenbachian framework. It provides a thorough description of morphosyntactic alignment in Shughni from synchronic, diachronic, and typological perspectives, and it builds upon the work of Soviet-era scholars in providing a historical account of several irregularities found in the modern Shughni verbal system, notably the suppletion in infinitive, present, and past stems, as well as the development of syncretism in feminine and plural past and perfect forms. Ultimately, it is the author's hope that this thesis will both contribute to the documentation of Shughni and spur future research into un(der)-investigated areas of its grammar.

520 $a Cette these fournit une description grammaticale exhaustive de la langue shughni, une langue peu etudiee dugroupe iranien oriental qui est parlee en Afghanistan et au Tadjikistan. Trois objectifs principaux contribuent ala realisation de ce but: (i) identifier, analyser et decrire les domaines de la grammaire qui n'ont pas ete etudiesjusqu'a present; (ii) synthetiser et developper les recherches existantes sur la langue, dont une grande partie aete publiee en russe a l'epoque sovietique et, par consequent, a rendu difficile l'acces de nombreux chercheursen dehors de l'ancienne Union sovietique; (iii) souligner des phenomenes de la langue shughni qui sortent ducadre de cette these et meritent d'etre etudies dans le futur. Parmi ses nouvelles contributions figurent l'analysede la definitude dans les expressions nominales, la description approfondie du systeme deictique, particulierementen ce qui concerne les demonstratifs et les adverbes, et l'analyse du temps et de l'aspect grammatical selon lemodele neo-Reichenbachien. Elle donne aussi une description approfondie de la structure d'actance du point devue synchronique, diachronique et typologique. La these s'appuie egalement sur les resultats des chercheurs del'ere sovietique afin d'offrir un compte rendu historique de plusieurs irregularites dans le systeme verbal du shughnimoderne, notamment la suppletion dans les radicaux infinitifs, presents, et passes, ainsi que le developpement dusyncretisme dans les formes feminines et au pluriel du passe et du parfait. En fin de compte, l'auteur espere quecette these non seulement contribuera a la documentation de la langue shughni, mais aussi stimulera de futuresetudes dans des domaines non explores et peu explores de la grammaire.
