The pitfalls of negative evidence

Autor: Robert A. Blust, Victoria Chen

Beginning with publications in the early 1980s there have been attempts to use syntactic data to determine the highest-order subgroups of Austronesian. These efforts fall into two categories: those which claim that the voice affixes of Philippine-typ

The case against absolutive "Case" in Gooniyandi . in C Gentens, L Ghesquière, W B McGregor & A Van Linden (eds), Reconnecting Form and Meaning : In honour of Kristin Davidse .

Gooniyandi (Bunuban, Kimberley, north-west Australia), according to McGregor (1990a), has an ergative case-marker. Unusually, McGregor's grammar does not identify a corresponding zero absolutive case-marker or case; nor does it discuss why there is n

Syntactic Ergativity as a Constraint on Crossing Dependencies: The Perspective from Mayan

Autor: Rebecca Tollan, Lauren Eby Clemens

Publikováno v: Linguistic Inquiry. :1-41

This article presents an account of syntactic ergativity based on the grammaticalization of a processing-based preference for nested as compared with crossing dependencies. We propose that ergative subject extraction restrictions arise because such m

The split word orders APV and PAV of Nuosu Yi

Autor: Suhua Hu

Publikováno v: Asian Languages and Linguistics. 2:36-79

Nuosu Yi is a Tibeto-Burman (henceforth TB) language lacking sufficient core case markers. Depending on the telicity and aspectuality of the predicates, its basic word order splits into APV and rigid PAV. To be specific, the atelic and/or imperfectiv

Two types of alignment change in nominalizations

Autor: Edith Aldridge, Yuko Yanagida

Publikováno v: Diachronic Dimensions of Alignment Typology. 38:314-357

This paper investigates two instances of alignment change, both of which resulted from reanalysis of a nominalized embedded clause type, in which the external argument was marked with genitive case and the internal argument was focused. We show that
