Abstract

Suppletion is central to the debate on the nature of roots: whether roots are characterized by their phonology or are phonologically abstract. Borer (2014) holds that so-called suppletive verbs consist of different phonologically constant roots with overlapping semantics. Harley (2014), however, argues that suppletive verbs instantiate root suppletion: one abstract root with distinct phonological realizations dependent on grammatical environment. This squib presents additional evidence from verbal suppletion in Creek (Muskogean) that supports the view that roots are abstract. Creek suppletive verbs are part of a larger three-way number-marking paradigm and their distribution is dependent on the formal number features of their first argument.

三向数字系统的补充:来自克里克的证据
补语是关于词根本质的争论的核心:词根是由其音系特征还是音系抽象。Borer(2014)认为所谓的补语动词是由不同音系不变的词根组成的,这些词根在语义上是重叠的。然而,Harley(2014)认为,补语动词实例化了词根补充:一个抽象词根,根据语法环境具有不同的语音实现。这个哑巴提供了来自克里克语(马斯科根语)补充语的额外证据,支持根是抽象的观点。希腊补语动词是一个更大的三向数字标记范式的一部分,它们的分布取决于它们的第一个参数的形式数字特征。
