Abstract

ABSTRACT The clitic =lku in Warlpiri and Warlmanpa (Ngumpin-Yapa, Pama-Nyungan, Australia) has been previously analyzed as a ‘change of state’ marker indicating some proposition is false at an earlier time, and true at a later time. In this paper, I examine a number of uses of =lku, which require expanding and refining the ‘change of state’ analysis, in order to argue for a new analysis of =lku as a temporal and discourse clitic. The temporal function locates the event or state being modified by =lku in the temporal consequence of another event or state. This function interacts with lexical aspect, triggering an inference of the cessation of an ongoing state or event, if there is one, and encoding the inception of the state or event being modified by =lku. The discourse use of =lku frames new information which should be evaluated against the ongoing discourse. I also demonstrate some striking cross-linguistic similarities, showing that temporal morphemes commonly interact with discourse structure, just as =lku does in Warlpiri and Warlmanpa.

对比和追溯含义:对瓦尔皮里和瓦尔曼帕的=lku“现在,然后”的分析
摘要Warlpiri和Warlmanpa(Ngumpin Yapa,Pama Nyungan,Australia)中的clitic=lku以前曾被分析为“状态变化”标记,表明某些命题在早期是错误的,在后期是正确的。在本文中,我考察了=lku的一些用法,这些用法需要扩展和完善“状态变化”分析,以便对=lku作为一个时间和话语集团进行新的分析。时间函数将被=lku修改的事件或状态定位在另一事件或状态的时间结果中。该函数与词法方面相互作用,如果存在正在进行的状态或事件,则触发对该状态或事件停止的推断,并通过=lku对正在修改的状态或活动的开始进行编码。=lku的话语使用构成了新的信息,这些信息应该根据正在进行的话语进行评估。我还展示了一些惊人的跨语言相似性,表明时间语素通常与话语结构相互作用,就像瓦尔皮里和瓦尔曼帕中的=lku一样。
