Abstract

This paper examines plural suppletion in the Barguzin dialect of Buryat (Mongolic, Russia), which occurs only in accusative and genitive noun phrases. The restricted distribution of this process, specifically its absence in oblique cases, is significant for recent research on the typology of suppletion and the feature structure of case. For much work in this vein, this plural suppletion would qualify as having an ‘ABA’ pattern, which is predicted to be unattested. I argue that the suppletive plural morpheme in question is a portmanteau whose morphological requirements cause it to conflict, for independent reasons, with the realization of oblique noun phrases. Consequently, I argue that its distribution does not falsify the theories that normally ban ABA patterns, but rather instantiates a principled exception to them which sharpens our understanding of them.

巴尔古津布里亚特的区分大小写的复数补语:关于大小写遏制、补语类型和形态学上的竞争
本文研究了俄罗斯蒙古布里亚特巴尔古津方言中复数补语,这种补语只出现在宾格和属格名词短语中。这一过程的有限分布,特别是其在倾斜病例中的缺失,对最近关于补充类型和病例特征结构的研究具有重要意义。对于这方面的许多工作,这种复数补充将有资格具有“ABA”模式,预计这是未经证实的。我认为所讨论的补充复数语素是一个混合词,其形态要求由于独立的原因导致它与斜名词短语的实现相冲突。因此,我认为它的分布并没有证伪通常禁止ABA模式的理论,而是实例化了一个原则性的例外,这加深了我们对ABA模式的理解。
