Abstract Abaza, a polysynthetic ergative Northwest Caucasian language, possesses a typologically unique system of forming content questions by means of inflectional marking in the verb. I offer a detailed description of this peculiar system, showing how it is grounded in the more general pattern of encoding relativization by means of prefixes forming part of the basic cross-referencing paradigms. I also discuss a tentative diachronic scenario, explaining how at least a subpart of the synthetic interrogative marking in Abaza (and its close relative Abkhaz) could have emerged via univerbation of pseudocleft focus constructions.
摘要阿巴扎语是西北高加索语的一种多合成作格语言,它通过动词中的屈折标记形成内容疑问,具有类型学上独特的系统。我对这个特殊的系统进行了详细的描述,展示了它是如何建立在更普遍的编码相对化模式中的,前缀是基本交叉引用范式的一部分。我还讨论了一个试探性的历时场景,解释了阿巴扎(及其近亲阿布哈兹)的合成疑问标记的至少一个子部分是如何通过伪左焦点结构的不表达而出现的。

Abstract This paper provides a typological overview of expletive negation based on a survey of 722 languages, focusing in detail on a smaller sample of five languages. Expletive negation (EN) has been discussed extensively within Romance linguistics. This paper surveys its occurrence across languages of the world and offers a comprehensive list of EN-triggering contexts collected from French and Mandarin, comparing that list with EN triggers in Januubi, English, and Zarma-Sonrai. The paper proposes a language production and semantic account of the similarity of EN-triggering contexts found in these five languages. We propose that the meaning of EN triggers entails or strongly implies ¬p and that the activation of ¬p alongside p is what leads speakers to produce EN. Four semantic licensing conditions for EN triggers are identified and each EN-triggering context is semantically analyzed.
本文在对722种语言进行调查的基础上,对咒骂否定的类型进行了概述,并对五种语言的小样本进行了详细的研究。咒骂否定在罗曼语语言学中被广泛讨论。本文调查了其在世界语言中的出现情况,并提供了从法语和普通话中收集的EN触发上下文的综合列表,并将该列表与日语,英语和Zarma-Sonrai中的EN触发进行了比较。本文提出了在这五种语言中发现的英语触发上下文相似性的语言生成和语义解释。我们认为EN触发的意义需要或强烈暗示p, p和p的激活是导致说话者产生EN的原因。确定了EN触发器的四种语义许可条件,并对每个EN触发上下文进行了语义分析。

Abstract This paper provides a typological survey of Mano, a Mande language of Guinea and Liberia. It sketches a linguistic portrait of Mano as a representative member of the Southern branch of the Mande family. The family features shared by Mano include S-Aux-O-V-X word order, the parallelism between nominal and verbal syntax, and the ubiquity of passive lability. The branch features include rich tonal morphology, the unstable character of nasal consonants, and rich pronominal paradigms, including auxiliaries that index the person and number of the subject. Some of the features presented here have not been sufficiently analyzed in the Mandeist literature, so it is unclear how unusual Mano is in comparison to other Mande languages in terms of the large class of inalienably possessed nouns, or the clause-level nominalization that may include another clause as its constituent. Finally, some properties are almost certainly specific to Mano, such as the dedicated tonal forms used in conditional clauses. This paper puts Mano in its typological context, elaborating on those features which are cross linguistically well attested versus those which are cross linguistically rare.
摘要本文对几内亚和利比里亚的曼德语马诺语进行了类型学考察。它描绘了马诺作为曼德家族南部分支代表成员的语言肖像。Mano共有的家族特征包括S-Aux-O-V-X语序、名词语法和动词语法之间的平行性以及被动不稳定的普遍性。分支特征包括丰富的音调形态、不稳定的鼻辅音特征和丰富的代词范式,包括指示主语的人称和数量的助词。这里提出的一些特征在Mandeist文献中没有得到充分的分析,因此,与其他Mande语言相比,在大量不可分割的名词方面,或者在可能包括另一个从句作为其组成部分的从句级名词化方面,Mano语有多不寻常,目前尚不清楚。最后,一些性质几乎可以肯定是马诺特有的,例如条件子句中使用的专用音调形式。本文将Mano置于其类型学语境中,详细阐述了跨语言证明的特征与跨语言罕见的特征。

Betrayal through obedience: on the history of the unusual inflectional chain in Siyuewu Khroskyabs 服从的背叛:论《四月娥》中不寻常的屈折链的历史

Abstract This paper focuses on the verbal inflection chain of Siyuewu Khroskyabs, a Gyalrongic language (Trans-Himalayan). Siyuewu Khroskyabs goes against two general typological tendencies: first, as an SOV language, it shows an overwhelming preference for prefixes, which is rarely reported typologically; second, the inflectional prefixes in the outer slots are older than those in the inner slots, which is the reverse case of most languages. In this paper, I will first identify distinct historical layers within the inflectional prefixes, and then focus on two of the prefixes, də- ‘even’ and ɕə- ‘q’ whose evolutionary pathways are relatively clear. The essential part of the hypotheses is that the prefixes originate from enclitics which could be attached to the end of a preverbal chain, originally loosely attached to the verb stem. The preverbal chain later became tightly attached to the verbal stem and eventually became a part of it as a chain of prefixes. As a result, the original enclitics are reanalysed as prefixes. The integration of preverbal morphemes is responsible for the prefixing preference in Modern Siyuewu Khroskyabs. However, despite this superficial prefixing preference, Siyuewu Khroskyabs underlyingly favours postposed morphemes. By following the general suffixing tendency, this language finally managed to create a typologically rare, overwhelmingly prefixing verbal template.
摘要:本文主要研究喜马拉雅语四越语的词形变化链。四越语违背了两大类型学倾向:第一,作为一种SOV语言,它对前缀有压倒性的偏好,这在类型学上很少有报道;其次,外部槽的屈折前缀比内部槽的屈折前缀更古老,这与大多数语言的情况相反。在本文中,我将首先识别屈折前缀中不同的历史层次,然后重点关注其中两个前缀,d æ - ' even '和k æ - ' q ',它们的进化途径相对清晰。这些假设的基本部分是,前缀起源于词尾,词尾可以附着在前语链的末端,最初松散地附着在动词词干上。前语链后来紧紧地附着在词干上,最终成为词干的一部分,形成前缀链。因此,原始的词缀被重新分析为前缀。语前语素的整合是现代四月五语前缀偏好的主要原因。然而,尽管有这种表面上的前缀偏好,但四月五赫洛斯基布实际上更喜欢后置语素。通过遵循一般的后缀趋势,这种语言最终创造了一种类型学上罕见的、压倒性的前缀语言模板。

The Gur languages (called Voltaic in the French tradition) form a huge language family within the Niger-Congo phylum. The family includes more than 70 languages spoken mainly in southeastern Mali, Burkina Faso, northern Benin, Nigeria, northern Togo, northern Ghana and northern Ivory Coast. While the position of some subgroups of the family, e. g. Senufo and some isolated languages, has recently been called into question, the languages of Central Gur undeniably form a tightly connected unit. Languages of this subgroup have similar phonological and tonal systems of two or three tones, and they share some grammatical features such as SVO constituent order, so-called “noun classes”, serial verb constructions and other multiverb predicates and coordinate constructions. Central Gur languages generally have a distinction between groups of stative and dynamic verbs, and aspect is important in the verbal system, marked with suffixes on the verb itself, whereas tense is marked by means of preverbal particles or auxiliaries. Research on Gur languages is growing, albeit slowly; however good descriptions taking into account all levels of the language are still scarce. Therefore, any effort to write a grammar of a Gur language is highly appreciated. The book under review is one of the rare grammars of a Central Gur language undertaken by a mother tongue speaker. In the following, I give a synopsis of the contents of this book, including my own analysis of remarkable and intriguing issues.
古尔语(在法国传统中称为伏尔泰语)在尼日尔-刚果门中形成了一个庞大的语系。该家族包括70多种语言,主要分布在马里东南部、布基纳法索、贝宁北部、尼日利亚、多哥北部、加纳北部和科特迪瓦北部。虽然该家族的一些亚群的地位最近受到了质疑,例如塞努福语和一些孤立的语言,但不可否认的是,中央导师的语言形成了一个紧密相连的单元。该亚群的语言具有相似的两个或三个音调的语音和音调系统,它们具有一些语法特征,如SVO构成顺序、所谓的“名词类”、连动结构和其他多动词谓词和配位结构。中古尔语通常有静态动词组和动态动词组的区别,体在动词系统中很重要,用动词本身的后缀标记,而时态则用动词前助词或助词标记。对古语言的研究正在增长,尽管进展缓慢;然而,考虑到语言各个层面的良好描述仍然很少。因此,任何编写古尔语语法的努力都会受到高度赞赏。正在审查的这本书是由母语使用者编写的罕见的中央古尔语语法之一。在下文中,我简要介绍了这本书的内容,包括我自己对引人注目和有趣问题的分析。

Few airline passengers meet the one word question ‘Coffee?’ with a baffled stare; the question clearly means ‘Would you like some coffee?’ despite the absence of verbs and pronouns. Questions ask about the addressee or his ken and statements give information about the speaker or her ken. This pattern, which I shall call the ‘conversational presumption’, is built into the fabric of human communication; it permits languages even without verb agreement to make sparse use of pronouns. Witness Japanese genki desu ka (well COP Q) ‘Are you well?’ and genki desu (well COP) ‘I am well’. In particular, forms with inherently private evidential meaning (Wittgenstein’s ‘toothache’) are restricted to first person statements (ha ga itai desu [tooth SBJ hurt COP] ‘I have a toothache’) and second person questions (ha ga itai desu ka [tooth SBJ hurt COP Q] ‘Do you have a toothache?’); other contexts require different expressions (ha ga ita gatteiru [tooth SBJ hurt appear-PROG] ‘He (you) appears (appear) to have a toothache’.). In a 1980 paper, Austin Hale mistook the intersection of the conversational presumption and personal evidentiality in Newar as an exotic form of person agreement, which he referred to as ‘conjunct-disjunct’ and, under the influence of Nicolas Tournadre’s analysis of Lhasa Tibetan, later came to be called ‘egophoricity’ (Hill and Gawne 2017). I use the term ‘Personal evidentiality’ (equivalent to conjunct, egophoric, or participatory in descriptions of particular languages) for the marking of information as known through conscious personal involvement, e. g. ‘I am a linguist’, ‘I work in London’, etc. Since Hale’s time linguists have struggled to overcome his error. The book under review is a step forward in this struggle, but the battle is far from won. Before Hale, Edward Bendix correctly described Newar personal evidentiality as expressing “the evidential category of intentional action” (Bendix 1974: 54) and
很少有航空公司的乘客会遇到一个词的问题“咖啡?”带着困惑的凝视;这个问题的意思显然是“你想喝杯咖啡吗?”尽管没有动词和代词。关于收件人或其话语的问题和陈述提供了关于说话者或其话语信息。这种模式,我将称之为“对话推定”,是建立在人类交流结构中的;它允许即使没有动词一致性的语言也可以稀疏地使用代词。见证日本人genki desu ka(好COP Q)“你还好吗?”和genki desu(好COP)“我很好”。特别是,具有固有私人证据意义的形式(维特根斯坦的“牙痛”)仅限于第一人称陈述(ha ga itai desu[tooth SBJ hurt COP]“我牙疼”)和第二人称问题(ha ga itai desu ka[toothe SBJ hur COP Q]“你牙痛吗?”);其他上下文需要不同的表达方式(ha ga ita gatteiru[tooth SBJ hurt appear PROG]“他(你)看起来(似乎)牙痛”)。在1980年的一篇论文中,Austin Hale将Newar中的会话推定和个人证据性的交叉误认为是一种奇特的人身协议形式,他称之为“连词-析取”,在Nicolas Tournadre对拉萨藏语的分析的影响下,后来被称为“自指性”(Hill和Gawne 2017)。我使用“个人证据性”一词(相当于连词、自指或参与特定语言的描述)来标记通过有意识的个人参与已知的信息,例如“我是一名语言学家”、“我在伦敦工作”等。自黑尔时代以来,语言学家们一直在努力克服他的错误。正在审查的这本书是在这场斗争中向前迈出的一步,但这场斗争远未取得胜利。在Hale之前,Edward Bendix正确地将Newar的个人证据性描述为表达“故意行为的证据类别”(Bendix 1974:54)和

Abstract This study explores continuous and discontinuous word order patterns of multi-word nominal expressions in flexible word order languages (traditionally referred to as “free word order” or “non-configurational” languages). Besides describing syntagmatic patterns, this paper seeks to identify any functional or other correlates that can be associated with different word orders. The languages under investigation are a number of Australian languages as well as Vedic Sanskrit, all of which have long been known for their syntagmatic flexibility. With respect to continuous order, evidence from several of these languages suggests that default ordering is primarily governed by functional templates. Deviations from default order, while maintaining continuity, can be attributed to different types of “focus” interpretations or heaviness effects. With respect to discontinuous order, I identify three sub-types. The most widespread one, “Left-Edge Discontinuity”, involves one element placed in or near utterance-initial position. It shows a clear, if not an absolute, correlation with different kinds of focus interpretations, similarly to deviations from the default order in continuity. The other two types of discontinuity are linked to the behaviour of specific function words. Besides teasing out cross-linguistic similarities, this paper also sheds light on language-specific characteristics that affect the forms and functions of complex (i.e. multi-word) nominal expressions in flexible word order languages, such as the nature of 2nd position (“Wackernagel”) elements.
摘要本研究探讨了灵活语序语言(传统上称为“自由语序”或“非配置”语言)中多词名词表达的连续和不连续语序模式。除了描述组合模式外,本文还试图确定与不同语序相关的任何功能或其他相关性。被调查的语言包括许多澳大利亚语言以及吠陀梵语,所有这些语言长期以来都以其语法灵活性而闻名。关于连续排序,来自其中几种语言的证据表明,默认排序主要由函数模板控制。在保持连续性的同时,偏离默认顺序可能归因于不同类型的“焦点”解释或沉重影响。关于不连续顺序,我确定了三个子类型。最普遍的是“左边缘不连续性”,它涉及一个位于话语初始位置或接近话语初始位置的元素。它显示了与不同类型的焦点解释的明显(如果不是绝对的话)相关性,类似于连续性中与默认顺序的偏差。另外两种不连续性与特定虚词的行为有关。除了梳理跨语言的相似性外,本文还揭示了影响灵活语序语言中复杂(即多词)名词表达形式和功能的语言特定特征,如第二位置(“Wackernagel”)元素的性质。
