Kamang (Alor-Pantar, non-Austronesian/Papuan) has a typologically unusual system of argument indexing, in which the S or P argument can be indexed on the verb by one of several prefix paradigms. Some verbs always show indexing, while others exhibit differential argument indexing (DAI). In DAI, the use of a particular prefix paradigm or zero marking depends on different (combinations of) factors. We investigate the effects of argument role (S, P), independent argument realisation, the animacy and topicality of the indexed argument, and lexical stipulation. We perform a quantitative analysis of these factors for the first time in Kamang discourse, drawing on an annotated corpus of spoken Kamang. A complex picture emerges in which Kamang argument indexing is best viewed not as a single system, but as multiple subsystems for which different factors are relevant in a given context, and which do not operate on all verbs or all indexing strategies equally.
Kamang (Alor-Pantar,非南岛语/巴布亚语)有一个不同寻常的类型学参数索引系统,其中S或P参数可以通过几个前缀范式之一在动词上进行索引。有些动词总是显示索引,而其他动词则显示微分参数索引(DAI)。在DAI中,特定前缀范式或零标记的使用取决于不同(组合)因素。我们研究了论点角色(S, P),独立论点实现,索引论点的活力和话题性以及词汇规定的影响。我们在卡曼语话语中首次对这些因素进行定量分析,利用卡曼语口语的注释语料库。一个复杂的图景出现了,卡曼论点索引最好不要被视为一个单一的系统,而是作为多个子系统,在给定的上下文中,不同的因素是相关的,并不是对所有动词或所有索引策略都平等地起作用。

An OSV word order that deviates from the canonical SVO word order is typically viewed as derived through movement. This theory has been widely supported by psycholinguistic studies showing that the displaced constituents are mentally reactivated at the gap positions. However, some cognitive-functionalists have proposed an alternative account: in a topic-prominent language like Chinese, topic is the basic unit of a sentence that delimits the frame within which the main predication holds. The present study adopts the cross-modal antecedent priming technique to test whether the sentence-initial object is structurally associated with the verb in native speakers’ online processing. Results of two experiments show that the sentence-initial object is not associated with the verb whatsoever, neither lexically nor structurally, shedding light on the typological characteristics of Chinese as a topic-prominent language. However, the processing of the antecedent object was shown facilitated at the post-quantifier position.
一个偏离标准SVO语序的OSV语序通常被认为是通过移动产生的。这一理论得到了心理语言学研究的广泛支持,这些研究表明,在空缺位置,被取代的成分在心理上被重新激活。然而,一些认知功能学家提出了另一种解释:在像汉语这样以主题为重点的语言中,主题是句子的基本单位,它划定了主要谓词所处的框架。本研究采用跨模态先行词启动技术来检验本族语在线加工中句子开头宾语与动词是否存在结构关联。两个实验结果表明,句首宾语无论在词汇上还是在结构上都与动词没有任何关联,这揭示了汉语作为主题突出语言的类型特征。然而,在后量词位置,对先行词的加工更容易。

In Longxi Qiang, a Tibeto-Burman language, the verb agreement system is not marking a syntactic function or semantic role. Previous studies of the Qiang language have argued that person markings reflect the person and number of the agent. My analysis based on a large amount of natural data, however, reveals several different uses of person marking. First, person marking does not always agree with the agent. It can also be used to mark non-agent, such as the possessor, recipient, beneficiary, or patient. Second, the person markings in imperatives differ from those in non-imperatives. Finally, person marking may be omitted in certain contexts.
在藏缅语龙溪羌语中,动词的一致系统既不标示句法功能,也不标示语义角色。以前对羌语的研究认为,人的标记反映了代理人的人和数字。然而,我基于大量自然数据的分析揭示了几种不同的人物标记用法。首先,人的标记并不总是与代理一致。它也可用于标记非代理人,如所有人、接受者、受益人或患者。第二,祈使句中的人称标记与非祈使句中的不同。最后,在某些上下文中可以省略人物标记。

Phasal polarity in Tunisian Arabic 突尼斯阿拉伯语的相位极性

This paper gives a corpus-based descriptive account of the phasal polarity system (still, already, not yet, and no longer) in the Arabic vernacular of Tunisia. The aim is to broaden the empirical foundations for cross-linguistic research in this domain, and to narrow the gap between typologically oriented and philological research on Arabic varieties. Like many languages (van Baar 1997: 118), Tunisian Arabic has autochthonous expressions for the three concepts still, not yet, and no longer. still is primarily expressed via a construction < ‘has not ceased’. Despite its conceptual transparency, this appears to be a cross-linguistically uncommon source. not yet is expressed via the inner negation of still, and no longer via a construction < ‘has not repeated’. For already, northern sedentary varieties have borrowed from French (replacing an older autochthonous expression), whereas southern Bedouin varieties have a “gap” in their system. The description further includes notes on the synchronic and diachronic variation of individual items, and functions of these outside the realm of phasal polarity.
本文给出了一个基于语料库的描述相极性系统(仍然,已经,尚未,不再)在突尼斯的阿拉伯白话。目的是拓宽这一领域跨语言研究的经验基础,缩小阿拉伯语变体类型学研究和文献学研究之间的差距。像许多语言一样(van Baar 1997: 118),突尼斯阿拉伯语对这三个概念仍然,还没有,也不再有本土表达。Still主要通过结构< ' has not stopped '来表达。尽管它的概念透明,这似乎是一个跨语言不常见的来源。Not yet通过still的内部否定来表达,而不再通过结构< ' has Not repeat '来表达。北部定居的品种已经从法语中借用(取代了一个更古老的本土表达),而南部贝都因的品种在他们的体系中有一个“缺口”。该描述进一步包括对单个项目的共时性和历时性变化的注释,以及这些在相位极性领域之外的功能。

The constructional categorization of Saisiyat multi-predicate sentences 赛思雅多谓语句的构式分类

This study investigates the constructional categorization of multi-predicate sentences in Saisiyat. This type of complex sentences simultaneously involves features of serial verb construction and complementation in Saisiyat, which give rise to indeterminacy in constructional categorization. In order to solve this problem, the current study probes into the categorization between serial verb construction and complementation regarding Aarts’ (2007) constructional gradience and semantic relations (Van Valin & LaPolla 1997). The investigation demonstrates a discrete boundary between the two constructions with convergence on each other, while subtypes of multi-predicate sentences are aligned on the convergence based on intra- and inter-categorical relations. Two structural dependencies are proposed to carry out a taxonomy of Saisiyat complex sentences. A theoretical implication derives from this study that Saisiyat multi-predicate sentences are manifestations of formalized morphosyntactic configurations with a pairing of particularized semantic relations instead of coinage based on analogic conventionalization (Fillmore 1997; Goldberg 2019).
本研究探讨了赛赛亚语多谓语句的构式分类。这类复句同时包含了赛赛亚语中连续动词结构和补语的特点,造成了构式范畴的不确定性。为了解决这一问题,本研究从Aarts(2007)的结构梯度和语义关系(Van Valin & LaPolla 1997)的角度探讨了序列动词结构和补语之间的分类。研究表明,两种结构之间存在离散边界,彼此收敛,而多谓语句的子类型则基于范畴内和范畴间关系的收敛而对齐。提出了两种结构依赖关系对赛西雅特复句进行分类。该研究提出了一个理论启示,即Saisiyat多谓语句是形式化的形态句法构型的表现,具有特定语义关系的配对,而不是基于类比惯例化的造词(Fillmore 1997;戈德堡2019)。

Early Vedic compounds 早期吠陀复方

Erica Biagetti
Despite a longstanding tradition of studies in Sanskrit compounds, a description that enables comparisons in cross-linguistic perspective has not yet been worked out. The present article follows classificatory criteria introduced by Bisetto & Scalise (2005, 2009) and sketches a typology of compounds in the most archaic variety of Sanskrit, Early Vedic, as transmitted by the RigVeda. Analyzing compounds on the basis of the grammatical relations holding between their constituents provides a classification into coordinate, subordinate, and attributive compounds, with the endocentric/exocentric divide cutting across all classes. In order to identify the position of Early Vedic compounds on the syntax-morphology continuum, the article investigates the degree of cohesiveness at the level of morphology, prosody, syntax, and semantics. With this respect, the RigVeda offers a varied picture where relics of archaic, less cohesive forms occur side-to-side with more productive and word-like ones.
尽管对梵语复合词的研究有着悠久的传统,但从跨语言的角度进行比较的描述尚未得到解决。本文遵循Bisetto和Scalise(2005,2009)提出的分类标准,并概述了由梨俱吠陀(RigVeda)传播的最古老的梵语、早期吠陀(Early Vedic)中化合物的类型学。根据成分之间的语法关系来分析复合词,可以将其分为坐标复合词、从属复合词和定语复合词,并将所有类别划分为内中心/外中心。为了确定早期吠陀复合语在句法-形态连续体上的位置,本文从形态、韵律、句法和语义等层面考察了早期吠陀复合语的衔接程度。在这方面,《梨俱吠陀》提供了一幅不同的画面,在那里,古老的、凝聚力较弱的形式的遗迹与更富有成效的、类似文字的形式并排出现。

Variable index placement in Gutob from a typological perspective 从类型学的角度来看,Gutob中的可变索引位置

In Gutob (Munda, India) S/A indexes can attach to other hosts apart from the verb, unconstrained by syntax. Previous studies have described non-verbal index placement in Gutob as exceptional, establishing verbal indexes as the default. This paper presents the first case study on the placement of Gutob indexes based on corpus data. Our analysis shows that although index placement in Gutob is in fact conditioned by discourse effects, non-verbal clitics cannot be considered particularly exceptional. They are employed to allocate attention to constituents and express engagement with a particular piece of information. In other languages where index placement is similarly flexible, it has been ascribed to the host being in focus. However, we argue although the effects of index placement in Gutob might pertain to what is usually subsumed under this category, other effects like newness, quantification, requested information or negation are not necessarily associated with index placement in Gutob.
在Gutob(印度Munda)中,S/A索引可以附加到动词以外的其他主机上,不受语法的限制。先前的研究将非语言索引的放置描述为例外,将语言索引建立为默认值。本文提出了基于语料库数据的Gutob索引放置的第一个案例研究。我们的分析表明,尽管Gutob中的索引位置实际上受到话语效应的制约,但非言语评论不能被视为特别例外。他们被用来分配对选民的关注,并表达对特定信息的参与。在索引位置同样灵活的其他语言中,它被归因于所关注的主机。然而,我们认为,尽管索引在Gutob中放置的影响可能属于这一类别,但其他影响,如新颖性、量化、请求的信息或否定,并不一定与索引在Gutob中的放置有关。

A cross-linguistic syntactic analysis of telicity in motion predicates in Southern Tati, Mandarin, and Ghanaian Student Pidgin 南塔地语、普通话和加纳学生洋泾浜语中运动谓词遥性的跨语言句法分析

This paper proposes an analysis of telicity in motion predicates within the framework of the Exo-Skeletal Model (Borer 2005b). We hypothesize that a motion event is syntactically represented by a Path component, the core of which is a vP that introduces a Figure argument. This Path component is interpreted as quantity in the sense of Borer (2005b) when there is a certain type of morpheme present in the structure, such as a verb that denotes the reaching of an endpoint. A quantity Path component can then assign a semantic value to a functional projection called AspQP, which returns a telic interpretation. Data from Mandarin, Ghanaian Student Pidgin, and Southern Tati show AspQP can be assigned a value either with or without overt head movement. We further propose a distinction between Path and direction, which explains data that were left unexplained in previous studies and seemingly contradict our claim.
本文提出了外骨骼模型(Borer 2005b)框架内运动谓词的遥性分析。我们假设运动事件在语法上由Path组件表示,Path组件的核心是一个vP,它引入了一个Figure参数。在Borer (2005b)的意义上,当结构中存在某种类型的语素时,例如表示终点到达的动词,Path成分被解释为数量。然后,数量路径组件可以将语义值分配给称为AspQP的功能投影,该投影返回远程解释。来自普通话、加纳学生皮钦语和南塔蒂语的数据显示,AspQP在有或没有明显头部运动的情况下都可以被赋予一个值。我们进一步提出了路径和方向之间的区别,这解释了之前研究中未解释的数据,似乎与我们的说法相矛盾。

We further propose a distinction between Path and direction, which explains data that were left unexplained in previous\u0000 studies and seemingly contradict our claim.","PeriodicalId":46377,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Language","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90591509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present work attempts to examine the relationship between grammar and discourse. (i) First, it compares Warrongo (an ergative language that has antipassives and an S/O pivot) and English (an accusative language that has passives and an S/A pivot). Despite these polar opposite morphosyntactic characteristics, Warrongo and English behave almost in the same way in discourse – in terms of new mentions, lexical mentions and topic continuity. There are, however, two differences in discourse. First, Warrongo antipassives and S/O pivot have much higher functional loads than English passives and S/A pivot. Second, Warrongo antipassives have a use that English passives do not have. (ii) Then, the present work shows that grammar and discourse are not independent of each other and that they share one principle. The hierarchy of “O > S > A” is attested in grammar and discourse crosslinguistically and irrespective of the morphosyntactic types of the languages concerned.
本文试图探讨语法与语篇之间的关系。(1)首先,比较了瓦朗戈语(一种否定语,有反被动语和S/O支点)和英语(一种宾格语,有被动语和S/O支点)。尽管有这些截然相反的形态句法特征,Warrongo语和英语在话语中的表现几乎是相同的——在新提及、词汇提及和话题连续性方面。然而,在话语上有两点不同。首先,Warrongo语被动语和S/O枢轴比英语被动语和S/A枢轴具有更高的功能负荷。其次,瓦朗戈语的反被动语态有英语被动语态所没有的用法。(ii)然后,目前的工作表明,语法和语篇不是相互独立的,它们共享一个原则。“O > S > A”的层次结构在语法和语篇中得到了交叉语言学的证明,而与相关语言的形态句法类型无关。
