  • SPLIT-ERGATIVITY in HITTITE Petra Goedegebuure (University of Chicago)
    Published in: Zeitschrift für Assyriologie und vorderasiatische Archäologie. Volume 102, Issue 2, Pages 270–303, ISSN (Online) 1613-1150, ISSN (Print) 0084-5299, DOI: 10.1515/za- 2012-0015, January 2013 1 SPLIT-ERGATIVITY IN HITTITE Petra Goedegebuure (University of Chicago) “it is possible that all languages show ergativity on some level” (McGregor 2009, 482) 1. Introduction2 As a highly heterogeneous phenomenon ergativity remains a conundrum for linguistic theory. The ergative case has been treated as a structural case, an inherent/lexical case, or rather as a mix (Butt 2006). Split-ergativity is thought to arise as an epiphenomenon, as ‘collateral damage’ of diachronic change after reinterpretation of passive constructions with instrumentals (Dixon 1994) or through reanalysis of transitive null-subject clauses with inanimate instrumentals (Garrett 1990b). Alternatively, case assignment and therefore also split-ergativity ultimately depends on synchronic structural properties of the clause (Merchant 2006). It has been claimed that only 25% of the world’s languages shows ergativity (Van de Visser 2006), or that “all languages show ergativity on some level” (McGregor 2009, 482). Irrespective of the correct ratio, split-ergativity seems to be the norm among languages that show ergativity. When the ergative split is based on semantic features of noun phrases, it is generally assumed that animacy plays a major role. Silverstein (1976) has shown that pronouns and nouns can be hierarchically arranged based on semantic features such as person, number, or grammatical gender. The strength of this hierarchy is that if agent marking is attested for the first time at a certain point in the hierarchy, all nominals lower in the hierarchy will carry agent marking as well.

Through this study, attempt to answer--or at least bring attention to--such questions as, Why do some nouns have consimi Jar adjec­ tives, others collateral adjectives, and still others both consimilar and collateral adjectives? What etymological, morphological, and phonologi­ cal similarities and differences do common nouns, consimilar adjectives, and collateral adjectives manifest?

  • The Distribution of Differential Object Marking in Paraguayan Guaraní
    THE DISTRIBUTION OF DIFFERENTIAL OBJECT MARKING IN PARAGUAYAN GUARANÍ THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Masters of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Cory Adam Shain, B.A. ******** The Ohio State University 2009 Approved By: Master’s Examination Committee: Dr. Judith Tonhauser, Advisor Dr. Peter W. Culicover, Advisor Dr. Scott A. Schwenter Advisors Linguistics Graduate Program Copyright by Cory Adam Shain 2009 ABSTRACT Differential Object Marking (DOM), the marking of some but not all direct objects in a given language, is active in over 300 languages around the world. I examine the distribution of DOM in Paraguayan Guaraní by evaluating transitive clauses in a corpus of naturally-occurring Guaraní data with respect to several fac- tor groups. I find animacy and topicality to have the strongest relationship with object-marking frequency and show that human topical objects are frequently marked, while non-human and/or non-topical ob- jects are infrequently marked. I then examine a Guaraní corpus published in 1640, prior to substantial Spanish contact, and do not find any clear instances of DOM. This supports the hypothesis that DOM evolved in Guaraní as a result of Spanish influence, though I also show that DOM is not distributionally equivalent in Spanish and Guaraní today. The relevance of topicality to DOM in Guaraní is unaccounted for by the two main theories of DOM, what I call the "markedness approach" and the "transitivity ap- proach," which only appeal to animacy and definiteness. Thus the current study motivates incorporating topicality into these theories.

  • Suppletion in Morphology Pdf
    Suppletion in morphology pdf Continue In linguistics and etymology, elasticity is traditionally understood as the use of one word as an inflectional form of another word when the two words are not co-ordained. For those who study the language, flexible forms will be considered as irregular or even very irregular. The term superiority implies that the gap in the paradigm was filled by a form supplied by a different paradigm. Cases of elasticity are overwhelmingly limited to the most commonly used lexical elements in the language. The irregular and elasticity of the Irregular Paradigm is a paradigm in which the derivative forms of the word cannot be derived from simple rules from the basic form. For example, someone who knows only a little English may conclude that the plurality of girls are girls, but cannot conclude that the plurality of men are men. Language learners are often the most aware of irregular verbs, but any part of speech with inflections can be irregular. For most synchronous purposes - research on the acquisition of the first language, psycholinguistics, theory of language teaching - it is enough to note that these forms are irregular. However, historical linguistics seeks to explain how they came to be so and distinguishes different types of disturbances depending on their origin. Most irregular paradigms (e.g. man: men) can be explained by phonological events that have influenced one form of the word, but not the other (in this case, the German umlaut). In such cases, the historical forerunners of the present forms once represented a conventional paradigm. Historical linguistics uses the term elasticity to distinguish between disorders such as human: humans or cows: cattle, which cannot be explained so because parts of the paradigm did not develop from the same form.

  • The Notion of Collocation in English with Reference to Arabic Ahmed Bashir AL-Kattan Abstract
    Buhuth Mustaqbaliya (18) 2007 PP. [7-17] The Notion of Collocation in English with Reference to Arabic Ahmed Bashir AL-Kattan (1) collocation Abstract This paper is an attempt to examine thoroughly the notion of collocation in English along with explaining some other relevant points related to it. Some examples from Arabic will be given here and there, as the need arises. The main structural types of collocation will be mentioned in passing too. (1) Lecturer, Dept. of English, College of Education, University of Mosul. Received: 22/03/2006 Accepted: 12/06/2007 Ahmed Bashir AL-Kattan 1. Introduction In its essence, collocation or equally so, linguistic company, word patterns, conventional word combinations, is a matter of sequences of lexical items, which habitually co-occur (Cruse, 1986, 40). It is the linguistic company that a lexical item or word keeps with other words, phrases, prepositions and even affixes. So different grammatical units like preposition and noun (e.g. to go by train but not on foot), adjective and preposition (e.g. good at language but not in), adjective and noun (tall man but not high), etc. are used together to create patterns (McCarthy, 2001:2). Equally so, we are used to saying in Arabic and so on. That is to say, speakers design their language to have some specific patterns to attribute situated identities and specific activities. These various grammatical units collocate with each other and they are called collocational patterns (Gee, 1999:29). So people, for example, used to say swarm of bees but not pack which is usually used to refer to a group of dogs or wolves.
