  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • The Bantu Relative Agreement Cycle
    prefinal version July 2020 Van de Velde, Mark. The Bantu Relative Agreement Cycle. to appear in Linguistics. The Bantu Relative Agreement Cycle Abstract This paper presents the Bantu Relative Agreement (BRA) cycle, a scenario of recurrent morphosyntactic change that involves the emergence of relativisers, which are subsequently integrated into the relative verb form, where they can ultimately replace the original subject agreement prefix. All logical outcomes at every stage of the cycle are amply attested in the languages of the Bantu family. The BRA cycle makes sense of many of the puzzling characteristics of relative clause constructions in the Bantu languages, especially in the domain of agreement. 1. Introduction Relative clause constructions in the Bantu languages differ from each other along a bewildering amount of parameters, some of which are correlated and typologically exceptional. This explains why they have received so much attention in the literature (e.g. Meeussen 1971a; Nsuka-Nkutsi 1982; Demuth & Harford 1999; Zeller 2004; Henderson 2007; Diercks 2009; Van der Wal 2010; Atindogbé & Grollemund 2017; Guérois & Creissels 2020). Parameters of variation include, among others, the position of the subject in non-subject relative clauses; the presence or absence of a relativiser; the position of the relativiser; the relativiser’s morphological status (word versus clitic versus affix); whether and how relative verb forms are morphologically different from non-relative verb forms; which paradigm of agreement markers is used in relative verb forms; whether this paradigm has 1st and 2nd person forms; and, finally, which element in the sentence controls agreement on the relative verb: its subject or the relativised NP.
