In fact, the limits of the project are not so clear. It started when I first heard about linguistics, and it will end when we all stop thinking about transparency, which hopefully will not be the case any time soon. Moreover, even though I might have spent most time and effort to ‘complete’ this project, it is definitely not just my work. Many people have contributed directly or indirectly, by thinking about transparency, or thinking about me.

Why it*s as much as I can do to see real people, by this light!,... ABSTRACT This thesis focuses upon two related goals. The first is the development of an explanatory account of Specific Language Impairment (SLI) that can effectively capture the variety and complexity of the children’s grammatical deficit. The second is to embed this account within a restrictive theoretical framework. Taking as a starting point the broad characterisation of the children’s deficit, developed by Heather van der Lely in her RDDR (Representational Deficit for Dependant Relations) research program, I refine and extend her position by proposing a number of principled generalisations upon which a theoretical explanation can be based.

  • Compound Case in Bodic Languages
    Case Compounding in the Bodic Languages Michael Noonan University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 1. introduction Case compounding has received a certain amount of attention in the literature in recent years, in particular the phenomenon known as Suffixaufnahme [e.g. in Plank 1995a] and the various sorts of case compounding in Australian languages, some of which manifest Suffixaufnahme and other types of case compounding. There has been relatively less attention paid to the phenomenon outside of these two areas of research, and this paper is an attempt to rectify the situation somewhat by presenting data from a large family of languages, the Bodic languages, spoken in the areas straddling the spine of the Himala- yas. 1.1 bodic languages: The Bodic languages are a large and ramified branch of the Ti- beto-Burman languages.1 It is a controversial grouping in the sense that there is no con- sensus as to what should be placed within it and indeed whether it is a legitimate ge- netic grouping at all or just an assemblage of Tibeto-Burman languages that have been spoken in the region of the Himalayas long enough for the languages to have influ- enced each other in a variety of ways. A figure illustrating possible relationships among the Bodic languages can be found in Appendix 1. For our purposes, nothing crucial hinges on the assumption that these languages form a genetic grouping. It suffices that structurally these languages share certain fea- tures, among which is a tendency to compound markers of case within a phonological word. 1.2 definition of case compounding: We will define case compounding as the inclu- sion of two or more case markers within a phonological word.

  • One Feature Versus Two for Kayardild Tense-Aspect-Mood
    Morphology DOI 10.1007/s11525-016-9294-3 The theory of feature systems: One feature versus two for Kayardild tense-aspect-mood Erich R. Round1,2 · Greville G. Corbett2 Received: 21 October 2015 / Accepted: 5 May 2016 © The Author(s) 2016. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Features are central to all major theories of syntax and morphology. Yet it can be a non-trivial task to determine the inventory of features and their values for a given language, and in particular to determine whether to postulate one feature or two in the same semantico-syntactic domain. We illustrate this from tense-aspect- mood (TAM) in Kayardild, and adduce principles for deciding in general between one-feature and two-feature analyses, thereby contributing to the theory of feature systems and their typology. Kayardild shows striking inflectional complexities, investigated in two major stud- ies (Evans 1995a; Round 2013), and it proves particularly revealing for our topic. Both Evans and Round claimed that clauses in Kayardild have not one but two con- current TAM features. While it is perfectly possible for a language to have two fea- tures of the same type, it is unusual. Accordingly, we establish general arguments which would justify postulating two features rather than one; we then apply these specifically to Kayardild TAM. Our finding is at variance with both Evans and Round; on all counts, the evidence which would motivate an analysis in terms of one TAM feature or two is either approximately balanced, or clearly favours an analysis with just one.

  • Insubordination and Its ·Uses •
    11 Insubordination and its ·uses NICHOLAS EVANS • 11.1 Introduction -- Prototypical finite clauses are main clauses-indeed, the ability to occur in a main clause is often taken as definitional for finiteness, e.g. by Crystal (1997: 427 }l-and prototypical nonfinite clauses are subordinate clauses. Problems thus arise when clauses that would by standard criteria be analysed as non­ finite are used as main clauses; examples are the use in main clauses of the English bare infinitive go (1a) or Spanish ir in (1b) (both from Etxepare and Grohmann 2005: 129), or the Italian and German infinitives used to express commands in (2). (1) a. John go to the movies?! No way, man. b. diYo ir a esa fiesta?! iJamas! l.SG go.INF to this party never 'Me go to that party? Never!' (2) a. Alza-r-si, porc-i, av-ete cap-ito?

I thank Frans Plank for inviting me to revise it for the present volume, thereby rescuing it from further neglect, and Irina Nikolaeva for her subsequent editorial comments.

  • Case: Oblique, Inherent, Semantic, Quirky Avery D
    Case: Oblique, Inherent, Semantic, Quirky Avery D. Andrews The Australian National University Avery.Andrewsanu.ed.au abstract: In the last several decades, a variety of terminology has been developed for describing case-marking patterns and uses of case-marking. Here I will review the related concepts of semantic, oblique and quirky/inherent case, discussing their development, and how they have been applied to describe case systems in various languages, with the sorts of problems that arise in trying to discriminate them from other kinds of case phenomena. keywords: case, structural case, quirky case, inherent case, grammatical relation, core grammatical relation, adjunct, oblique 1 Prior to the 1970s, and well into them, both theoretical and descriptive studies of case tended to merely list the various cases found in a language with their names and discussions of how they were used, without attempting to classify cases into types, or to theorize about what kinds of underlying mechanisms might be responsible for different kinds of behavior. Blake (1977) illustrates this approach. But during the seventies and later, various broader classifications were developed and came to be widely used, and connected to theoretical proposals. For example Chomsky (1981, pp. 170-171) has a distinction between ‘structural’ and ‘inherent’ case, the former imposed by various structural conditions, and the latter by specific lexical items, while Blake (1994, pp. 124-124) has a division between ‘grammatical’ and ‘semantic’. Further terms and divisions have been introduced, such as ‘quirky’, but with little consistency between authors. In this chapter, we will consider cases and case uses that have been described as ‘semantic’, ‘lexical’, ‘inherent’, ‘oblique’ and ‘quirky’.

  • Some Problems from Kayardild
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The Australian National University TYPOLOGIES OF AGREEMENT: SOME PROBLEMS FROM KAYARDILD BY NICHOLAS EVANS University of Melbourne ‘that rarity, nouns.., those most reluctant agreers, agreeing in case, of all categories’ (Plank 1995:32) ABSTRACT In this paper I describe a number of agreement-type phenomena in the Australian language Kayardild, and assess them against existing definitions stating both the boundaries of what is to be considered agreement, and characteristics of prototypical agreement phenomena. Though conforming, prima facie, to definitions of agreement that stress semantically-based covariance in inflections on different words, the Kayardild phenomena considered here pose a number of challenges to accepted views of agreement: the rich possibilities for stacking case-like agreement inflections emanating from different syntactic levels, the fact that inflections resulting from agreement may change the word class of their host, and the semantic categories involved, in particular tense/aspect/mood, which has been claimed not to be an agreement category on nominals. Two types of inflection, in particular – ‘modal case’ and ‘associating case’ – lie somewhere between prototypical agreement and prototypical government. Like agreement, and unlike government, they are triggered by inflectional rather than lexical features of the head, and appear on more than one constituent; like government, but unlike agreement, the semantic categories on head and dependent are not isomorphic. Other types of inflection, though unusual in the categories involved, the possibility of recursion, and their effects on the host’s word-class, are close to prototypical in terms in how they fare in Corbett’s proposed tests for canonical agreement.
