I’m getting pretty conferenced-out, but I’m gonna do one last talk: Lehman and Major on hiatus resolution in Avatime. #acal50
Bowler and Gluckman: one verb in #Logoori (#Bantu) has a three-way polysemy (arrive/must/enough) that suggests paths, degrees and possible worlds can all be scaled #ACAL50 #semantics
Using this diagnostic, we can identify certain purposives that alternate between vP and CP. Both have A’ gaps, which implies that vP has an A’ probe independent of higher structure. #acal50
In finite clauses, object clitics always climb to the subject particle. In infinitives, they only climb if you have some additional structure. Martinovic 2015: infinitives are normally vP; clitics only climb if the clause is bigger than that. #acal50
Now we’re hearing from Elise Newman about vP infinitives in Wolof. #acal50
.@mayalbarzilai and Khalil (@Georgetown): two different assimilation patterns in two different affixes in #Nobiin (#Sudanic) motivate a Cophonlogy Theory analysis #acal50 #phonology #morphology
The embedding verbs that allow this crosslinguistically tend to involve restructuring. Maybe that’s what’s going on? More investigation is needed. #acal50
These constructions seem to be multiclausal, but having an overt C prevents the word-order alternation! #acal50
Gã disallows OV order in many contexts where related languages require it. But certain modal multiverb constructions optionally allow it. #acal50
Next up: Sampson Korsah on VO-OV alternations in Gã. #acal50
To really investigate this, we need naturally occurring speech: what activities do people use multiverb constructions to describe? #acal50
Animere is a highly-endangered Ghana-Togo Mountains language, fewer than 30 speakers. In multiverb constructions, you must repeat most subjects, sometimes aspect. #acal50
There is no object sharing in Akan: inanimate 3nd person pronouns are null! If you have an animate object, you must have a pronoun in VP2. This, plus tense and polarity doubling, mean that these are covert coordination. #acal50
Last morning of #acal50! The syntax session is starting off with James Essegbey telling us about how Animere doesn’t have serial verb constructions, and Akan doesn’t either.
Remijsen (plenary): there’s evidence that #Shilluk (#Nilotic) has floating quantity, ie a moraic suffix that docks on and lengthens a vowel-initial prefix on the following word (!) #acal50 #phonology #morphology #phonetics
Wang (@Georgetown): imperatives in #Guébie (#Kwa) reveal a more complex clausal structure than declaratives and provide evidence for V to C movement #ACAL50 #syntax
The question at issue: are Bantu singulars and plurals really in different classes? Conjoined singulars usually take default agreement, even when they share a class; Taraldsen et al argue this means plurals are really in a different class. #acal50
