“…Insgesamt dominiert bei der VP sog. "dependent marking" (Nichols 1986 Nach einer anderen morphosyntaktischen Typisierung ist das L der Prototyp einer Nominativ-Akkusativ-Sprache, weil in ihm gegenüber einer Ergativsprache das Subjekt eines intransitiven Satzes genauso markiert wird wie das Agens eines transitiven Satzes (Dixon 1994: 9;Lazard 1998: 26-29):…”

Gualtharius Calboli Lectori S.P.D. Has litteras ita te rogo, lector, accipias, tamquam et tibi et his libris conscribendis edendis uale iam dicere pergam. Ad decimum enim uolumen peruenimus, quod non sine aliqua admiratione me fateor commemorare, qui memoria teneam, quanto labore quantaque patientia uolumen primum et alterum sine computer, quod appellant, confecerimus. Nouam prope seriem nunc aperiendam nouumque iter non sine causa quis dixerit esse ineundum. Quod ita probamus, ut hoc consilium, nulla interposita mora, accipiendum esse dicamus. Nouum igitur corpus, ut ita dicam, nouamque formam struendam suscepimus, dum uestem ipsam piget immutare. Quippe collegas addidimus, qui Consilio et opera nos adiuuare possent eosque collegimus, qui optime de lingua Latina (et Graeca) et de linguarum ratione et arte possent disputare. Principes nempe elegimus, qui sua quisque in terra grammaticam summo audientium plausu docere et subtiliter inuestigare consuessent quique nobiscum longa iam essent consuetudine coniuncti et libris nostris conscribendis nonnumquam interfuissent. Nec satis est. Namque Romanae rei publicae exemplum secuti, quae primum per singulos reges, dein per binos cónsules regi coepta esset, ad hanc potissimum rei gerendae rationem deuenimus duosque editores elegimus. Quo mitiore autem et humaniore, ut ita dicam, more nos gereremus, priorem regem non eiciendum de urbe ñeque aqua et igni interdicendum ei esse credidimus -in Gemonias mallent eum ferociores fortassis coniectum -, sed in imperii noui iungendum potius esse societatem. Cónsules igitur dum efßcimus duos, ueterem regem non repudiauimus et illum ipsum consulem creauimus. Cur ita ? Quod non ita superbe, ut Tarquinius, se gesserai -dixerit quispiam. Quoniam sapientius uel cautius ita se gesserai -melius quis addai -, ut superbiam seu reprimerei, seu celaret seseque mortalem ducerei et eum, qui, si non ferro, at senio saltem confici posset et annis. Hue adde, quod multa erant profecto, quae rex uetus teneret, quae Consilio et ratione moderare facile posset quaeque nemo alius pari Brought to you by | Nanyang Technological University Authenticated Download Date | 6/22/15 6:01 PM Vili Gualtharius Calboli ad exitum moderatione perducere. Vno uerbo iam dicam, nauem regere qui multis iam annis et per dolosos Academiae scopulos didicisset, fieri nullo pacto poterai, ut is deiceretur de naui. Quod praeterea sine sanguine non accidisset, cum et ipse rex uetus et sui et clauum et malum et remos et uela omnia diutius iam ministrarent. Deuentum est igitur ad consulem alterum, iuuenem scilicet doctrina spectatum et moribus, qui Longobarda ex terra ualde iam deferuisset multumque de pristina Langobardorum ferocia remisisset, Petrum Aloisium Cuzzolin. Ab undécimo igitur uolumine editores apparebunt duo, Gualtharius uidelicet Calboli et Petrus Aloisius Cuzzolin. Nunc perpauca de iis, quae hoc uolumine continentur. Iis omnibus in primis gratias agendas puto, qui disputationibus suis huic libro conscribendo componendo operam dederunt et noua protulerunt, quae speramus ...

“…Passamaquoddy is a head-marking language (Nichols 1986) with very free word order. Verbs (and nouns) can be quite complex morphologically, and they index all of their arguments in agreement morphology (though not in all syntactic contexts).…”

Wh-in-Situ: Mandarin ChineseThe paradigm example of a wh-in-situ language is (Mandarin) Chinese. An example of a whquestion in this language appears in (1). The wh-word appears in the same position as a non-wh object, and it is not fronted as in English.(1) Hufei chi-le shenme ne?Hufei eat-ASP what Q 'What did Hufei eat?' (Cheng 1991:112) An important question since at least Chomsky 1976 and Huang 1982 has been the proper analysis of wh-in-situ languages. Part of the quest for the proper analysis has been the search for Remarks and Replies Wh-in-Situ Does Not Correlate with Wh-Indefinites or Question Particles Benjamin BrueningTwo theories, the Clausal Typing Hypothesis (Cheng 1991) and the unselective binding theory of wh-in-situ, have linked wh-in-situ to two other phenomena typologically: the use of a question particle, and the use of wh-words as indefinites. This article shows, through a typological survey and a detailed comparison of Passamaquoddy and Mandarin Chinese, that there is no connection between wh-in-situ and either property. Passamaquoddy uses wh-words as indefinites in all the contexts Chinese does, but it is a robust wh-movement language. Crosslinguistically, languages of all possible types are attested: most crucially, wh-in-situ languages without question particles exist, and wh-in-situ languages that do not use wh-words as indefinites also exist. In fact, most languages, regardless of whether they are wh-movement or whin-situ languages, have question particles, and most languages use whwords as indefinites.
