Pronominal affixes, the best of both worlds: the case of Yurakaré¹

Pronominal affixes in polysynthetic languages have an ambiguous status in the sense that they have characteristics normally associated with free pronouns as well as characteristics associated with agreement markers. This situation arises because pronominal affixes represent intermediate stages in a diachronic development from independent pronouns to agreement markers. Because this diachronic change is not abrupt, pronominal affixes can show different characteristics from language to language. By presenting an in-depth discussion of the pronominal affixes of Yurakare´, an unclassified language from Bolivia, I argue that these so-called intermediate stages as typically attested in polysynthetic languages actually represent economical systems that combine advantages of agreement markers and of free pronouns. In terms of diachronic development, such 'intermediate' systems, being functionally well-adapted, appear to be rather stable, and it can even be reinforced by subsequent diachronic developments.

“…The system of definiteness marking in Hungarian is much more complex than this, and raises some interesting questions on the relativity of the notion of definiteness (see Kenesei et al 1998: 321–7). For the current paper, it suffices to show that definiteness can have a place in the verbal conjugation paradigm.…”

“…A Hungarian word whose first syllable is stressed has the potential to be prosodically focused at the post‐lexical level. Kenesei et al (1998: 428) claim that post‐lexical prominence in Hungarian is marked by increased levels of intensity (i.e. loudness, the amount of sound), either in addition to or instead of sharp changes in pitch.…”

Constituent question formation and focus: a new typological perspective

All languages have strategies which enable speakers to ask constituent (‘wh’‐) questions. Of the strategies available, three types based on the notion of movement are usually cited in the literature: in situ, multiple fronting, and simple fronting. However, data reveal that focusing is the defining characteristic of constituent question formation cross‐linguistically. This paper therefore adopts a different approach, presenting a unified analysis within the non‐derivational framework of Lexical‐Functional Grammar which captures the relevant generalisations about focusing and in turn provides a fresh perspective on the typology of constituent question formation strategies.1

Optimality Theory and Morphology

This article introduces Realization Optimality Theory, a novel and promising morphological framework which adopts the formalism of Optimality Theory and encodes the morphological realization rules of, for example, Aronoff (1994) as ranked violable constraints. These language‐particular realization constraints are interspersed with universal markedness constraints of morphology. This treatment of morphological realization in terms of constraints successfully accounts for various widely discussed morphological phenomena such as blocking and extended morphological exponence, the emergence of an unmarked morph under morpho‐phonological conditions, syncretism and partial identity of forms.
