“…In the analysis we present below, we take s to be roughly similar to Stirling "structured eventuality index" but closer to McKenzie (2007McKenzie ( , 2010McKenzie ( , 2012 notion of "topic situations". Unlike propositions, which are taken to be true or false of an entire possible world, situations refer to parts of possible worlds.…”

“…We therefore follow these authors in including converbs in our discussion of SR. The paper will provide an analysis of the role of possessive relations in the licensing of one type of converbs, applying the basic ideas of Stirling's (1993), McKenzie (2007McKenzie ( , 2010McKenzie ( , 2012 and approaches to SR. We will discuss the data from selected Turkic languages only. These are: Altai, Bashkir, Kazakh, Kirghiz (or Kyrgyz), Old Turkic, Ottoman, Shor, Tatar, Turkish, Tuvan, Uzbek, and Uyghur.…”

Possessive and non-identity relations in Turkic switch-reference

This paper provides an overview of non-canonical patterns of switch-reference involving the converb in (V)p in selected Turkic languages. This converb is usually described as a same-subject converb, but we show that it can conform to McKenzie’s (2012) extended definition of “same-subject” as expressing the identity of topic situations, rather than subject referents. In addition to tracking cross-clausal subject identity, (V)p can be used when the possessor of the subject of one clause corefers with the subject of another clause and when the events expressed by the two clauses are in a close temporal and/or causal relationship. Based on Stirling (1993) and Bárány & Nikolaeva (2019), we argue that the role of possessors in Turkic switch-reference is captured by lexically specified conditions licensing the use of (V)p when two subjects are in a possessive relation. Finally, we suggest that both types of non-canonical switch-reference can be seen as ensuring discourse continuity.

“…existence of unvalued interpretable features is a natural result of the dissociation of interpretability and valuedness proposed inPesetsky & Torrego 2007. position, leaving a trace whose value corresponds to the index feature it has. With some additional assumptions, the result is a structure where where an honoree argument and an honorer argument are bound by the same abstractors as the object and subject positions, respectively.25 See alsoAdger & Harbour 2007, McKenzie 2012, Grosz 2015, Arregi & Hanink 2018, and Arregi & Hanink 2022 for the view that index features of some sort are visible to syntax.…”

Agree feeds interpretation: Evidence from Japanese object honorifics

The operation Agree is generally considered to lack direct semantic effects. Based on the Japanese object-honorific construction, this work claims that Agree can in fact interact with LF interpretation such that some semantic predicates select their arguments via Agree. More specifically, I claim that the object-honorific marker serves as a semantic predicate honor, which selects its arguments via Agree.Based on the distribution of the NP that can trigger object-honorific marking, the object-honorific marker seems to access the object via Agree, as previous studies have argued; I examine, however, the theoretically overlooked observation that object honorification is felicitous only when the object referent is honored by the subject referent as well as the speaker. Based on this observation and the result from previous studies, I argue that object-honorific morphology is semantically a predicate that takes two arguments, an honorer and an honoree, and finds those arguments via Agree.
