Two paths to habituality
This paper presents a detailed description and formal semantic analysis of habitual sentences in Tlingit (Na-Dene; Alaska, British Columbia, Yukon). As in many other languages (Carlson 2005, 2012), there are two means in Tlingit for expressing a habitual statement, such as my father eats salmon. The first employs a relatively unmarked verb, realizing imperfective aspect. In the second type of habitual sentence, however, the verb bears special hab…
The good, the 'not good', and the 'not pretty
The implicatures of optional past tense in Tlingit and the implications for ‘discontinuous past’
The Expression of Modality in Tlingit
This paper provides an in-depth description of the expression of modal categories in Tlingit (Na-Dene; Alaska). Epistemic, deontic, and circumstantial modal statements are examined, and for each I examine statements with strong and weak modal force. A notable feature of the Tlingit system is that—relative to other languages of the Pacific Northwest—Tlingit exhibits a striking paucity of grammaticalized modal expressions, and only a limited subset…
Distributive numerals and distance distributivity in Tlingit (and beyond)
This article develops a formal semantic and syntactic analysis of distributive numerals in Tlingit, a highly endangered language of Alaska, British Columbia, and the Yukon. Such numerals enforce a ‘distributive reading’ of the sentence, and thus are one instance of the broader phenomenon of ‘distance distributivity’ (Zimmermann 2002). As in many other languages, a Tlingit sentence containing a distributive numeral can describe two distinct kinds …
Beyond the past, present, and future
Pied-Piping
The term ‘pied‐piping’ is used by linguists to refer to structures where a movement operation applies to a constituent that is in some sense ‘larger than expected’. More precisely, pied‐piping occurs when a movement operation that usually targets expressions of a particular type ( e.g. wh‐words) instead targets a phrase that contains an expression of that type. Pied‐piping structures have long been a deep and difficult puzzle for formal syntactic…

A New Argument for Lexical Decomposition
Percus (2000) has argued that subordinate verbs do not admit of transparent (de re) readings. In this squib, I will argue that such verbs in English do admit of a kind of transparent reading. Furthermore, this particular reading suggests that, at some level of syntactic and/or semantic analysis, verbs must be decomposed into a primitive action predicate (i.e., "do") and a nominal argument describing the action performed. That is, this reading sug…
The Grammar of Q
'The Grammar of Q' puts forth a novel syntactic and semantic analysis of wh-questions, based on an in-depth study of the Tlingit language, an endangered and under-documented Native American tongue. A major conclusion is that the phenomenon classically dubbed 'pied-piping' does not actually exist.
Against the Existence of Pied-Piping
I argue that pied-piping, as traditionally understood, might not exist. I reanalyze classic examples from English and other well-studied languages in light of new data from Tlingit, an understudied and endangered language of Alaska. I argue that the initial appearance of piedpiping in Tlingit is misleading and actually reflects structures where no true pied-piping occurs. I then show that a similar analysis is possible for putative cases of pied-…
