Marcación Diferencial De Objeto Y Referencialidad en Quichua Santiagueño
El quichua santiagueo (quechua, Argentina) es una lengua de alineamiento nominativo-acusativo con marcacin de casos en los dependientes. En esta investigacin se sostiene que la distribucin del sufijo de caso acusativo (-ta) no responde exclusivamente al parmetro sintctico, sino que dicha marcacin es sensible a las propiedades semnticas del referente que se expresa. La distribucin del marcador -ta interacta con otros constituyentes y sufijos de la…
Semantic maps and typological hierarchies
Although semantic maps and typological hierarchies are different analytical tools and make different predictions, there is, arguably, a particular kind of a semantic map that shares certain features with typological hierarchies, in particular, the property of directionality. First, we briefly illustrate that such maps are based on the notion of local markedness and are designed to model the interaction between grammatical categories. We then expl…

Animacy shifts and resolution of semantic conflicts
Contrastive Studies in Verbal Valency
In recent years, issues of verbal valency, valency alternations and verb classes have seen a new upsurge of interest from a variety of perspectives. This book comprises articles investigating valency phenomena on a contrastive basis within Romance, Germanic and Slavic, and also in Basque and in the West-African language Ga, as well as classical Greek and Sanskrit. Phenomena include transitive and ditransitive constructions and alternations, invol…

Impersonal Constructions
Impersonal constructions
"This volume offers a much needed typological perspective on impersonal constructions, which are here viewed broadly as constructions lacking a referential subject. The contributions to this volume deal with all types of impersonality, namely constructions featuring nonagentive subjects, including those with experiential predicates (A-impersonals), presentational constructions with a notional subject deficient in topicality (T-impersonals), and c…
Tense, aspect, and mood based differential case marking
Interaction of verbal categories
In this paper I propose, building on an earlier work by Xrakovskij (Grammaticeskie kategorii glagola: opyt teorii vzaimodejstvija, Nauka, 1996) and Aikhenvald and Dixon (Language 74: 56–80, 1998), a general approach to the study of grammeme interaction, focusing on functionally infelicitous grammeme combinations (such as perfective presents), and demonstrate its applicability to the domain of verbal categories. It is argued that the outcome of gr…
Studies in Ditransitive Constructions
This rich volume deals comprehensively with cross-linguistic variation in the morphosyntax of ditransitive constructions: constructions formed with verbs (like give) that take Agent, Theme and Recipient arguments. For the first time, a broadly cross-linguistic perspective is adopted. The present volume, consisting of an overview article and twenty-odd in-depth studies of ditransitive constructions in individual languages from different continents…

Introduction to the special issue on semantic maps
Author's Reply - What Semantic Maps Show and What They Are Good for
In their commentaries, Heiko Narrog and Bernhard Wlchli raise interesting questions with the approach I am advocating in my paper. I will start with Bernhard Wlchli"s commentary, since it is more on a critical note, and thus requires a more elaborate response
Analyzing Semantic Maps
In this paper I argue that semantic similarity is not the only factor which motivates polysemy patterns cross-linguistically; I also show that these other factors (markedness, distinguishability, etc) may give rise to polysemies which are problematic for established semantic maps. Only when these other interfering factors, both functional and structural, are featured out, does a semantic network emerge and a "similarity map" reduce to a semantic …
Cross-linguistic Semantics of Tense, Aspect, and Modality
In recent years, we have witnessed, on the one hand, an increased interest in cross-linguistic data in formal semantic studies, and, on the other hand, an increased concern for semantic issues in language typology. However, only few studies combine semantic and typological research for a particular semantic domain (such as the papers in Bach et al. (1995) on quantification and Smith (1997) on aspect). This book brings together formal semanticists…
Animacy and asymmetries in differential case marking
Case-Marking Strategies
Two strategies of case marking in natural languages are discussed. These are defined as two violable constraints whose effects are shown to converge in the case of differential object marking but diverge in the case of differential subject marking. The discourse prominence of the case-bearing arguments is shown to be of utmost importance for case-marking and voice alternations. The analysis of the case-marking patterns that are found crosslinguis…

Case, Valency and Transitivity
The three concepts of case , valency and transitivity belong to the most discussed topics of modern linguistics. On the one hand, they are crucially connected with morphological aspects of the clause, including case marking, person agreement and voice. On the other hand, they are related to several semantic issues such as the meaning of case, semantico-syntactic verbal classes, and the semantic correlates of transitivity. The volume unifies paper…
Constraining nominalization
The present article deals with constraints on transcategorial processes such as nominalization. In particular, it addresses the issue whether one can predict the order in which verbal categories are lost and nominal categories are acquired in nominalization. It is argued that the disruption/acquisition of categories in transcategorial processes is determined by functionally based hierarchies of nominal and verbal categories, as suggested in the f…
Towards a Semantic Typology of Adversative and Contrast Marking
The article concerns the issue of the semantic typology of adversative connectives such as Russian 'no' and English 'but'. I adopt a semantic map approach in order to establish semantic relations between the adversative function and other functions in the domain of coordination on the basis of cross-linguistically attested polysemy patterns. Thus, I establish two 'routes' connecting the adversative to the coordinating ('and') function, via the co…
