When subjects frame the clause: Discontinuous noun phrases as an iconic strategy for marking thetic constructions
This article builds on observations from several research areas which hitherto have been pursued relatively independently of one another, to argue that discontinuous nominal expressions are one of the attested strategies for marking a subtype of sentence focus constructions known as thetic constructions. This analysis can be applied to the type of discontinuity termed extraposition from subject NP/DP in languages with otherwise strongly configura…
Knowing in interaction: An introduction
This article provides an introduction for the collection of methodologically oriented papers comprising this Special Issue. We define the concept of epistemicity as used in descriptive linguistics and discuss notions related to it – some well-established, some more recent – such as evidentiality, egophoricity, epistemic authority and engagement. We give a preliminary overview of the different types of epistemic marking attested in the languages o…
Depictive Secondary Predicates in Typological Perspective
This chapter reviews competing analyses of depictive secondary predicate constructions such as the cat ate the mouse alive in the light of cross‐linguistic data. Existing proposals for a syntactic relationship have in common that they aim to capture the semantic relationship between the depictive constituent ( alive ) and one of the arguments of the main predicate (in this case, the mouse ) by variously representing the depictive as a direct (sec…
Shared vs. Primary Epistemic Authority in Jaminjung/Ngaliwurru
This paper contributes to the typology of complex perspective markers by presenting an in-depth analysis of a system of epistemic authority marking which functionally overlaps with, but has no exact parallels in, similar systems attested cross-linguistically; it is also the first analysis of grammaticalised marking of epistemic authority in a language of Australia. Jaminjung/Ngaliwurru, a language of the Mirndi family, distinguishes between prima…
Time for a change? The semantics and pragmatics of marking temporal progression in an Australian language
Pluractional Posing as Progressive: A Construction between Lexical and Grammatical Aspect
This paper proposes an analysis of an aspectual construction in Jaminjung, a non-Pama-Nyungan Australian language of the Mirndi family. At first sight, this looks like construction conveying grammatical aspect, specifically progressive, since it bears both formal and functional resemblances to typical progressive constructions. At closer investigation, however, the two morphemes crucially involved in the construction, a grammatical morpheme = may…
Constraints on noun phrase discontinuity in an Australian language: The role of prosody and information structure
Discontinuous noun phrases have posed a long-standing challenge for syntactic analysis. While there exists increasing evidence that discontinuous NPs are associated with specific information structure constellations crosslinguistically, Australian languages continue to be presented in the literature as radically non-configurational, with unlimited freedom of word order. We argue for Jaminjung, an Australian language of the Mirndi family, that onc…
Why a folder lies in the basket although it is not lying: The semantics and use of German positional verbs with inanimate Figures
In this paper we will investigate the meaning and use of positional verbs in colloquial Standard German. Positional verbs are defined as those verbs which may appear in the basic construction that functions as an answer to a “where”-question, the so-called Basic Locative Construction (BLC). Within this class of verbs, we focus on those positionals which are used to describe the configuration of inanimate movable objects. We will demonstrate that …

Constructions in language description
This paper addresses some rarely-discussed theoretical and methodological issues in the application of a monostratal, construction-based linguistic model to language description. Constructions, in this approach, are defined as complex, schematic signs which are non-compositional, i.e. which have to be learned in a way which is similar to lexical items. In principle, the construction-based model is well suited to language description, since constr…

Grammaticalized Restrictives on Adverbials and Secondary Predicates: Evidence From Australian Languages
In many Australian languages, particles or clitics which may be glossed as 'still' or 'only' are particularly frequent on secondary predicates and certain adverbials. This paper presents a detailed account of the multifunctional clitic = (C)ung in Jaminjung, and compares this with functionally similar clitics in a number of other Australian languages. It is argued that these clitics are best analysed as non-scalar restrictive markers, possibly or…
