Word order variation in Kurmanji ditransitive constructions
The placement and realization of direct and indirect objects (henceforth DO and IO) in Kurmanji is subject to variation; e.g., DO and IO can be placed before or after one another in the preverbal domain; IO can be placed before the verb as an adpositional phrase, or, if recipient, it can be realized as a noun phrase (NP) after the verb. Although the postverbal variant has been the subject of a number of studies, the relative order between DO and …
On the persistence of SVO
This study addresses the issue of unmarked word order in Modern Eastern Armenian (MEA), typologically considered a flexible (S)OV language due to its being strongly left-branching as well as the syntactic properties of its VP (focus, bare objects, low adverbs). However, Armenian grammars generally consider (S)VO to be the canonical order. We have conducted a corpus study and two sentence production experiments to tackle this controversy. These st…
Procliticization as a residual of second positioning
Person clitics show proclitic attachment in some West Iranian languages. Nevertheless, most of the literature has continued to focus on enclitics. This paper provides evidence that a good number of modern languages have developed proclitics, presumably from the middle Iranian period onward. Using synchronic data from modern languages gathered in the field, and contrasting it with the Middle Iranian period and current clausal second-position cliti…
Word order preferences and the effect of phrasal length in SOV languages
Heaviness (or phrasal length) has been shown to trigger mirror-image constituent ordering preferences in head-initial and head-final languages (heavy-late vs. heavy-first). These preferences are commonly attributed to a general cognitive pressure for processing efficiency obtained by minimizing the overall head-dependents linear distance – measured as the distance between the verb and the head of its left/right-most complement (Hawkins’s Minimizi…
The diversity of inflectional periphrasis in Persian
Modern Persian conjugation makes use of five periphrastic constructions with typologically divergent properties. This makes the Persian conjugation system an ideal testing ground for theories of inflectional periphrasis, since different types of periphrasis can be compared within the frame of a single grammatical system. We present contrasting analyses of the five constructions within the general framework of a lexicalist constraint-based grammat…
Re-thinking Compositionality in Persian Complex Predicates
Persian Complex Predicates (CPs) have been a focus of interest during the last two decades. Their formation (i.e. morphological/lexical vs. phrasal/syntactic) and their interpretation (compositional vs. idiomatic) have been thoroughly inves-tigated and various analyses have been proposed to account for their seemingly contradictory properties. In this paper, we revisit the issue of the compositionality of Persian CPs, focusing on Noun-Verb combin…
Topics in Iranian Linguistics
Up until quite recently, research on Iranian languages tended to be conducted in rather distinct disciplines, often with little interaction among them. A major turning point in bringing scholars from all theoretical persuasions together was the “First International Conference on Iranian Linguistics”, held in June 2005 at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. It inaugurated a tradition of interdisciplinary linguistic r…
La conjugaison objective en erzya (mordve)
La conjugaison objective des langues mordves (erzya et moksha) se caracterise par un phenomene de syncretismes massifs, touchant en premier lieu les formes du pluriel d'une part et celles de la 1ere et de la 2e personnes de l'objet d'autre part. La conjonction de ces deux proprietes produit un effet maximal dans les formes du paradigme realisant a la fois la 1ere ou la 2e personnes de l'objet et un sujet au pluriel, reduisant ainsi drastiquement …
A (phrasal) affix analysis of the Persian Ezafe
This paper discusses the status of the Ezafe particle -( y ) e in Persian and provides an affixal analysis of the Ezafe, formalized within Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG). The Ezafe, a feature of certain Western Iranian languages, is realized as an enclitic and links the head noun to its modifiers and to the possessor NP. The latter follow the head and are linked to one another by the Ezafe. On the basis of crucial empirical facts tha…
L'enclitique -i introducteur de relative en persan
Les grammaires du persan enumerent deux enclitiques nominaux homonymes realises par la voyelle -i, le premier etant generalement considere comme un article indefini, et le second, qui apparait exclusivement avec une relative restrictive, comme un article defini ou demonstratif. Plusieurs etudes ont toutefois tente de demontrer l'identite de ces deux morphemes sur la base de leurs proprietes distributionnelles et semantiques communes. Une hypothes…
