Argument hierarchies and the mapping principle
As is well known, in many languages–such as Lummi and Dyirbal–we find a split in case marking, where third person and other non-local arguments take an Ergative/Absolutive marking, and local persons (1st and 2nd persons) take a Nominative/Accusative pattern. Argument

Athabaskan Language Studies: Essays in Honor of Robert W. Young
Many leading figures in the field of Athabaskan languages contributed to this volume, and their range of topics matches Robert Young's interests. Four papers deal with northern Athabaskan languages, which Young studied in the 1930s. The remaining essays focus on aspects of Navajo language and culture; Young has specialized in this area for over fifty years in collaboration with his mentor, William Morgan, Sr. Several essays present detailed analy…
Reduplication as a Quantifier in Salish
Navajo as a Discourse Configurational Language
Baker (1996) defines “polysynthetic” languages as requiring registration of argument structure in the verbal morphology. The goal of this paper is to define the semantic features that underlie this typological propery, as manifested in Navajo. We argue that Navajo is a discourse configurational language, where nominals are adjuncts ordered according to the topic/focus articulation of the clause, while incorporated pronominal arguments in the verb…

Predicates and Pronominal Arguments in Straits Salish
This paper provides an analysis of the syntax of Straits Salish, according to which these languages lack a noun/verb contrast at the word level. Main clauses consist of an initial predicate, minimally containing a lexical root, a functional head where valence [± TRANSITIVE:] is marked, and possibly a pronominal suffix marking an internal argument. The predicate is followed by a second position clitic string of inflectional elements, the subject p…
