The question of form in the forming of questions: The meaning and
Kaqchikel
Challenging cross-linguistic typology
It is known that consonants can act as boundary markers when they are located at the left edge of a prosodic domain, helping listeners to parse incoming speech. To achieve maximum efficiency in marking out boundaries, those markers should be acoustically salient. In Element Theory, domain markers are represented by the elements |H| and |ʔ|. Being inherently voiceless, these elements stand apart from the other elements, which are spontaneously voi…
On the (non)universality of the preference for subject-object word order in sentence comprehension
The processing load of sentences with three different word orders (VOS, VSO, and SVO) in Kaqchikel Maya was investigated using a sentence-plausibility judgment task. The results showed that VOS sentences were processed faster than VSO and SVO sentences. This supports the traditional analysis in Mayan linguistics that the syntactically determined basic word order is VOS in Kaqchikel, as in many other Mayan languages. More importantly, the result r…
Fronting of Nondirect Arguments and Adverbial Focus Marking on the Verb in Classical Yucatec
Classical Yucatec Maya has two different sets of inflection: unmarked and marked verb forms. When a nondirect argument—an adverbially functioning word or phrase—is fronted to a preverbal position, the verb appears in a marked form. The marked verb forms in question show split ergative morphology, which is controlled by both aspect and person. Since adverbially functioning words and phrases are the same in form as nonadverbial adjectives, nouns, p…
