The Bantu-Salish connection in determiner semantics
This paper provides a semantic analysis of the D(eterminer)-system in Nata (Eastern Bantu), and compares it with the strikingly similar D-system of St’át’imcets (Salish). Our core proposal is that in both languages, the major distinction encoded by Ds correlates with the presence vs. absence of speaker commitment to the existence of a referent for the noun phrase.We show that neither Nata nor St’át’imcets Ds encode well-known distinctions like de…
Nobody's Perfect
This paper challenges the cross-linguistic validity of the tense-aspect category 'perfect' by investigating 15 languages from eight different families (Atayal, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, English, German, Gitksan, Japanese, Javanese, Korean, Mandarin, Niuean, Québec French, St'át'imcets, Swahili, and Tibetan). The methodology involves using the storyboard 'Miss Smith's Bad Day' to test for the availability of experiential, resultative, recent-pa…
