On naming and definiteness: New evidence from Martinique Creole
Describing a modern variety of Martinique Creole spoken by French-Creole bilinguals, we show that this language uses two different subgrammars to express ‘definiteness’, viz to signal a uniqueness presupposition on a discourse referent: (i) the enclitic determiner - la , arguably located in a phrase-peripheral D head which has been shown by Térosier ( 2021 , 2022 ) to convey two subtypes of discourse-linking; (ii) a dedicated morphosyntax for nou…
Une composition [V V-V] productive dans trois créoles à base française …et en français: L’univerbation à l’interface syntaxe-lexique
Cet article s’attache à décrire une construction biverbale mais monoclausale, productive dans une variété de créole martiniquais. Nous montrons que les verbes combinés forment un composé [V V-V] à sémantique additive, que nous proposons de dériver d’une coordination [V & V] par univerbation, concept adapté de Schwarze (2005), et réduction morphologique. Une enquête comparative révèle que des cas analogues de composition [V V-V] sont attestés dans…
The syntax of directional Serial Verb Constructions in French-based creoles
This article bears on directional Serial Verb Constructions (SVCs) in French-based creoles. Starting with a working definition of our topic of study, we present a detailed description of the data in Martinican Creole (MQ) – whose grammar is similar in the relevant respects to that of Haitian (HC). Four different structural patterns are distinguished. Our results bring partial support to Aboh’s (2015) assumption that the emergence of Haitian SVCs …
The emergence of hybrid grammars: Language contact and change by Enoch Oladé Aboh
Verb cognates in Haitian Creole
This article bears on three “verb cognate” (VC) constructions attested in Haitian Creole, where the verb and a homonymous replica of the verb cooccur within the same clausal domain. In the first two constructions – VC1 and VC2 – the verb's cognate is crucially unstressed and supports further lexical material, while in the third construction – VC3, which subsumes the subcase known as
Crosslinguistic Studies on Noun Phrase Structure and Reference
Crosslinguistic Studies on Noun Phrase Structure and Reference contains 11 studies on the grammar of noun phrases. Part One explores NP-structure and the impact of information structure, countability and number marking on interpretation, using data from Russian, Armenian, Hebrew, Brazilian Portuguese, Karitiana, Turkish, English, Catalan and Danish. Part Two examines language specific definiteness marking strategies in spoken and signed languages…
Présentation
Ce numéro de Modèles Linguistiques réunit quatre contributions originales à l’étude des pronoms, qui font suite à quatre autres contributions à la même thématique rassemblées dans le précédent numéro. Les pronoms sont couramment conçus comme une « partie du discours » définie en termes de substitution : un pro-nom est « mis pour un nom. » Cette définition est démentie par les résultats des travaux empiriques, dans la mesure où certains pronoms oc…
Differential Function Marking, Case, and Information Structure: Evidence from Korean
The central goal of this article is to propose a systematic description of differental function marking (DM) in Korean, a language in which both subject and object markers may fail to be spelled out. Taking Aissen's theory of DM (Aissen 2003) as a starting point, we show that although its predictions seem mostly consistent with the statistical results of corpus-based research on Korean (and Japanese), this model does not accurately account for th…
La pluralisation des pronoms de dialogue: Benveniste face au coréen
1. Introduction Depuis Benveniste (1946), cité en [1], il est supposé ici et là (cf. par ex. Lyons 1968 : 277) que les pronoms de dialogue n’ont pas de véritable pluriel : [1] « La distinction ordinaire de singulier et de pluriel doit être sinon remplacée, au moins interprétée, dans l’ordre de la personne, par une distinction entre personne stricte ( = ‘singulier ’) et personne amplifiée ( = ‘pluriel’). Seule la ‘troisième personne’, étant non-pe…

Description linguistique et grammaire universelle: Réflexions sur la notion de finitude à partir de la grammaire du wolof1
1. Introduction Il est courant d'opposer les propositions finies aux propositions non finies, typiquement représentées par les in-fini-tives. Divers auteurs, parmi lesquels Benveniste (1950/1966) puis Renault (1991) et Nash & Rouveret (1996), ont tenté de préciser le contenu de la notion de finitude (anglais : finiteness).

On the dual nature of the ‘possessive’ marker in Modern English
This paper shows, after Watkins (1967) and Tremblay (1989, 1991), that the possessive phrase of This is John's does not necessarily include an elliptical Possessee. This ambiguity is argued to arise from the dual nature of the possessive marker, which may either be inflectional or derivational in Modern English. In the first case, it may be analysed as a functional head, as proposed by Abney (1987) and Kayne (1993, 1994); in the second case, it o…
Emphatic or reflexive? On the endophoric character of French lui-méme and similar complex pronouns
This study examines the referential properties of a class of complex pronouns labelled M-PRONOUNS, exemplified by Old English HIMSELF, French LUI-MéME and English HISOWN. It is shown that M-pronouns exhibit some properties commonly taken as characterizing reflexive anaphors, and that they also occur as ‘intensive’ pronouns. It is shown, however, that they are not anaphors, and that labelling them ‘intensives’ does not suffice to account for their…

Anaphor Binding and Narrative Point of View: English Reflexive Pronouns in Sentence and Discourse
This paper offers a detailed survey of occurrences of English reflexive pronouns which are marked with respect to the binding theory of Chomskyan generative grammar. Through a large corpus of attested examples found in contemporary nonlinguistic prose, English reflexive pronouns are shown to violate Chomsky's Binding Principle A in a productive way. The proposed grammar of these violations draws a clear-cut line between syntax and discourse, and …
