Optional agreement in Santiago Tz’utujil (Mayan) is syntactic
Some Mayan languages display optional verbal agreement with 3 pl arguments (Dayley1985; Henderson2009; England2011). Focusing on novel data from Santiago Tz’utujil (ST), we demonstrate that this optionality is not reducible to phonological or morphological factors. Rather, the source of optionality is in the syntax. Specifically, the distinction between arguments generated in the specifier position and arguments generated in the complement positi…
Khöömei and Heritage: An Afterword
Khöömei and Heritage:An Afterword Theodore Levin (bio) I am grateful to the authors of the lively case studies featured in this issue of Asian Music for inviting me to contribute a brief afterword. The authors' idea was to bookend their case studies—all of them the product of recent and ongoing fieldwork—with contributions by several of their academic forebears whose investigations of throat-singing not only preceded their own but, in a sense, pa…
Philippine Clitic Pronouns and the Lower Phase Edge
Pronominal paradigms in Philippine-type Austronesian languages show a robust and curious gap: in transitive clauses, pivot arguments and nonpivot agents may have bound pronominal forms, appearing as second-position clitics, but pronominal nonpivot themes must be full, free pronouns. This gap is instructive regarding the orga-nization of the lower phase edge. As cliticization involves a syntactic dependency between the host and argument position a…
Mayan agent focus and the ergative extraction constraint: Facts and fictions revisited
Many languages of the Mayan family restrict the extraction of transitive (ergative) subjects for focus, WH-questions, and relativization (Ā-extraction). We follow Aissen (2017b) in labeling this restriction the ERGATIVE EXTRACTION CONSTRAINT (EEC). In this article, we offer a unified account of the EEC within Mayan languages, as well as an analysis of the special construction known as AGENT FOCUS (AF) used to circumvent it. Specifically, we propo…
