When (not) to establish a new category: The case of perfect, ‘already’ and iamitives
In this paper, we take stock of our linguistic tools to investigate potential markers of the perfect and ‘already’, and challenge the necessity of assuming the existence of the category of iamitives ( Olsson 2013 ). Iamitives are said to have a core meaning of change-of-state, similar to ‘already’, with an additional resultative meaning making it also similar to perfect aspect. We investigate several perfect/iamitive/‘already’ markers in Nafsan, …
Perspectives on information structure in Austronesian language
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…
What categorial ambiguity doesn't tell us about crossed control: Commentary on Jeoung 2020
Jeoung (2020) argues that certain predicates in Indonesian are categorially ambiguous between auxiliaries and lexical verbs. Moreover, she claims that the auxiliary reading has been overlooked in analyses of so-called crossed control in Indonesian. As we show in this reply, however, the auxiliary reading is in fact independent of crossed control
The ‘experiential’ as an existential past: Evidence from Javanese and Atayal
Recent literature has debated the nature and robustness of distinctions between pronominal tenses and existential tenses, between absolute tenses and relative tenses, and between perfect aspects and relative tenses. In this paper, we investigate anteriority markers in Javanese and Atayal, two distantly related Austronesian languages. On the basis of a range of empirical diagnostics, we propose that the markers tau in Javanese and - in - in Atayal…
Weak necessity without weak possibility: The composition of modal strength distinctions in Javanese
This paper investigates the semantics of the suffix -NE in Javanese (Austronesian; Indonesia), bringing to light new findings to bear on the composition of modal strength distinctions. In a transparent manner, this functional morpheme derives weak necessity modals from strong necessity modals, but cannot attach to possibility modals to derive weak possibility. Javanese thereby takes a different compositional route to weak necessity than most Indo…
The Dichotomy of Auxiliaries in Javanese: Evidence from Two Dialects
Cole et al. find that auxiliary fronting in yes–no questions divides auxiliaries in the dialect of Peranakan Javanese as spoken in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia into two types: low auxiliaries that can front and high auxiliaries that cannot. In my research on two geographically distinct dialects of Javanese (Paciran Javanese, spoken in Paciran, East Java; and Standard Javanese, spoken in Yogyakarta and Solo, Central Java), I broach the questi…
