Verbal number in Muyu
This article analyses verbal number in Muyu, a Lowland Ok language of the Trans New Guinea family spoken in South Papuan Province. Verbal number stands for a system of pairwise lexical contrasts in which alternating verb stems encode a singular/plural opposition for subject or object arguments of the clause (e.g. ‘take one object’ vs. ‘take many objects’) or for how often the denoted event occurs (e.g. ‘hit once’ vs. ‘hit repeatedly’). Muyu has a…
Serial verbs and minimal markers
This article examines minimal markers, a previously under-recognised type of linking element found in multi-verb constructions (MVCs). Minimal markers are phonologically small, semantically light, and restricted to verb–verb environments, yet they occur in constructions that otherwise display the defining properties of monoclausal predicate integration. Because most definitions of serial verb constructions (SVCs) exclude overt linking morphology,…
