Applicative constructions and suppletive verbs in Hiaki

  title={Applicative constructions and suppletive verbs in Hiaki},
  author={Jason D. Haugen and Mercedes Tubino Blanco and Heidi Harley},

}
Several intransitive verbs of motion or posture in Hiaki exhibit verb-stem suppletion conditioned by the number of the subject. ere are also a few suppletive transitive verbs conditioned by the number of the object. We argue in this paper that suppletion in these verb roots is triggered only by underlying objects, and that the intransitive members of this class of verbs are unaccusative. To show this, we exploit the properties of the Hiaki applicative morpheme, whi is productive with any…

Syntactic Constraints on MorphemeOrdering
TLDR
T careful examination reveals that the interaction of the applicative and causative morphology in Hiaki is in fact systematically restricted and is similar to that in Korean.
Syntactic Constraints on Morpheme Ordering
While applicative and causative constructions have been extensively studied independently, the configuration derived by the interaction of the two has drawn relatively less attention in generative…
The syntax and semantics of dative DPs in Russian ditransitives
TLDR
The interpretative and syntactic differences between scrambled and base generated high datives lead us to claim that in Russian, dative ditransitives have two distinct underlying structures that are not derivationally related.
On the syntax of applicative and causative constructions
TLDR
This dissertation investigates the argument structure of verb phrases by identifying the syntactic roles and locations of the functional heads it consists of and shows that the tripartite hypothesis provides a syntactic account of the constraints on applicative and causative affix.
Lexical affixes, incorporation, and conflation: the case of Coeur d'Alene
TLDR
It is argued that Lexical Affixes are arguments that incorporate syntactically (Baker 1988) along the lines of Harley (2004) who argues for a Conflation (Hale & Keyser 2002) analysis of compounding in English.
The Syntax of Applicative Constructions in Spoken Sudanese Arabic
TLDR
A syntactic analysis of applicative constructions in Sudanese Arabic within the theoretical framework of the Minimalist Program, in particular, the notion of phases, in combination with Pylkkanen's proposed phrase structure and the semantics of I-applicative (2000, 2008).
Argument structure licensing and English have
This paper provides a unified syntactic account of the distribution of English have in causative constructions (e.g. John had Mary read a book ) and experiencer constructions (e.g. John had the…
Cycles, vocabulary items, and stem forms in Hiaki
TLDR
The Hiaki case provides a clear argument for Vocabulary Insertion applying to Root elements, as well as to f-morphemes, and the notion of a phasal cycle within the word proves useful in permitting a simple statement of the relevant conditioning context for the application of morphophonological rules.
External arguments and the Mirror Principle: On the distinctness of Voice and v
On the identity of roots
TLDR
This paper attempts to articulate the essential nature of the notion ‘root’ in the morphosyntax, and argues that roots must be individuated purely abstractly, as independent indices on the √ node in the syntactic computation that serves as the linkage between a particular set of spell-out instructions and a particularSet of interpretive instructions.

No escape from syntax: Don't try morphological analysis in the privacy of your own lexicon
TLDR
The Lexicalist view of the computational lexicon may be pictured as in (3), where both the Lexicon and the Syntax connect sound and meaning by relating the sound andmeaning of complex constituents systematically to the sounds and meanings of their constitutive parts.
The Generative Lexicon
TLDR
It is argued that lexical decomposition is possible if it is performed generatively and a theory of lexical inheritance is outlined, which provides the necessary principles of global organization for the lexicon, enabling us to fully integrate the authors' natural language lexicon into a conceptual whole.
