Northwest Caucasian languages display a high degree of polysynthesis (manifested in complex words which bear much information on arguments and the characteristics of a situation), prefixes and suffixes, with some morphemes being capable to appear both as prefixes and suffixes, ergative-based cross-reference of core arguments and indirect objects introduced by applicatives, highly developed means of ...

Phasal polarity (PhP) is a cross-linguistic category which includes such values as ᴀʟʀᴇᴀᴅʏ, ɴᴏᴛ ʏᴇᴛ, sᴛɪʟʟ and ɴᴏ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ. This paper discusses morphologically bound markers of phasal polarity in Abaza, a polysynthetic Northwest Caucasian language. We show that the Abaza PhP affixes ‑χ’a ‘already’, -s (+ negation) ‘not yet’, -rḳʷa ‘still’ and -χ (+ negation) ...

This paper describes a group of derivational verbal suffixes in Abaza, a polysynthetic language belonging to the Northwest Caucasian family. For each suffix I propose a short description of its most remarkable features. In particular, I discuss the polysemy of the refactive and assertive markers and their interaction with the event structure of the verb. ...

West Circassian displays two types of cilitive (facilitive ‘easy’ and difficilitive ‘difficult’) forms, namely noun cilitives, which describe individuals, and secondary cilitives, which describe the state of affairs. Secondary cilitives seemingly originate from noun cilitives, hence the same cilitive suffixes mark forms that are remarkably different from each other in their morphosyntax. While noun cilitives ...

In this article we describe reflexivization strategies in Abaza (Northwest
Caucasian), a polysynthetic language characterized by consistent head
marking and morphological ergativity. Abaza features three reflexivization
strategies: (i) the specialized reflexive prefix čə- used to reflexivize the absolutive argument, (ii) doubling of person-number prefixes, used to reflexivize
indirect objects with transitive verbs, and (iii) the lexical reflexive based on
the ...

This paper deals with the productive morphological causative r(ə)- in Abaza (Northwest Caucasian), a highly polysynthetic ergative language. We discuss the causativization process in Abaza as well as the semantic properties of the construction and elaborate an analysis of the event structure of the Abaza morphological causatives based on the scope of adverbials. ...

Как правило, объединение клауз в полипредикативных конструкциях выражается в том, что один из предикатов теряет свою синтаксическую самостоятельность. Однако существует также чрезвычайно редкий альтернативный способ интеграции главной и подчинённой клауз: объединение может произойти не на синтаксическом, а на морфологическом уровне при сохранении синтаксической самостоятельности. В данной работе показано, что примером полипредикации, сочетающей морфологическую интеграцию компонентов с их синтаксической автономностью, является абазинская ...

Voice onset time (VOT) is a parameter which distinguishes the way consonants are articulated . This parameter is widely used in acoustic phonetics. In particular, there are many studies of it in the languages of the world. This paper presents an analysis of VOT in the Abaza language (Northwest Caucasian). We measured the VOT of ...

Adyghe, a polysynthetic language of the West Caucasian family, shows the typological characteristics of ergativity, left-branching word order, and the flexibility of the lexical categories. Its word has a high degree of morphological complexity and consists of five ordered morphological zones, within which the order of affixes can vary, and recursion is possible. The information ...

West Circassian has no less than two imperatives and two optatives. Their distribution depends on various parameters such as the speaker’s control over the situation, the person of the topic and the type of a predicate. The whole system arguably can be described with respect to the universal Imperative Prototype, which reflects grammaticalization of a ...

This paper describes a pilot experiment which was conducted by the authors with speakers of the polysynthetic West Circassian (Adyghe) language and aimed at investigating their ability to use complex verb forms that cross-reference several arguments introduced by applicative morphology. The results of the experiment support the view that complex polysynthetic words can be constructed ...

In this paper we argue for the existence of an asymmetric parts-of-speech system where nouns constitute a separate word class but do not form any non-privative contrast with other content parts of speech. As a result, in a system of this kind there is no need to distinguish verbs even though there are good reasons ...

В статье показано, что описанное А.Е. Кибриком «узнавательно-целевое деепричастие» [Кибрик 1977] является представителем целого семейства «проверятельных» форм, включающих по крайней мере инфинитив, императив и будущее (для некоторых носителей также аорист) и образующих таким образом очевидную параллель «проверятельным» формам агульского языка, впервые описанным в [Майсак, Мерданова 2004]. Сходство этих форм, называемых выше верификативными, прослеживается последовательно в ...

The paper discusses valency-changing operations in West Circassian (Adyghe), a polysynthetic language of the North Caucasus. West Circassian is a strongly valency-increasing language, which has many means that add arguments to the subcategorization frame of a predicate. Despite this, the language also seems to have several valency-changing operations which could be regarded as either eliminating ...

According to the hypothesis we propose, the marker əčʼjə̣ / jəčʼjə̣ , which ...
