The paper discusses two “hidden” semantic oppositions in the Armenian
verbal system: both have no specific segmental markers but are manifested
in the division of verbal forms into certain formal classes. In the first case, we deal
with the division into synthetic and periphrastic forms, which corresponds to
the expression of the so-called "temporal mobility" (or the ability to express ...

This paper presents a typological questionnaire designed for the systematic and cross-linguistically comparable description of additive markers, such as English too or German auch, in any language of the world. The questionnaire comprises over 80 stimuli targeting the behavior of additives across 12 functions. It incorporates both morphosyntactic and semantic parameters of variation, identified through ...

В статье описываются сонорные согласные чукотского языка, а особенное внимание уделено тем из них, которые демонстрируют значительную фонетическую вариативность: аппроксимантам и r. Эта вариативность осмысляется с точки зрения акустики и артикуляции, типологии, истории и диалектологии чукотско-корякских идиомов, социолингвистики и влияния русского языка. Многообразие подходов призвано связать воедино разрозненные факты о чукотском языке, объяснить необычные реализации ...

This paper focuses on the semantics of four analytical verbal constructions in Sakha (<Turkic). We describe the restrictions on the semantic type of the situation and its participants, as well as the construction’s combinability with different temporal and aspectual adverbials, which helps to reconstruct the aspectual profile of the constructions in question. ...

The paper examines the semantics and distribution of the polyfunctional Hill Mari focus particle =ok. We describe two interpretations of =ok possible on a wide range of hosts: the exhaustive use and the counteradditive use; besides, we consider several uses that are only possible with a lexically or semantically conditioned set of entities. We argue ...

Efficiency is central to understanding the communicative and cognitive underpinnings of language. However, efficiency management is a complex mechanism in which different efficiency effects—such as articulatory, processing and planning ease, mental accessibility, and informativity, online and offline efficiency effects—conspire to yield the coding of linguistic signs. While we do not yet exactly understand the interactional ...

The book offers a 360-degree discussion on the theoretical relevance of discourse phenomena for typology and, vice-versa, how a typological approach can be useful to provide new insights on the study of these phenomena. At the same time, it also aims at giving an account of less described or rare discourse phenomena in typologically interesting ...

In this article I present a connection between frequency and length of person-number indexes via two independent researches: token frequency obtained from the Universal Dependencies’ treebanks and type frequency gathered within a typological study. After introducing the results of those two studies, I will present East Caucasian data. I show that the unusual history of ...

This article presents the results of a typological study of evidential systems in ninety two natural languages. The paper suggests some tendencies concerning the coding of evidentiality; it also considers the relationship between the grammaticalization and the semantics of evidential markers. ...

Aims and Objectives/Purpose/Research Questions:
The purpose of the study is to figure out what factors condition the phenomenon of preposition drop (P-drop) in locative, directional and temporal phrases. Specifically, we investigate what kind of phrases allow P-drop in Russian spoken in Highland Daghestan and aim at understanding the rationale for this phenomenon.
Design/Methodology/Approach:
We conduct a quantitative analysis ...

Работа посвящена описанию взаимодействия и иерархии словоизменительных грамматических категорий глагола в рамках одной словоформы в арабском литературном языке. В работе анализируются категории наклонения, времени, вида, залога, в меньшей степени лица и числа. Хотя в основном рассматривается взаимодействие указанных категорий, несколько разделов дополнительно посвящены влиянию на подобное взаимодействие категорий одушевленности, рода, а также грамматической позиции. ...

It has long seemed plausible that the languages of hunter-gatherer societies might be systematically different from those of food producers. Compared to food-producing societies, hunter-gatherer societies are usually smaller and less complex, with lower population density. They are often based on kinship as a main organizing factor and usually lack large-scale sociopolitical organization with its ...

During several decades, syntactic reconstruction has been more or less regarded as a bootless and an unsuccessful venture, not least due to the heavy criticism in the 1970s from scholars like Watkins, Jeffers, Lightfoot, etc. This fallacious view culminated in Lightfoot’s (2002: 625) conclusion: “[i]f somebody thinks that they can reconstruct grammars more successfully and ...

The paper attempts at giving a definition to caritive (cf. John came without Mary) as a comparative concept that could be used in typological studies. We discuss the drawbacks of the current definitions and formulate the principles with which the definition must comply. One of the main principles is avoidance of any grammatical notions, which ...

The incompletive aspectual cluster combines the meanings of progressive and resultative. One of the notable representatives of this cluster is the Japanese -te i- construction, which having been studied and analyzed in very different ways for a long time. However, it has rarely been approached from a typological point of view. This paper presents an ...

The languages of Europe and North and Central Asia provide a rich variety of data. In this volume, some articles are summaries of large areal typological research projects, and some articles focus on structures or constructions in a single language. However, it is common to all the articles that they investigate phenomena that have not ...

Traditionally, functioning of major classes of lexical items is described as follows. Nouns prototypically function as arguments, but can also serve as predicates and attributes; verbs are normally used as predicates, but can also appear for arguments and attributes; and adjectives are categorically attributes, while secondary they can be used as predicates. The question arises, ...

After an introductory chapter that provides an overview to theoretical issues in tense, aspect, modality and evidentiality, this volume presents a variety of original contributions that are firmly empirically-grounded based on elicited or corpus data, while adopting different theoretical frameworks. Thus, some chapters rely on large diachronic corpora and provide new qualitative insight on the ...
