Intonation and Focus in West Greenlandic
This contribution investigates focus realisation by means of intonation in West Greenlandic, concentrating on prefinal constituents. It finds that focus is realised in two ways in this language: Focussed words are realised with a complete tonal contour more often than ‘given’ words, and are usually also marked in terms of pitch range. However, variation occurs with regard to speaker, constituen...
متن کاملWest Greenlandic noun incorporation in a monohierarchical theory of grammar
The resulting denominal verb (DV) has the full syntactic and morphological distribution of any verb in West Greenlandic. It also retains some of the properties of the incorporated nominal, which has led some researchers to analyze this construction as a kind of NI. However, as Sapir (1911), Mithun (1986) and others have argued, it has little in common with NI constructions in languages like Moh...

The resulting denominal verb (dv) has the full syntactic and morphological distribution of any verb in West Greenlandic. It also retains some of the properties of the incorporated nominal (in), which has led some researchers to analyze this construction as a kind of ni and to argue that it represents a structural mismatch between syntax and morphology. In this paper, I will present an alternati...
متن کاملAntipassive Constructions
An antipassive construction is a derived detransitivized construction with a two-place predicate, related to a corresponding transitive construction whose predicate is the same lexical item. In the basic transitive construction, the patient-like argument is realized as a direct object; in the antipassive construction, that argument is either suppressed (left implicit) or realized as an oblique ...
متن کاملAntipassive and Middle Constructions
In addition to the transitive and intransitive, ergative languages of the Polynesian group commonly have another type of construction, which is called middle. The middle construction stands somewhere in between the transitive and the intransitive. It involves two arguments, but crucially is syntactically intransitive. The subject appears in ABS, not ERG. The logical object appears in some obliq...
