The Role of Pronominal Suffixes in Punjabi
نویسنده
چکیده
Discourse Functions in LFG • One school of thought integrates discourse functions such as topic and focus with the grammatical functions at the same level of representation (e.g., Bresnan 2001). • Another school of thought seeks to represent them at an independent level (e.g., King 1997), modeling the interactions in a more complex way. This talk follows the latter position (King 1997) and furthermore assumes that discourse considerations have a profound effect on the morphosyntax of a language. Though grammatical relations are not taken to evolve over time, valency and discourse clearly interact in a manner that as yet remains to be properly understood.

متن کاملPersian object clitics and the syntax - morphology interface
This paper presents a descriptive overview and formal analysis of the use of pronominal clitics for realizing various types of arguments in Persian, with particular emphasis on object clitics in the verbal domain. We argue that pronominal clitics behave more like suffixes than independent syntactic elements; in cases where they take syntactic scope over an NP or a PP, they must be phrasal affix...
