Abstract:

Bernard Comrie, in his contribution on the Slavic languages to the volume edit ed by J. Gvozdanović (p. 766), reports a fact of particular historical interest. In pre senting the forms and behavior of the 'teens amongst the numerals' Comrie states that two accentual patterns apply, an oxytone and a recessive, i.e. -nájst and ÚNIT najst. However, he points out that exceptionally in the case of '1l' only enájst the oxy tone occurs.

Abstract:

This paper examines the strategies for relativisation and the Noun Phrase accessibility hierarchy and constraints in Yoruba [Keenan and Comrie 197T]. The various positions relativisable are examined. It was found that contrary to what Keenan and Comrie thought, Yoruba relativises all positions except the Object of Comparative. Attention is also focussed on the status of the coreferential pronoun found in subject relativisation. From the presence of this pronoun it appears as if Yoruba violates the continuous segment principle. However, our analysis shows that the pronoun is a surface structure phenomenon which obscures the underlying strategy for relativisation. The Yoruba data therefore supports the Hierarchy Constraints.

Resumo Neste artigo, as perspectivas de Bello (1841), Reichenbach (1947), Comrie (1990) e Rojo e Veiga (1999) sobre ponto de referência são aplicadas a 350 dados de pretérito imperfeito do subjuntivo, provenientes de 60 entrevistas sociolinguísticas do Atlas Sociolinguístico da região da AMREC. O propósito é: demonstrar em que medida tais perspectivas se aproximam ou se distanciam; comprovar empiricamente a aplicação das propostas, mediante análise quali-quantitativa; e atestar que tempo é uma categoria discursiva. Para isso, observa similaridades acerca de: poder explanatório; recursos lógicos e correlação entre tempo cronológico e gramatical. A principal diferença reside na visão da temporalidade: lógica ou discursiva. Quanto aos dados, 116 são ambíguos, na perspectiva lógica de Bello (1841), Reichenbach (1947) e Comrie (1990). Na proposta de Rojo e Veiga (1999), por ser recursiva e ultrapassar os limites da frase, a ambiguidade se desfaz: os dados são discursivamente interpretados como anteriores ou posteriores ou cotemporais ao ponto de referência.

Abstract:

Abstract Linguistic typologists (e.g. Ramat 1987, Seiler 1995) tend to assume that there is a close connection between translatability and language universals (research) but this assumption has recently been called into question by Comrie (1986, 1989, 1998), who claims that such a connection should be ignored in the practical enterprise of doing linguistics or will have a debilitating effect on the progress of linguistics as a discipline. This paper will demonstrate that translation is not only possible in principle but also has much relevance to language universals (research). First, to argue that translation is, in principle, not possible is to deny the basic relation between cognitive-conceptual content and language, mediated by translation. Moreover, the question of translatability is no longer looked upon as something either possible or impossible but translation is recognized as a process in which optimal solutions to translation are sought. Comrie’s argument for the impossibility of translation is based on formal equivalence, a concept which is highly debatable, particularly within Translation Studies. Second, translation has much relevance to language universals (research), because universal constraints (for example, on relative clause formation) are formulated or defined in terms of grammatical context, which will only come to light through translation. This does not come as a surprise because the mediation between language and cognition is also done through translation. The role of translation in language universals (research) is, pace Comrie (1986, 1989, 1998), much more than a mere heuristic. Translation is crucial to language universals (research), as recognized by Ramat (1987) and Seiler (1995). Résumé Les typologistes linguistiques (par exemple Ramat 1987, Seiler 1995) ont tendance à supposer qu’il y a un rapport étroit entre la traduisibilité et les universaux de la langue (recherche), mais cette supposition a été récemment remise en question par Comrie (1986, 1989, 1998). Celui-ci prétend qu’un tel rapport doit être ignoré quand on s’engage concrétement dans la pratique de la linguistique ou qu’il aura un effet débilitant sur le progrés de la linguistique en tant que discipline. Cet article démontrera que la traduction est non seulement possible en principe, mais qu’elle présente aussi beaucoup d’intérêt pour la recherche des universaux de la langue. Primo, prétendre que la traduction est en principe impossible revient à rejeter la relation fondamentale entre le contenu cognitif et conceptuel et la langue, « modérée » par la traduction. En outre, on ne considère plus la question de la traduisibilité comme quelque chose de possible ou d’impossible, mais on admet que la traduction est un processus dans lequel on cherche des solutions de traduction optimales. L’argument de Comrie en faveur de l’impossibilité de la traduction repose sur une équivalence formelle, un concept qui est hautement discutable, en particulier en traductologie. Secundo, la traduction présente beaucoup d’intérêt pour la recherche des universaux de la langue, parce que des contraintes universelles (par exemple, sur la formation des propositions relatives) sont formulées ou définies en termes de contexte grammatical, qui ne sera mis en lumière que par la traduction. Cela n’a rien de surprenant, parce que la médiation entre la langue et la connaissance se fait aussi par la traduction. Le rôle de la traduction dans la recherche des universaux de la langue est, pace Comrie (1986, 1989, 1998), bien plus qu’une simple heuristique. La traduction est cruciale pour la recherche des universaux de la langue, comme le reconnaissent Ramat (1987) et Seiler (1995).

This paper examines aspects of how linguistics and human genetics can collaborate in the investigation of human prehistory. Matters that need more careful attention for linguistic-genetic correlations to have value are emphasized. Some ways to make collaboration between geneticists and linguists more productive are considered, while some misconceptions frequently encountered in work which correlates languages and genes are clarified. In particular, the questions posed by Comrie (2006) in his position paper on language and genes are addressed.

Abstract:

O presente trabalho apresenta parte dos resultados da dissertação de mestrado intitulada Aspectualidade em Libras: telicidade e duratividade (PIRES, 2019), em que o autor buscou identificar traços semânticos pertinentes na expressão aspectual em Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras), bem como o papel desempenhado pelos predicados verbais de diferentes classes acionais (VENDLER, 1957) na referida expressão. Assim, temos como objetivo apresentar como predicados verbais das classes de accomplishment e de atividades na Libras se comportam de modo distinto e influenciam a expressão aspectual dessa língua, tanto na esfera lexical quanto na esfera gramatical. Para isso, observamos as postulações de Comrie (COMRIE, 1976) sobre o tema. Para evidenciar tais fenômenos, adotamos a Elicitação Controlada (MATTHEWSON, 2004) para coletar de forma sistemática e objetiva os dados que julgamos ser pertinentes, uma vez que tal metodologia se mostrou eficaz em trabalhos descritivos com línguas minoritárias. Com base nessa metodologia, adaptamos um teste elaborado por Dowty (DOWTY, 1979) para a língua inglesa, de modo a garantir a sua aplicabilidade fidedigna em uma língua de sinais. Dada a nossa pesquisa, pudemos verificar que nosso consultor optou por diferentes estratégias para expressar a duratividade. Em predicados de accomplishments e atividades, foi adotado um sinal indicativo de passagem de tempo. Em predicados com movimento direcionado (télicos e atélicos) foram utilizadas outras estratégias associadas a aspecto gramatical, como indicar fase preparatória interna de um evento.

This paper presents data on the Azoyú Tlapanec reference tracking system. The system is analyzed according to a procedure where default rules for how the system works are formulated and deviations are interpreted as being licensed by different levels of grammar organization along the lines of the local-global parameter proposed by Comrie (1989). The system is compared to its closest common typological congeners, obviation and switch-reference. Although it bears more resemblances to obviation, the system is neither clearly one of switch-reference, nor, indeed, of obviation.

This study uses the theory of language typology by Comrie (1988). This research on grammatical alliance of Angkola language (AL) aims to understand (1) the basic construction of clause, (2) the construction of complex sentence, (3) the pivot system, and (4) the grammatical alliance system. The method used is participant-observation. Pivot test revelas that Angkola language syntactically treats S equals to A, and gives different treatment to P (S` = `A` ≠ P). Angkola language grammatically has an S/A pivot. It can be concluded that AL has a tendency as an accusative language.

Abstract Valence orientation is a phenomenon much discussed and debated in typology. Diachronic tendencies of individual languages have so far only been considered en passant in typological approaches such as Comrie (2006). This paper presents a preliminary pilot study on the expression and marking of the causative anticausative alternation in the history of German in a microtypological comparison with data from two other continental West-Germanic varieties, i. e. Dutch and Yiddish. This is intended to highlight possibilities, limitations, and difficulties for a research program of diachronic analysis of a possible language change process of valence orientation and valence marking.

Abstract:

Kazan Tatar is a Kipchak language spoken in the Republic of Tatarstan (Ethnologue). Previous literature has described a backness harmony system, with weak rounding harmony in the mid vowels (Comrie 1997, Berta 1998, Poppe 1968). This work utilizes novel data to investigate Tatar’s harmony under an Optimality Theory (OT) (Prince & Smolensky 1993) framework, contributing new observations regarding the lack of rounding harmony in Tatar, contrary to previous accounts. Through investigation of Tatar’s harmony system, we gain insight into the workings of the language’s phonology and find crucial evidence for the gradual decay of rounding harmony in Turkic languages.

Abstract:

Abstract The Relative Pronoun strategy is commonly used for relativization in European languages such as English – for example: The woman [ who won the lottery ] is my neighbour. In this strategy the head nominal (here the woman) is indicated inside the relative clause by a clause-initial pronominal element (the relative pronoun, here who). The Relative Pronoun strategy has been characterized as an exclusively European areal feature (e.g. Comrie 1998). This article describes this strategy in more detail, as well as previous accounts of its distribution, and goes on to demonstrate that the same strategy is also found in Nama, a Papuan language of southern New Guinea.

Abstract:

Anaphors and the grammatical roles of their antecedents are examined in Finnish language data in order to establish a correlation between two universal hierarchies: the Keenan & Comrie (1977) NP Accessibility Hierarchy and the hierarchy of accessibility of referential expressions (Accessibility Marking Scale) (Ariel 1985, 1988, 1990). A more or less clear correlation pattern between the type of anaphoric NPs and the grammatical roles of their antecedents arises in Finnish intuition data (Section 2), and this pattern is corroborated by the data from prose text counts (Section 3). Even though a one-to-one mapping between the two hierarchies remains an idealization, it is clear that grammatical relations do bear on the type of anaphoric expression employed.

In English, typically a present perfect alongside the adverb just is used to convey this meaning, commonly referred to as perfect of recent past (Comrie 1985) or hot news perfect (McCawley 1971). We show the French passé récent leads to a reading of immediate anteriority, which blocks readings that are available for the passé composé (Bres & Labeau 2015). In a parallel corpus study, we find that the Spanish and French recent past forms have a similar distribution, and the Germanic languages generally use perfect + just in translation. We then provide a DRT analysis to derive immediate anteriority compositionally.

Abstract:

Este trabalho visa fazer uma análise semasiológica do pretérito perfecto espanhol (PC - he estudiado). Para tanto, recorre aos postulados teóricos de Reichenbach (2004), Rojo (1974, 1990, 1999) e Comrie (1976) para descrever os principais valores associados a essa forma verbal pelos estudos descritivos e normativos. Dentre esses valores, destaca-se o de antepresente, que, por isso, recebe especial atenção neste artigo. Contudo, valendo-nos dos referenciais teóricos relativos à temporalidade e aspectualidade, procuramos ainda avaliar outros sentidos também associáveis ao PC. Para evidenciar as descrições realizadas, recorremos a enunciados coletados em gêneros discursivos circulados na esfera jornalística. Como resultado, esperamos poder contribuir um pouco mais para a compreensão do funcionamento dessa forma polissêmica, demonstrando a dinamicidade dessa forma em uso.

Abstract:

It results from the analysis of our data that IL's are actually systematic even if they present a certain variability, due to the fact that they are systems under continuous evolution. Our learners' ILs are characterized by their own rules, rules which do not derive from the interference of the first language but rather from some general and abstract principles which can account for language learning in the most different situations. In particular from our data it results that, at least in earlier stages, semantic features play a more preponderant role than syntactic functions. Moreover IL's seem to be submitted to universal constraints similar to those proposed for natural languages (i.e. language universals such as the "Accessibility Hierarchy" by Keenan and Comrie).

Abstract:

This paper aims to investigate relativization pertaining to the syntax of nominal modification in Ho. Language shows different strategies of relativization such as participial relative clause and relative pronoun (or adverb) clause. In addition, there are three possibilities of the head position; i) postnominal relative clause, ii) prenominal relative clause, and iii) internally headed relative clause. Moreover, Keenan and Comrie (1977) proposed the noun phrase accessibility hierarchy which they claim as a universal that languages vary with respect to which NP positions can be relativized and the variation is not random but is dependent on the other positions. Therefore, in this paper, we would like to present or explore relativization of noun phrase in Ho within the study of various aspects of relativization.

Abstract:

This work provides an analysis of inchoative, morphological and analytical causatives in Pima Bajo, an Uto-Aztecan language spoken in Northwest Mexico. It is argued that for the analysis of these constructions it is useful not only to pay attention to the structural morphosyntactic properties, but also to functional values like, spontaneous, direct or indirect causation. All these functional values expressed in the scale: analytical-morphological-lexical causatives, proposed by Comrie (198:333). Constructions obtained from verbs selecting object complements, show that they could also be explained by considering the same kind of functional values. The scale previously mentioned, it is also useful to explained the fact that Pima Bajo doesn´t allow double object causatives. The scale makes unnecessary the Principle of Argument Density proposed by Song (1996).

Abstract:

Various facets of the general topic of multilingualism have been dealt with in previous ARAL volumes and as a major substantive focus in Volumes 6 and 14. Nonetheless, it does not seem at all surprising that we return to the topic in Volume 17 given the worldwide incidence of the phenomenon and the attention, and often controversy, which it arouses. Despite pressures and influences toward commonality from a seemingly pervasive mass media, the residents of the world continue to speak an amazing array of mutually unintelligible languages (see, for example, Bright 1992, Cheshire 1991, Comrie 1987, Edwards 1995). These languages vary in typological characteristics, geographical spread, and number of speakers. If written, they also vary in terms of the type of system that is used to record them (e.g., alphabetic, logographic, syllabic-alphabetic).

Abstract:

Through an investigation of morphologically defective pronominal object paradigms in a number of northern Italian dialects, this article offers a reflection on the relation between the development and the loss of linguistic items based on the reconstruction of the possible diachronic path that has led to the current situation. The paper sets out to achieve two objectives. First, it presents a detailed description of the peculiarities of the object clitic paradigm in the northern Italian dialects and places them within the wider Romance context. Secondly, it discusses and evaluates the way the processes of emergence and loss of linguistic items relate to one another, with specific reference to what appears to be a more general hierarchy operative in languages, the Referential Hierarchy (Silverstein 1976, Comrie 1981, and many others).

Abstract:

Resumo: A natureza camaleônica do pronome SE tem dado margem a estudos que abordam principalmente problemas relacionados à passivização, à indeterminação do agente e à reflexivização: três de suas colorações mais freqüentes. No âmbito geral é meu objetivo mostrar com esse trabalho que as três colorações deste pronome camaleão podem se manifestar simultaneamente e que considerações relativas à posição de certos elementos na sentença, à especificação semântico-pragmática do item lexical em questão (i.e. no caso do verbo) e o contexto pragmático em que a sentença se insere são indispensáveis no sentido de determinar a função exata desse pronome nassentenças do português. Mais detalhadamente pretendo mostrar que o português apresenta evidências do que Comrie (1977) chama 'Spontaneous Subject Demotion' (doravante: Deslocamento Espontâneo do Sujeito), fenômeno esse que envolve tanto as construções com SE como construções sem SE, i.e. construções normalmente consideradas como ativas.
