Manifestations Of Ergativity In Quiché Grammar, Tom Larsen
Manifestations Of Ergativity In Quiché Grammar, Tom Larsen
Tom Larsen
This study examines the various types of ergative phenomena in the grammar of the Mayan language Quiche spoken in Guatemala. There is a brief discussion of the phonology of Quiche together with a discussion of the various orthographies which have been used to write the language. This is followed by discussions of the morphology of pronouns, nouns, adjectives, intransitive verbs, transitive verbs, positionals, adverbs, and particles. These discussions include a complete and thorough account of the inflectional morphology, including the ergative/absolutive verb agreement system. There are also brief discussions of the more important derivational processes. This is followed by a …

Feature Geometry And Dependency: A Review, John J. Mccarthy
John J. McCarthy
A fundamental problem in phonological theory is the fact that processes often operate on consistent subsets of the distinctive features within a segment, like the features that characterize place of articulation. Recent research has responded to this problem by proposing a hierarchical organization of the features into functionally related classes, grouped under nodes of a tree structure. This ‘geometry’ resembles earlier theories that accomplish the same thing with multivalued features. This article reviews and expands the evidence for feature geometry. Within the segment, it is argued, the major dichotomy is between a Laryngeal node and a Place node. The manners …
