Preface: on the morphosemantics of agreement features

Abstract: In the area of agreement features (canonically: person, number and gender), morphological and typological research on the one hand, and formal semantic research, on the other, have both made significant progress in recent years. Nevertheless with a few notable exceptions (e.g., Schlenker 1999; Harbour 2007) there has been little systematic effort to date to integrate results from the morphology, typology, and formal semantics. For example, Cysouw (2003) constitutes the first major treatment of the range of var… Show more

“…Though this type of phenomenon is not common according to Cysouw (2003:11), its evidential value concerning the feature system is rather direct, compared with that of syncretism, which may involve an elsewhere form used for the residue that does not necessarily form a natural class. Given the additional possibility of accidental homophony (e.g., Bobaljik, Nevins, andSauerland 2011, Harbour 2008), data concerning syncretism require extreme caution in handling, especially when multiple features interact. Mixed placement of agreement markers is free from such complications.…”
