“…Outside of focus and reference, indices have been essential in the analysis of switch-reference morphology, which has been recently been analyzed as index-sensitive agreement in Washo (Arregi & Hanink 2018) and Amahuaca (Clem 2019a;b;To appear). Leading analyses of sentence-external same and different also make crucial use of indices Brasoveanu (2011) ;Hardt & Mikkelsen (2015); Hanink (2018).…”

Building on recent work on anaphoric definiteness, this paper presents arguments that there is a general distinction between plain and indexed definite DPs, distinguished by the presence of a syntactically rep- resented index—IdxP—in [Spec, DP]. Typical instances of indexed definites include anaphoric definites, complex demonstratives (e.g. that linguist), and pronominal definites (e.g. we linguists). Several arguments for in- dexed definites are brought together from the syntax and semantics of referential expressions in English and Mandarin and the typology of defi- niteness marking. A new argument for the proposed syntax and semantics is then presented from anaphoric definite DPs in Marka-Dafing (Mande). Co-occurrence restrictions between exophoric and anaphoric demonstra- tives in Marka-Dafing, which are argued to be quite general, provide addi- tional support for the idea that indexed definites use a dedicated syntactic position in [Spec, DP].

In case the subject of the main clause and that of the embedded clause are disjoint in reference, the complementizer assumes the form -š, as illustrated in (2a).…”

You backed me up in every project (and not just by funding all my trips!) and made every opportunity seem accessible. Thank you for creating for many of us a supporting and stimulating work environment in Göttingen.To Sandhya, thank you for caring so much about our work and challenging me to do better, with a fierce attention to detail. I will be eternally grateful for allowing me to go to India on my first fieldwork, it was an incredible experience. A special thanks to Champa and Sundaresan, who made me feel so welcome in their home.To Jegan Murugesan, thank you for your patient and wise companionship during the project, and for always reminding me, when I was freaking out, that this was just a talk, just a meeting, just a thesis. Needless to say, the content of this thesis owes a lot to our project meetings discussions and to our joint discoveries about the AAE.

Clausal embedding in Washo: Complementation vs. modification

This paper concerns clausal embedding in Washo (also spelled Washoe, Wáˑšiw), a highly endangered Hokan/isolate language spoken around Lake Tahoe in the United States. We argue that Washo offers evidence that both complementation and modification are available strategies for subordination, and in doing so contribute more generally to the ongoing debate about how clauses are embedded by attitude verbs. We observe that the embedding strategies of certain predicates in Washo follow from independent properties of clause types in the language. On the one hand, clauses embedded by presuppositional verbs come in the form of clausal nominalizations, which are selected as thematic internal arguments. The DP layer in these complements is responsible for encoding familiarity in a general sense (along the lines of Kastner 2015) both in these complement clauses as well as in other constructions in the language. On the other hand, clauses embedded by non-presuppositional verbs are not selected at all; they are instead adjunct modifiers, which follows from the fact that the attitude verbs they modify are always intransitive. This aspect of the analysis lends support to the property-analysis of ‘that’-clauses (e.g., Kratzer 2006; Moulton 2009; Elliott 2016), but only in certain instances of embedding. We argue that the Washo facts show that selection still plays a role for some verbs, contra theories that do away with it altogether (Elliott 2016), but selection cannot explain everything either, as non-presuppositional verbs are intransitive and do not select at all.
