Little Tagalog
Bare Grammars are a simple and straight-forward model for syntax. Normally, the lexicon in such a grammar is kept very minimal: each lexical item is an ordered pair consisting of the string and its category. However, the simplicity of such a lexicon can make formulating rules that are succinct and that capture grammatical regularities impossible. In this paper I propose that adding more informa...
متن کاملEvent Existentials in Tagalog
This paper proposes an analysis of a relatively under described existential construction in Tagalog. This construction at first glance appears to embed a relative clause under the existential predicate. However, it differs from this type of existential in two crucial respects. The complement of the existential verb allows extraction, demonstrating that it is not a DP. Additionally, rather asser...
متن کاملDefiniteness and implicatures in Tagalog∗
The use of an indefinite NP often implies that the NP’s descriptive content is instantiated by more than one individual. But do indefinites conventionally signal this notion of nonuniqueness or does nonuniqueness arise pragmatically, via reasoning about scalar alternatives? In this paper I argue that in Tagalog, indefinite bare NP patients are only able to implicate nonuniqueness if there is a ...
متن کاملCross-serial dependencies in Tagalog
There are two salient linguistic uses of adjunction: for analyzing long-distance wh-movement (and related movement types) in many languages and for analyzing cross-serial dependencies (CSD) in Dutch and Swiss German. While the need for and the adequacy of adjunction to model wh-type movement have been questioned (Rambow and Vijay-Sbanker, 1998; Rambow et al., 2001), CSD seems ideally suited for...
متن کاملLexical categories and voice in Tagalog
The meaning and lexical category of so-called verbal roots is one aspect of the voice systems in Tagalog and other Philippine-type languages which has received little attention in the controversy surrounding the analysis of these systems. It is common to assume that these roots cannot occur without any affixation and that, therefore, they should be considered precategorial. Here it is shown tha...
