Mirror Neurons and (Inter)subjectivity: Typological Evidence from East Asian Languages
Language is primarily constituted by action and interaction based on sensorimotor information. This paper demonstrates the nature of subjectivity and intersubjectivity through the neural mechanism and typological evidence of sentence-final particles from East Asian languages and extends to the discussion of the relationship between them. I propose that intersubjecivity is a kind of embedded or ...
متن کامل‘Give’ Constructions in the Papuan Languages of Timor-Alor-Pantar
This paper describes three-participant 'give' constructions in ten Papuan languages of the Timor-Alor-Pantar (TAP) family. Generally lacking a class of simple ditransitive root verbs, TAP languages express 'give' events by means of biclausal constructions ('take X then give Y'), serial verb constructions ('take X give Y'), or particle-verb constructions originating in serial verb constructions....

متن کاملMED-TYP: A Typological Database for Mediterranean Languages
Electronic databases are increasingly popular tools in typological research. Despite the advantages of such tools, there are problems connected both with their construction and with their standardization. For instance, there is generally a considerable gap between the information stored in typological databases and primary data: primary morphosyntactic data are much more difficult to handle com...
متن کاملThe learnability of constructed languages reflects typological patterns
A small number of the logically possible word order configurations account for a large proportion of actual human languages. To explain this distribution, typologists often invoke principles of human cognition which might make certain orders easier or harder to learn or use. We present a novel method for carrying out very large scale artificial language learning tasks over the internet, which a...
