535 Assignment 19

Rice on Athapaskan Verb Chapts 9 and 10

1.   Explain how the facts from conjunction show that 1st and 2nd person subject affixes are true agreement, while the 3rd person subject affixes are not true agreement.

2.   What is a 'disjoint anaphor'?

3.    What evidence does Rice give to argue that the g- (j, q, k, h, x) 'subject' plural marker is not in fact a subject marker, but rather just a 'human plural' marker that can combine with a disjoint object anaphor to give a 'disjoint with plural c-commanding NP' meaning?
