Abstract

This article presents obligatory control constructions in San Martín Peras Mixtec, a language in which PRO must be exponed with an overt pronoun. I propose a morphological analysis of this phenomenon in which this language lacks a null allomorph for bound minimal pronouns (Kratzer 2009, Safir 2014, Landau 2015, 2018), posited to underlie silent PRO in other languages. This suggests that null exponence ought not be ontologically tethered to PRO’s distribution or interpretation, but can rather be reduced to the routine functions of language-specific contextual allomorphy.

强制性公开PRO在圣Martín Peras Mixtec

本文介绍了San Martín Peras Mixtec语言中的强制控制结构，在该语言中PRO必须用显性代词来表示。我提出了对这一现象的形态学分析，在这一现象中，该语言缺乏绑定最小代词的空变体（Kratzer 2009，Safir 2014，Landau 20152018），被认为是其他语言中无声PRO的基础。这表明，零表达不应该在本体论上与PRO的分布或解释联系在一起，而是可以简化为特定语言的上下文变体的常规功能。
