Abstract

This paper examines a structure in the Bantu language Kinande, namely the so-called sociative causative, where partitive morphology occurs on a nominal without giving the nominal an NP-related partitive interpretation. We argue that the source of the partitivity in this construction lies in the co-extensiveness relation (incrementality relation) between the causing and the caused subevent. Partitive morphology on the nominal signals obligatory licensing of the theme so that it can be properly mapped to the co-extensive subevents.

本文研究了班图语Kinande中的一个结构，即所谓的关联使使句，其中分词形态发生在名义上，而不给名义一个np相关的分词解释。我们认为，这一建构的可参与性的根源在于起因与被起因之间的共广泛性关系(递增关系)。分词法对名义信号的强制许可，使其可以适当地映射到共扩展子事件。

期刊介绍： Linguistic Variation is an international, peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the study of linguistic variation. It seeks to investigate to what extent the study of linguistic variation can shed light on the broader issue of language-particular versus language-universal properties, on the interaction between what is fixed and necessary on the one hand and what is variable and contingent on the other. This enterprise involves properly defining and delineating the notion of linguistic variation by identifying loci of variation. What are the variable properties of natural language and what is its invariant core?
