Abstract

Abstract:Standard negation in Pangasinan comes in two forms, ag and aga. Benton's 1971 grammar of Pangasinan describes the aga form of negation as occurring specifically with third-singular pivot arguments, which if correct would constitute a typologically unusual instance of marked third-singular morphology. We argue against this characterization and instead propose that aga is an allomorph of ag historically motivated by a disyllabic word minimum requirement, with some conventionalized restrictions on its distribution. We offer an explanation for its incorrect previous descriptions and discuss similar alternations between monosyllabic and disyllabic allomorphs of negation in other Austronesian languages and consequences for the prosodic status of secondposition clitics.

重新审视Pangasinan的否定形式

摘要:Pangasinan语的标准否定有ag和aga两种形式。本顿1971年的《Pangasinan语法》将aga形式的否定描述为专门发生在第三人称单数支点论点上，如果正确的话，这将构成一个类型学上不寻常的标记第三人称形态实例。我们反对这种描述，而是提出aga是ag的异构体，历史上受到双音节单词最低要求的驱动，对其分布有一些约定俗成的限制。我们对其先前不正确的描述提供了一个解释，并讨论了其他南岛语言中单音节和双音节异形否定之间的类似变化，以及对第二位置关键字的韵律地位的影响。

期刊介绍： Oceanic Linguistics is the only journal devoted exclusively to the study of the indigenous languages of the Oceanic area and parts of Southeast Asia. The thousand-odd languages within the scope of the journal are the aboriginal languages of Australia, the Papuan languages of New Guinea, and the languages of the Austronesian (or Malayo-Polynesian) family. Articles in Oceanic Linguistics cover issues of linguistic theory that pertain to languages of the area, report research on historical relations, or furnish new information about inadequately described languages.
