Abstract

Ergativity splits between perfect and imperfective/progressive predicates are observed in languages with a specialized ergative case (Punjabi) and without it (Kurdish). Perfect predicates correspond to a VP projection; external arguments are introduced by means of an oblique case, namely an elementary part–whole predicate saying that the event is ‘included by’, ‘located at’ the argument. A more complex organization is found with imperfective/progressive predicates, where a head Asp projects a functional layer and introduces the external argument. Our proposal further yields the 1/2P vs. 3P Person split as a result of the intrinsic ability of 1/2P to serve as ‘location-of-event’.
否定案例,方面和人的分裂:两个案例研究
完成谓语和不完成谓语/进行谓语之间的格性分裂在有特殊格的语言(旁遮普语)和没有格的语言(库尔德语)中可以观察到。完成谓词对应于一个VP投影;外部参数是通过一个斜格来引入的,即一个基本的部分-整体谓词,它说事件是由参数“包含”的,“位于”的。更复杂的组织是使用不完全/进行式谓词,在这种情况下,首席Asp投射功能层并引入外部参数。由于1/2P具有“事件定位”的内在能力,我们的提议进一步产生了1/2P和3P的人的分裂。
