名词上标记物主的代词词缀或附着词与动词上标记论元的人称词缀或附着词之间的形式对应关系的存在和性质,在阐述名词短语结构与小句结构之间的相似性、讨论物主的性质、评估语言之间的遗传和地域联系以及对当前对齐系统的历时解释中发挥了作用,尤其是作格对齐。目前的调查,基于一个样本!57种语言表现出这两种类型的标记,旨在确定是否确实存在跨语言的身份方面的口头论点,表现出形式上的亲和力与拥有者,如果是这样,在何种程度上这些问题可以归因于(i)占有者与被占有者、可传递性占有主语与不可剥夺性占有宾语的语义相似性(H)领属语与及物主语的话语语用相似性大于领属语与宾语的话语语用相似性,以及动词人称形式的对齐。结果表明,虽然可让与性对立与占有者与传递性主体和客体的亲和性之间存在关系,但与先前的主张相反,可让与性占有的标记并不一定来自不可让与性占有的标记。没有绝对的隐含共性被确定为将所有者亲和力的性质与对齐联系起来,尽管当动词形式被作格对齐时,可以观察到对所有者亲和力与及物主语的明显偏好,有时被假设为。
The existence and nature of formal correspondences between pronominal affixes or clitics marking possessors on nouns and the person affixes or clitics marking arguments on the verb has played a r öle in elaborations ofparallels between the structure of the noun phrase and the clause, in discussions of the nature of possession, in assessing genetic and areal connections between languages, and in diachronic explanations for current alignment Systems, particularly ergative alignment. The present investigation, basedon a sample of!57 languages manifesting both types of marking, is aimedat determining whether there indeed are cross-linguistic regularities with regard to the identity ofthe verbal argument which exhibits formal affinities with thepossessor and, ifso, to what extent these regularities can be attributed to (i) semantic similarities between possessor and possessed and the transitive subject in the case of alienable possession and the object in the case of inalienable possession, (H) doser discourse-pragmatic similarities between possessors and transitive subject s than possessors and object s, and (in) the alignment of the verbal person forms. The results suggest that while there is a relationship between the alienability Opposition and possessor affinities with the transitive subject and object, contrary to previous Claims, the markers of alienable possession cannot be taken to be necessarily derivedfrom those of inalienable possession. No absolute implicational universals are identified linking the nature of possessor affinities with alignment, though a discernable preference is observed for possessor affinities with the transitive subject when verbal forms are aligned ergatively, äs has sometimes been hypothesized.
