Person portmanteaus are markers which bundle the expression of person for subject arid object of a verbal predicate into a single morphological unit. Although person portmanteaus implement a radically simple altemative to more familiar sttategies of crossreferencing verbal arguments, they are cross-linguistically highly marked, and tend to be restricted to very specific combinations of subject and object. Person portmanteaus may therefore be regarded as a type of argument encoding sui generis as well as a litmus test for general properties of argument encoding in head-marking languages. An important though somewhat paradox property of person portmanteaus is that they are not necessarily unanalyzable. Many such markers can be understood synchronically and/or diachronically as non-portmanteaus, either because they are formed by concatenation from two different person formatives, or because they are identical in form to non-portmanteau person markers.Based on these observations, this project addresses the following closely related questions: 1) Are there systematic restrictions on the location of portmanteaus in paradigms? 2) To which extent are portmanteaus analyzable? 3) What is the formal representation of portmanteaus? 4) What is the extent and distribution of portmanteau microvariation within groups of closely related languages? 5) How do portmanteaus develop historically (and how do they disappear)? To answer these questions, we combine methods from typology, formal morphology, and historical reconstmction. Apart from constmcting a cross-linguistic typological database for person portmanteaus to extract general properties, we focus on the behavior of portmanteaus in three small-scale language families (Nilotic, Iroquoian, and Uralic). For these languages we will provide in-depth formal analyses of the relevant person portmanteaus, investigate the range of microvariation in the families, and attempt to reconstmct the diachronic development of person portmanteaus on the background of the overall pronominal cross-referencing systems (based on the available descriptive literature). From the innovative combination of different methodologies to microvariation data, we expect a better understanding of person portmanteaus, and more generally of syncretism in cross-referencing systems for verbal arguments.

人portmanteaus是标记，将言语谓词对人的表达捆绑到单个形态学单元中。尽管人Portmanteaus对更熟悉的跨文化论点的熟悉的Stategies实现了根本上简单的高度，但它们在跨语言上是高度标记的，并且倾向于仅限于非常具体的主题和对象组合。因此，Portmanteaus可以被视为编码SUI通用的一种参数，以及用标头标记语言编码的参数的一般特性的石蕊测试。 Portmanteaus的一个重要但有点悖论的财产是，它们不一定是一定可以的。 Many such markers can be understood synchronically and/or diachronically as non-portmanteaus, either because they are formed by concatenation from two different person formatives, or because they are identical in form to non-portmanteau person markers.Based on these observations, this project addresses the following closely related questions: 1) Are there systematic restrictions on the location of portmanteaus in paradigms? 2）可以分析Portmanteaus？ 3）Portmanteaus的正式代表是什么？ 4）Portmanteau微交流在密切相关语言中的程度和分布是什么？ 5）Portmanteaus如何在历史上发展（它们如何消失）？为了回答这些问题，我们结合了类型学，形式形态和历史重新组合的方法。除了构成一个跨语言类型数据库以提取普通特性的人外，我们还专注于Portmanteaus在三个小规模语言家族（Nilotic，iroquoian和uralic）中的行为。对于这些语言，我们将对相关人士Portmanteaus进行深入的正式分析，研究家庭的微交流范围，并试图在整个代词交叉推荐系统的背景下重新阐述人的毒理学发展（基于可用的描述性文献）。从不同方法的创新组合到微交流数据，我们期望对人的Portmanteaus有更好的了解，以及更普遍地对跨引用系统中的综合主义进行口头论证。
