Clusivity: marking types of the first person complex #

A person paradigm marks the three 'we' categories 1+2, 1+2+3 and 1+3 either by a morpheme of their own or by one that also marks a singular category, and groups them in some way. [cysouw-2003]'s Fig. 3.1 writes such a pattern with a letter per specialized morpheme class and a dash where a singular morpheme is reused; of the fifteen possible patterns five are common (his Table 3.2) and form Clusivity. Each type's toPattern is that notation as a setoid on Clusivity.Cell, the four speaker-including categories, the singular speaker standing for any singular morpheme, and the four questions of his Fig. 3.10 are read off the setoid. The First Person Hierarchy (3.26) is the linear order on the types, along which each question's answer is monotone.

The five rare attested patterns ((Pf)–(Pj), his §3.6.6) are not types in this sense and live with the study. The typology is finer than [cysouw-2013]'s WALS chapter, which collapses minimal/augmented into inclusive/exclusive and whose "no 'we'" value is the absence of any first-person non-singular, not Clusivity.noWe.

The five common marking types of the first person complex ([cysouw-2003] Table 3.2, the common five of the fifteen patterns of his Fig. 3.1).

  • noWe : Clusivity

    No 'we' category has a specialized morpheme, as in the English inflection (Pb).

  • unifiedWe : Clusivity

    All three 'we' categories share one specialized morpheme, as English we (Pa).

  • onlyInclusive : Clusivity

    1+2 and 1+2+3 share a specialized morpheme and 1+3 has none, as in Maká (Pc).

  • inclusiveExclusive : Clusivity

    1+2 and 1+2+3 share one specialized morpheme and 1+3 has another, as in Apalai (Pd).

  • minimalAugmented : Clusivity

    All three 'we' categories have separate specialized morphemes, as Ilocano ta tayo mi (Pe, his Fig. 3.6).

          Some 'we' cell is not marked like the speaker (Fig. 3.10's first question).

            Both inclusive cells are marked neither like the speaker nor like the exclusive (Fig. 3.10's second question, read as his Fig. 3.8 reads it for the common types).

              The exclusive is marked neither like the speaker nor like an inclusive cell (Fig. 3.10's third question).

              Instances For

                Minimal and augmented inclusive are marked apart and neither like the speaker (Fig. 3.10's fourth question).

                    The five patterns are distinct.

                    A specialized exclusive requires a specialized inclusive ((3.23), Fig. 3.8).

                    A split inclusive requires a specialized exclusive ((3.24), Fig. 3.9).

                    Position on the First Person Hierarchy (3.26), the number of Fig. 3.10's questions answered positively: no-we, unified-we, only-inclusive, inclusive/exclusive, minimal/augmented.

                      The First Person Hierarchy (3.26) as the order on the types.

                      Equations

                      Each of Fig. 3.10's answers is monotone along the hierarchy, so each type's profile extends its predecessor's by one positive answer.
