Cysouw, The Paradigmatic Structure of Person Marking (2003) #
A person paradigm is a closed set of markers filling one syntagmatic slot, and its paradigmatic structure is which of its cells share a morpheme. Cysouw replaces the person × number grid by eight referential categories, the three singular participants and the five attested groups 1+2, 1+2+3, 1+3, 2+3 and 3+3, and reads a paradigm's structure off three kinds of homophony among them: singular, horizontal (a singular with a group) and vertical (two groups). The three 'we' categories admit fifteen patterns of specialized marking, of which ten are attested, five common and five rare; the common five obey the addressee inclusion implications (3.23) and (3.24), which, read as conditions, nest along the four questions of his Fig. 3.10 into the First Person Hierarchy (3.26). Chapter 4 surveys the structures of the whole grid, names the common and semi-common ones after exemplar languages, and states two generalizations over them: horizontal homophony spreads along the person hierarchy from the third person upwards, the Horizontal Homophony Hierarchies (4.106) and (4.107), and a paradigm gives up its oppositions in a fixed order, the first person complex first and singular person last, the Explicitness Hierarchy (4.108).
A paradigmatic structure is a setoid on the eight categories, the syncretism of a paradigm's cell-to-form map. The kinds of homophony, the 'we' pattern and both hierarchies are properties of that setoid, and every paradigm printed in chapters 3 and 4 is checked against the book's own classification and generalizations, with the exceptions the book names: Binandere against (3.23), the rare 'we' patterns against (3.24), the English pronouns and a few others against the horizontal hierarchy, and the European singular homophonies and the paradigms with vertical homophony under an inclusive/exclusive opposition against the explicitness hierarchy.
Implementation notes #
- Cells the book draws as one block carry the same form string, so the syncretism of the forms is the book's block notation; fillers such as "(demonstratives)" are kept as printed.
- The named structures are kernels of labellings, the book's letter notation, of which only the kernel matters (his fn. 1, p. 40).
- Table 10.3 prints the descriptions of unified-we and only-inclusive swapped; Table 3.2 is followed.
TODO #
- Chapter 7's dual paradigms, the Dual Explicitness Hierarchy (10.8) and the Dual Homophony Implication (10.3) need cells for restricted groups.
- The zero implications (10.5) and (10.6) need zero marking read off the forms.

The Horizontal Homophony Hierarchy (§4.7, §10.1.4) #
Horizontal homophony holds within a person and, in one person, entails it in every less prominent person, so it appears first in the third person, then the second, then the first ((4.106), (4.107)); diagonal homophony is among the exceptions (§4.7).

Instances For
The named structures are distinct.
Their first person complexes (Fig. 4.4): the Maricopa type has no 'we', the Sierra Popoluca type only an inclusive, the Maranao type a minimal/augmented one, the other types with an inclusive/exclusive opposition are inclusive/exclusive and the rest unified.
Every named structure respects the horizontal hierarchy.
Hierarchy I, with an inclusive/exclusive opposition (Fig. 10.2): Mandara < Tupí-Guaraní < Kwakiutl < Sierra Popoluca, the last rung the exclusive marked like the speaker.
Hierarchy II, without (Fig. 10.3): Latin < Sinhalese < Berik < Maricopa.
Every named structure respects the explicitness hierarchy.

Instances For
Every paradigm the book files under a named type has that type's structure.
Every paradigm of §3.6.6 has the rare pattern it illustrates.
Every chapter-4 paradigm has one of the five common types, §4.2 having set the rare patterns aside.
Addressee inclusion implication I (3.23) over the printed paradigms, Binandere the one exception.
Addressee inclusion implication II (3.24) over the printed paradigms. Its exceptions are the rare patterns that mark the two inclusives apart: (Pf) and (Pg), which the book names, and (Ph), whose paradigm (3.20) the book's list overlooks.
The strong universal 'we' (3.7) fails: the English inflection (4.68) has no 'we'.
The Homophony Implication (2.14), (10.4) over the printed paradigms: singular homophony only in inflectional paradigms. The two independent-pronoun exceptions the book reports, Qawesqar and Winnebago, are described in chapter 2 without a printed paradigm.
The Horizontal Homophony Hierarchy holds of every common and semi-common paradigm; its exceptions, the diagonal cases among them, are rare (§4.3.6, §4.5.7).
Table 4.2's first "nonesuch": under a minimal/augmented inclusive no chapter-4 paradigm breaks the horizontal hierarchy.
Table 4.2's second "nonesuch": no singular homophony under any inclusive/exclusive opposition.
The Explicitness Hierarchy holds of every common and semi-common paradigm.
Singular homophony without vertical homophony is rare, the European paradigms of §4.3.6 (§4.7).
Vertical homophony under an inclusive/exclusive opposition is rare (§4.6, Table 4.2).
Fig. 10.4's exemplars occupy the five rungs: the Waskia present (4.66), the Una undergoer suffixes (4.64), then the Latin, Mandara and Maranao types.
