Inverse number #

Kiowa-Tanoan verbal agreement distinguishes singular, dual, plural and inverse. Inverse is not a number value alongside the others ([Cor00], §5.5: inverse systems "are a matter of morphological arrangement and not of semantic values"); on [Har11]'s analysis it is what a D head shows when its [±atomic] and [±minimal] features are valued from two sources, the noun's inherent number and its natural number, and one feature receives both values. A Valuation records the values each feature has received, Valuation.agree merges an inherent and a natural valuation, and Valuation.category reads off the agreement category: inverse iff some feature is valued both ways, otherwise the number the values spell.

The values a D head has received in [±atomic] and [±minimal].

  • atomic : Finset Bool

    The values received in [±atomic].

  • minimal : Finset Bool
