Cysouw (2003): The paradigmatic structure of person marking #

The paradigmatic structures of [Cys03]. A person paradigm fills one slot with a closed set of markers over eight referential categories, the three singular participants and the five attested groups, and its structure is which categories share a morpheme: a setoid on Person.Category, the syncretism of the paradigm's cell-to-form map. The book's kinds of homophony, its types of the first person complex and its named structures are properties of that setoid.

Two of the book's generalizations are implicational hierarchies, and each is a lower set of a chain: horizontal homophony reaches the singular persons from the third upwards, and a paradigm gives up its oppositions from the first person complex outwards. The order of asking about the first person complex is the order of implication among the five types, and the order of giving up oppositions the order of implication among the common paradigms the book prints. Every paradigm the book prints is checked against its classification and against the hierarchies, with the exceptions the book names.

Marking types of the first person complex #

The five common marking types of the first person complex, the common five of the fifteen possible patterns.

  • 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).

                        The pattern fits the hierarchy when, read as conditions, each positive answer requires the ones before it, so that the profile is an initial segment of the questions.

                              The order of asking is the order of implication among the five types, one question coming before another exactly when every type that answers the second positively answers the first so.

                              Every common type fits the hierarchy, since a specialized exclusive requires a specialized inclusive and a split inclusive a specialized exclusive, the two addressee inclusion implications.

                              The rung of a type is its profile, a lower set of the questions.

                                The common types are exactly the rungs of the hierarchy, one for each lower set of the questions.

                                In the First Person Hierarchy a type precedes another when it answers fewer of the questions, ordering no-we, unified-we, only-inclusive, inclusive/exclusive and minimal/augmented.

                                Equations

                                Along the hierarchy each type's profile extends its predecessor's.

                                The converse of the first addressee inclusion implication fails at only-inclusive.

                                A paradigmatic structure records which of the eight referential categories share a morpheme.

                                  The singular categories are ordered by person prominence, the order in which horizontal homophony reaches them, the third person first and the first person last.
