Topic: Suffixaufnahme


In the News (Mon 6 Oct 08)

  
  Suffixaufnahme - FrathWiki
Suffixaufnahme is a grammatical device that occurs in some languages with case systems.
It means that possessors are inflected for the case and number of the possessee as if they were adjectives.

 Old Albic - FrathWiki
The case of the possessum is marked on the genitive by suffixaufnahme.
Suffixaufnahme is only mandatory if the dependent noun is moved away from the head noun; in ordinary speech, the secondary endings are usually omitted.
When the object of a preposition is a pronoun, the pronoun precedes the preposition (which thus acts as a postposition) and is combined with it into a single word.

Universal #1287 posits hierarchies which are equally meaningful as timeless crosslinguistic constraints on segment inventories and as steps in the historical spreading within a language of the process in question, with the author of the universal himself wavering between an achronic and a diachronic reading.
If a language has Suffixaufnahme both in headed and headless NPs at one time and at some later time it has Suffixaufnahme in only one of the two contexts, that context is headless NPs.
IF there is Suffixaufnahme both in headed and headless NPs at one time and at some later time there is Suffixaufnahme in only one of the two contexts, THEN that context is headless NPs.

 Double Case
It consists of a nominal that is case marked for its own grammatical relation, typically that of an attribute in a possessive construction taking another case in agreement with the nominal it is in construction withschematically "in-the-palace in-the-king's".
Offering in-depth descriptions of all the core cases of Suffixaufnahme and of a variety of less prototypical ones, these essays highlight the considerable significance of this pattern for linguistic theory.
Ostensibly marginal, Suffixaufnahme bears on several fundamental issues in syntax and morphology.

IF there is Suffixaufnahme, THEN basic order is verb-initial or verb-final.
IF there is Suffixaufnahme, THEN alignment is ergative or otherwise non-accusative.
Often enough, when implications which are entered individually in the archive are connected, and transitivity is employed to link directly variables which are only linked indirectly in such chains, there is no encouragement but cause for concern.

After that we will look at the structural range of possessive NPs in the languages of the world, i.e., at how different languages render such phrases as Peter's house, the girl's hat and a boy's foot /sister.
The structural diversity in this domain is truly fascinating; some of the phenomena (e.g., Suffixaufnahme) are especially striking.
Since many languages make use of several different possessive constructions, we will discuss the various structural splits pertaining to possessive NPs across languages, including splits in accordance with the possessor's animacy / referentiality / topicality, and alienability splits.

This can be due to adnominal multiple case marking where two or more cases are assigned to a nominal.
This type has been known as "Suffixaufnahme." The recent book Double Case (Plank 1995) gives a good survey of this topic (including data from Australian languages).
A further possibility is derivational multiple case marking ("compound cases").

 Albic
The Albic languages seem to be distantly related to Indo-European and share a number of features (such as VSO word order and initial mutations) with the Celtic languages of the British Isles as well as with the Pictic family; these three families thus form a linguistic area (see this article
The Albic languages are active-stative languages of the fluid-S subtype; other interesting features include autosegmental behaviour of vowel features (leading to various umlaut and vowel harmony phenomena), marking of DegreesOfVolition by various noun cases, and suffixaufnahme (i.e., possessors agree with the possessee in number and case in addition to their own number and case marking).
I posted this sketch of Old Albic on June 21, 2004, to the ConlangMailingList.

However, it is not the phenomenon of double case marking in itself - or suffixaufnahme - fascinating though it is, which is the main focus of the present paper.
What goes for the future also goes for the conditional, which is etymologically simply the past of the future.
We refer the reader to Plank (1995) for excellent descriptions of suffixaufnahme in a wide variety of languages.
