  • A Typology of Consonant Agreement as Correspondence

  • Sharon Rose, Rachel Walker
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 80 / Issue 3 / September 2004
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    19 February 2026, pp. 475-531

  • This article presents a typology of consonant harmony or LONG DISTANCE CONSONANT AGREEMENT that is analyzed as arising through correspondence relations between consonants rather than feature spreading. The model covers a range of agreement patterns (nasal, laryngeal, liquid, coronal, dorsal) and offers several advantages. Similarity of agreeing consonants is central to the typology and is incorporated directly into the constraints driving correspondence. Agreement by correspondence without feature spreading captures the neutrality of intervening segments, which neither block nor undergo. Case studies of laryngeal agreement and nasal agreement are presented, demonstrating the model's capacity to capture varying degrees of similarity crosslinguistically.

  • Bajau: A Symmetrical Austronesian Language

  • Mark Donohue
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 72 / Issue 4 / December 1996
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    19 February 2026, pp. 782-793

  • Research on causative and applicative constructions has identified a class of symmetrical languages, in which either of two arguments may pattern like the direct object of a primary transitive verb. To date, symmetry of this sort has been identified only in a small geographically contiguous group of Bantu languages. Bajau, an Austronesian language of Indonesia and the Philippines, is shown to be symmetrical. Unlike the Bantu languages previously described, Bajau permits a benefactive applied object to be treated like an ordinary direct object. The restriction on the extraction of benefactive applied objects must therefore not be universal, contrary to the assumption of previous theories.

  • Evidentiality and Double Tense in Matses

  • David W. Fleck
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 83 / Issue 3 / September 2007
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    19 February 2026, pp. 589-614

  • The Matses language of the Panoan family, spoken in Amazonian Peru and Brazil, has one of the most intricate evidential systems ever described, requiring speakers to precisely and explicitly code their source of information every time they report a past event. In a typologically unique inflectional configuration that I call DOUBLE TENSE the speakers specify both (i) how long ago an inferred event happened and (ii) how long ago the evidence upon which the inference was made was encountered. This article explores in detail the Matses evidential system, focusing on several novel patterns relevant to the typological study of evidentiality and providing social and historical perspectives.
