Sentences of the first edition citing this source

  1. Satō (2016; 2022) provides the fullest typology of Ainu noun incorporation, identifying four types that differ in their effect on verbal valency ; : no page A Typological Profile of Hokkaido Ainu
  2. The alternation is closely related to the productivity of denominal and deverbal derivation: Ainu intransitive verbs freely convert to noun-modifying and compound-forming roots, and transitivisers can reinstate a transitive frame ; . no page Verbal Subclasses: A Valence-Based Word-Class Taxonomy
  3. No read source applies the term "external possession" to Hokkaido Ainu directly; the label "possessor raising" (所有者の主語への昇格) enters the literature with and is restated in ‹contested›. no page External Possession and Possessor Raising
  4. , following , treats body-part NI possessor-raising as an NI-internal process: the incorporated noun's possessor is promoted to clause subject by virtue of the body-part's relative discourse-salience deficit, and the result is an unaccusative predicate. no page External Possession and Possessor Raising
  5. Object incorporation is the unmarked, lexical type and the overwhelming majority in Satō’s Chitose count; it answers to Mithun’s Type I compounding ; ; . 83–84 Valency, Voice, and Noun Incorporation: Overview
  6. Satō classifies Hokkaido Ainu noun incorporation into four types by the grammatical relation of the incorporated noun to the base verb ; ; . 83–84 Object (Patient) Noun Incorporation
  7. The distribution below comes from a count of 517 NI tokens in the Chitose-dialect speech of the narrator 白沢ナベ ; . 83–84 Object (Patient) Noun Incorporation
  8. Its alignment with Mithun's Type I — lexical compounding in which the incorporated noun names a general activity type rather than a specific referent — is consistent with the Chitose data, though the theoretical status of Ainu NI more broadly is a live debate ; ; . 83–84 Object (Patient) Noun Incorporation
  9. Ainu Object NI groups with Mithun's Type I — lexical compounding in which the incorporated noun names the type of object typically affected rather than a referential argument ; ; . 83–84 Object (Patient) Noun Incorporation
  10. Where Object NI is blocked — most critically at the possessor-requiring type (impossible because an inflectional possessor makes the incorporated noun specific, and no reflexive rescue is available) — the function passes to quasi-incorporation (QI), a tight phrasal unit that is idiomatic but not yet a single verb word ; . 88–92 Object (Patient) Noun Incorporation
  11. Satō's Chitose count places subject incorporation at about 14% of all incorporation tokens, divided into three functional subtypes that differ in which noun is incorporated, what happens to the verb's valency, and whether an external possessor must be retained ; . 83–84 Subject Incorporation and Possessor-Stranding
  12. Because the incorporated noun carries its possessive morphology into the verb word, that possessor must surface as an external argument — the phenomenon Satō terms possessor stranding ; . 87–89 Subject Incorporation and Possessor-Stranding
  13. Satō formalizes this as a reflexive-interpretation rescue that offsets most of the markedness penalty that stranding would otherwise attract ; . 87–90 Subject Incorporation and Possessor-Stranding
  14. Satō ranks all incorporation subtypes by a constraint-and-rescue scoring system, where each restriction adds penalty points and each licensing factor subtracts them ; . 88 Subject Incorporation and Possessor-Stranding
  15. The table records both sets of scores; Satō (2022, §5.7) himself describes them as "tentatively defined" ; . 84–88 Oblique Incorporation and the Syntactic-vs-Lexicalist Debate
  16. The absolute values are tentative; the stable result is the rank order and the zero-frequency gap at the bottom ‹corpus-suggested›. 88–89 Oblique Incorporation and the Syntactic-vs-Lexicalist Debate
  17. The hierarchy extends Mithun's four-type scale into the QI domain and provides a unified account of why certain noun-verb collocations lexicalize as NI while others lexicalize as QI ; . 88–92 Oblique Incorporation and the Syntactic-vs-Lexicalist Debate
  18. The Chitose percentages in § are from one narrator; comparable counts for Saru or Horobetsu are not available because the undecidability of third-person tokens in other narrators' texts makes systematic NI frequency comparison across dialects intractable at present ‹speculative›. 84 Oblique Incorporation and the Syntactic-vs-Lexicalist Debate
  19. Satō's analysis, using Role and Reference Grammar, reaches a structurally PAH-like result — person affixes fill the argument positions inside the CORE, NPs sit outside it as optional adjuncts — but within a framework that does not endorse the PAH label, and it explicitly rejects the head-movement analysis of as unable to handle the attested subject incorporation in Ainu (koy-yanke 'the waves wash [me] ashore', where the A argument is incorporated into the verb) ; . no page Pro-Drop, (Non)configurationality, and the Pronominal-Argument Debate
  20. Body-part nouns are the primary context for S-type noun incorporation with valency-retaining effect: when a body-part noun is incorporated as the S argument of an intransitive verb, the possessor of that body part surfaces as an added participant rather than being absorbed, so the construction gains a slot rather than losing one ; . no page Synopsis of Lexical-Semantic Fields
