Claims

A claim is one proposition; under it stand the statements of each source, with the stance that source takes. Claims are grouped by a model from the extracted statements and carry that status until reviewed.

Applicative stacking 7 claims ·8 sentences· 4 examples

How many applicative prefixes can stack on one verb, and in what orders?

  1. The applicative prefixes ko- and e- can co-occur on the same verb stem in either order (ko-e- or e-ko-), each promoting a different participant.
    適用詞接頭辞ko-とe-は同一動詞語幹上でいずれの順序(ko-e-またはe-ko-)でも共起し、それぞれ異なる参与者を昇格させることができる。
    distribution ainu existential ko-e-e-ko-
    asserts bugaeva2006
  2. Double applicatives are restricted to combinations of ko- and e- (ko-e- or e-ko-), where ko- introduces an addressee or recipient and e- introduces content, with no apparent difference between the orders.
    二重適用辞はko-とe-の組み合わせ(ko-e-またはe-ko-)に限られ、ko-が受話者/受取手を、e-が内容を導入し、語順による明らかな差異はない。
    distribution ainu universal ko-e-e-ko-
    asserts bugaevakobayashi2022
  3. Applicative promotion can apply to two different adjuncts on the same verb, producing stacked applicative prefixes such as e-ko-.
    適用詞形成は同一動詞の2つの異なる付加詞に適用され、e-ko-のような累積した適用詞接頭辞を生じさせることができる。
    existence ainu existential e-ko-
    asserts shibatani1990
  4. A second applicative prefix may attach to a verb stem, though such occurrences are very limited.
    動詞語幹に2つ目の適用詞接頭辞が付くことがあるが、そのような生起例は極めて限られている。
    distribution ainu existential
    asserts shibatani1990
  5. Earlier grammars report combinations of valency-changing prefixes such as u-e-, u-ko-, and yay-ko-.
    先行文法書では、u-e-、u-ko-、yay-ko-といった結合価変化接頭辞の組み合わせが報告されている。
    membership hokkaido existential u-e-u-ko-yay-ko-
    reports refsing1986
  6. The combination yayko- expresses action towards oneself and combines with uepekere to form the lexicalized verb yaykouepekere 'think deeply, worry'.
    yayko-の結合は「自身に向かって」という意味を表し、uepekereと結合して「深く考える、心配する」と語彙化した動詞yaykouepekereを形成する。
    form-function hokkaido/southwest/shizunai singular yayko-uepekereyaykouepekere
    asserts refsing1986
  7. The verb uepekere 'tell (a story)' is lexicalized from reciprocal u-, applicative e-, the root peker 'be bright', and causative -e.
    動詞uepekere「(話を)語る」は、相互のu-、適用詞e-、語幹peker「明るい」、使役接尾辞-eから語彙化されたものである。
    form-function hokkaido/southwest/shizunai singular uepekereu-e-peker-e
