A nonstandard type of affix reordering
View through CrossRef
AbstractThis paper deals with the restrictive (limitative) markerkə̄n‘only’ in Ulcha (Southern Tungusic). This marker has nontrivial positional features: it can attach before inflectional suffixes (as a derivational affix) or after them (as an enclitic). One might see the process of affix reordering described inHaspelmath (1993)as “externalization of inflection”, when a former clitic becomes a derivational affix. However, there is evidence that the uses ofkə̄nafter inflection are innovative as compared to those before inflection, not vice versa, and this direction of diachronic development is very unexpected. In this paper, I propose an explanation for this nonstandard reordering pattern and show that in fact it has the same motivation and the same mechanisms as previously reported types of affix reordering.
