SUMMARY:Linguistics Colloquium: "What the Ende verb agrees with"
LOCATION:Smith 107
DESCRIPTION:We will be joined by Kate Lindsey\, Assistant Professor of Lin
 guistics at Boston University\, with her talk "What the Ende verb agrees 
 with: distributed exponence\, animacy\, and verbal number in a Papuan lan
 guage"\n\nIn Ende (Pahoturi River\; Western Province\, Papua New Guinea)\
 , four separate pieces of a single verb orient to objects: a tense prefix
 \, an object prefix\, the verb stem\, and a pluractional suffix. In ordin
 ary transitive clauses\, all four converge on the same argument and accor
 d with one another. However\, ditransitives provide some interesting cont
 rasts. Two of the four track an animacy hierarchy and switch from the rec
 ipient to the theme when the theme outranks it\; the other two track numb
 er instead (one is sensitive to duals\, the other to plurals). The result
  is a verb in which one exponent agrees with the theme while another\, in
  the same word\, agrees with the recipient\, and in which all three of Dr
 yer's ditransitive alignment types surface within a single paradigm. In m
 y talk\, I will show how I documented the Ende verb using narrative elici
 tation and a staged video stimulus set\, and explain how Ende verbs agree
