I propose an analysis of the meaning and organization of the text in terms of its cultural context as well as its poetic and rhetorical structure. http://hdl.handle.net/1808/452 Title: THE REFLEXIVE SUFFIX –V IN HUALAPAI *<br/><br/>Authors: Sohn, Joong-Sun<br/><br/>Abstract: Like many other languages Hualapai employs the reflexive suffix for several different grammatical purposes. Unlike them, however, constructions with a reflexive marker in Hualapai are usually not ambiguous with respect to the expected meanings. The unmarked focus of interest in Hualapai discourse is on the present state of affairs. Thus, it is possible, for example, that a clause yields a reflexive meaning in present tense, but a stative one in past tense, with the reflexive meaning backgrounded. It has been found that the Hualapai reflexive has not extended itself to the passive use. One interesting piece of evidence for the non-extension is that when a verb has both transitive and intransitive uses, only the intransitive one can reflexivize. http://hdl.handle.net/1808/451 Title: POINT OF VIEW AND ZIBUN: Toward a Unified Theory of the Japanese Reflexive<br/><br/>Authors: Yabushita, Katsuhiko<br/><br/>Abstract: The predominant view of the binding facts of the Japanese reflexive zibun is that there are two types of uses; one is as a reflexive which is to be bound by the clause-mate subject, and the other one is as the so-called "logophoric" pronoun. Accordingly, the binding theory of zibun along the lines of this view will take the form of disjunction: zibun is bound by an NP if the NP is the clause-mate subject or it is a logophoric NP. However, it is hard to accept the idea of a morpheme one use of which is governed by a purely syntactic property, subjecthood, and the other one of which is governed by a purely semantic/pragmatic property, logophoricity. Such an analysis seems to fail to reach the appropriate level of generalization about the binding facts of zibun. In the current paper, we propose a conceptually more untied view that every instance of zibun should be hound by a point of view, and demonstrate that such a view is superior to the above disjunctive view empirically as well as conceptually.* http://hdl.handle.net/1808/450 Title: A DESCRIPTIVE NOTE ON MALAGASY VERBAL COMPLEMENTATION AND THE BINDING HIERARCHY: With Special Reference to the Occurrence of the Complementizer fa<br/><br/>Authors: Nomura, Masuhiro<br/><br/>Abstract: 'the aim of the present paper is to describe verbal complementation in Malagasy and to consider how the Malagasy data reflect the binding hierarchy proposed by Givon (1980). It will be shown that the Malagasy data provide support for the hierarchy and that the occurrence of the complementizer fa can be accounted for in terms of the strength of binding of the main-clause verb.
