Agreement of sentence final particles with the subject in Sample Clauses

Agreement of sentence final particles with the subject in jussive clauses In jussives, the subject is always the addressee in imperatives, the speaker in promissives, and the addressee and speaker in exhortatives. The idea, then, is first, the sentence final particles convey information concerning the subject. More specifically, their job is to express the person(s) whose to-do list is to be updated. Thus, -la marks that the subject is the addressee, grammatically realized as second person. The sentence final particle -ca in exhortatives marks that the subject is the speaker and the addressee, grammatically real- ized as first person inclusive of the addressee. -Ma in promissives marks that the subject is the speaker, grammatically first person. Second, this role of the particles is achieved through an agreement mechanism between the per- sons and the particles. To implement this idea, I claim the followings: • Cross-linguistically, in jussives the subject must coincide with the addressee/speaker (Xxxxx et al. 2004). Hence, the individual whose To- do list needs to be updated must coincide with the addressee/speaker. Such restriction on the subject of jussives can be captured by the pres- ence of Addressee/Speaker Projection in the syntax of jussives. • The sentence final particles are spell outs of the addressee/speaker head and the modal head which are the composite of [+modality, addressee and/or speaker] features in the Distributed Morphology framework. -la: [+modality, +addressee, -speaker] -ma: [+modality, -addressee, +speaker] -ca: [+modality, +addressee, +speaker].5 • Modal in jussives is a raising predicate, like other modals, hence the subject raises to the specifier position of ModalP. • Addressee/SpeakerP semantically binds a variable of the subject in jus- sives and this achieves the interpretive restrictions on the subject that it always coincides with the addressee/speaker. (See Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx 2004 for details) • As the sentence final particles are spell outs of the Modal and ad- dressee/speaker head, and the subject in jussives is semantically bound by Addressee/SpeakerP, there is a vacuous agreement between the sub- ject and the sentence final particles.
