posted on 2018/07/18 by martin haspelmath 3 the topic of differential object marking (dom), or more broadly differential argument marking , continues to be popular in different circles. the journal linguistics had a special issue in 2014 with 11 papers, there is a recent langsci volume on the diachrony of differential argument marking (coedited by my leipzig colleague ilja a. seržant ), and there is also a steady stream of mgg papers on the topic continue reading → martin haspelmath more posts posted in article comments , observations | 3 replies is iconicity a better explanation for inalienable adpossessive marking after all? posted on 2018/05/29 by martin haspelmath 4 many languages have different adpossessive (= adnominal possessive) constructions for inalienable possessed nouns (= body-part or kinship nouns) and all other nouns. for example, maltese has id pietru ‘pietru’s hand’ with no marker when a body-part is possessed, but il-ktieb ta’ pietru [the-book of pietru] with a possessive preposition when an alienable noun is possessed. continue reading → martin haspelmath more posts posted in article comments | 4 replies syntax and didactics (a reply by koeneman and zeijlstra) posted on 2018/05/25 by martin haspelmath reply the following text is a reply by olaf koeneman & hedde zeijlstra to martin haspelmath’s earlier post ( confused by syntax ) we thank martin haspelmath for allowing us to reply to his review of our book. we have divided our reply in two parts. in the first part, we make explicit what our choices have been in writing this textbook and why we made them. we believe that quite a few of martin’s criticisms relate to these, often didactic, choices. in the second part we reply to some of the more detailed comments continue reading → martin haspelmath more posts posted in book comments | leave a reply confused by syntax: some notes on koeneman & zeijlstra (2017) posted on 2018/05/25 by martin haspelmath 2 (see also a reply to this critical review by the authors: “ syntax and didactics “) a new authoritative textbook on chomskyan syntax papers in the framework of current mainstream generative grammar (mgg) are often difficult, or even impenetrable, to read, even when the reader is well-versed in syntax and in other models of generative syntax. they are mostly written for the community of practitioners, who naturally do not see a need to motivate their choices. i was thus happy to see a new textbook ( “introducing syntax”, koeneman & zeijlstra 2017 ), published by an authoritative publisher, and approved by noam chomsky himself continue reading → martin haspelmath more posts posted in book comments , opinion | 2 replies does less restrictiveness mean progress in grammatical theory? posted on 2018/05/24 by martin haspelmath 3 one prominent way of expressing the goal of what is often called “grammatical theory” (or “linguistic theory”) is to say that it aims to establish an innate architecture and a set of features and categories that are rich enough to account for everything we find in the world’s languages, but restrictive enough to explain the gaps in what we see and to explain why we can acquire languages despite the poverty of the stimulus. i always found the first goal absolutely compelling continue reading → martin haspelmath more posts posted in opinion | 3 replies what’s the point of the negative reviews? posted on 2018/05/21 by martin haspelmath reply scientists don’t get a lot of positive feedback for their work: often it’s just two or three questions after a conference talk, by friendly colleagues who understood the talk only partly – and all this after months of work that went into this talk. and reviewers of journal papers are often downright negative – getting one’s journal-paper reviews back can be a depressing experience. continue reading → martin haspelmath more posts posted in opinion | leave a reply more on universals of case-marking from the perspective of nanosyntax: van baal & don (2018) posted on 2018/05/01 by martin haspelmath 4 in a recent blogpost , i promised that i’d pay more attention to the nanosyntactic approach if the authors look at more representative samples of the world’s languages, and it turns out that this is not difficult, because the fair open-access journal glossa regularly publishes papers in this vein. a recent paper is van baal & don (2018) , on universals of possessive pronouns , based on a sample of 50 languages. continue reading → martin haspelmath more posts posted in article comments | 4 replies asymmetric coding in grammars and frequency-induced predictability posted on 2018/04/24 by martin haspelmath 1 over the last decade, i have often argued that grammatical coding patterns can be explained by frequency of use. in this blogpost, i provide a short summary of the claims for those who are not familiar with the argument. what i’m claiming is not that i can explain language-particular patterns – the claim is entirely at the level of general linguistics , i.e. i am proposing an explanation of cross-linguistic tendencies. the tendencies that can be explained in this way are coding asymmetries , i.e. pairs of grammatical meanings that are in paradigmatic opposition and where one of the members shows a strong cross-linguistic tendency to be expressed by a longer form (which often means that the shorter form is zero). continue reading → martin haspelmath more posts posted in articles | 1 reply coexpression patterns of complementizers, nanosyntax, and productivity posted on 2018/04/23 by martin haspelmath 2 since the 1980s, typologists have often summarized coexpression patterns (or “polysemy patterns”, or “syncretism patterns”) by semantic maps , as illustrated here for case expression (narrog & ito 2007: 282): (for general introductions to semantic maps, see haspelmath 2003 ; georgakopoulos & polis 2018). the claims about possible coexpression pattern that a semantic map makes continue reading → martin haspelmath more posts posted in article comments | 2 replies what is the name of my subfield (or subcommunity): language typology, linguistic typology, or comparative linguistics? posted on 2018/02/27 by martin haspelmath 20 many linguists recognize typology as a subfield of linguistics, but what is the precise name of this subfield? “ language typology ”? “ linguistic typology ”? or maybe simply “ comparative linguistics ”? continue reading → martin haspelmath more posts posted in articles , general | 20 replies facing the challenge of gener
