An Emphatic Auxiliary Construction for Emotions in Copala Triqui

George Aaron Broadwell

Abstract

Many verbs of emotion in Copala Triqui occur in a construction in which an auxiliary verb and copy of the subject appear after the initial Verb-Subj of the clause. This paper proposes a constructional analysis in the formalism of Asudeh, Dalrymple, and Toivonen (2008).
