Panova, Anastasia: A case of morphologically bound complementation in Abaza: an LFG analysis
The present paper deals with morphologically bound complementation, a type of construction where a matrix predicate and the head of its clausal complement constitute a single verb morphologically but retain their syntactic and semantic independence. I analyze one instance of this type of subordination: the construction with an element ʒəš’a ‘seem’ in Abaza (Northwest Caucasian). I discuss previous LFG analyses of morphologically bound complementation constructions and suggest that this class of constructions is a potential domain for expanding the mechanism of Lexical Sharing.
