Universal 1634: polysynthesis ⇒ \u00ac nonfinite verb forms<\/h3>\n
\n
Original<\/dt>\n
IF there is polysynthesis (essentially, noun incorporation and bound agreement\/cross-reference markers for subject and object(s) on the verb, thus with no independent NPs necessary for complete clauses, and without the absence of NPs being analysable as pro-drop), THEN there are no non-finite verbal forms (i.e., every verb form exhibits full inflection for person and tense-aspect) \/ no non-finite subordinate clauses.<\/dd>\n
Standardized<\/dt>\n
IF there is polysynthesis, THEN there will be no non-finite verb forms \/ no non-finite subordinate clauses. <\/dd>\n

Polysynthetic languages in Baker 1996<\/a> like Mohawk (Iroquoian), Nahuatl (Uto-Aztecan), Kiowa (Kiowa- Tanoan), Gunwinjguan (Gunwingguan, Australian), Wichita (Caddoan), Chukchi (Chukchi-Kamchatkan), Ainu (isolate). Non-polysynthetic languages like Greenlandic (Eskimo-Aleut), Lakhota (Siouan), Slave (Athabaskan), Alamblak (Sepik-Ramu), Chichewa (Bantoid, Niger-Congo), Choctaw (Muskogean)<\/dd>\n

Counterexamples<\/dt>\n
Possible counterexamples: Rembarrnga (Gunwingguan, Australian), Chukchi (Chukchi-Kamchatkan) (Baker 1996: 475-484). However, Nordlinger & Saulwick (2002) argue against Baker who claims the verb in the relevant constructions are either fully finite (owing to the presence of pronominal prefixes) or nominalisations).<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
