Complex pronominal marking on the verb is very common in many languages and language families around the world (e.g. American Indian languages, Australian languages, Caucasian languages). Usually these forms are not agreement markers, but represent one or more core arguments of the clause. In this view, lexical NPs are considered adjuncts or appositions. Especially in polysynthetic languages, morphological and syntactic aspects of these complex pronominal expressions interact.
This workshop will focus on the characteristics of pronominal morphology, the characteristics of pronominal syntax, and the interaction of both. Topics include: the categorical distinctions expressed (e.g. person, number, gender, honorifics); the position and order of pronominals in complex templates; the grammatical roles expressed in pronominal paradigms; the status of lexical NPs; the specific relationship between lexical and pronominal expression; the correlation between word order and pronominal arguments; case marking of pronominal arguments in the view of head- and dependent-marking typology; grammaticalization of complex pronominal paradigms.
