Many languages have past-and-counterfactuality markers such as English simple past. There been various attempts to find a common definition for both uses, but I will argue in this paper that they all problems with (a) ruling out unacceptable interpretations, or (b) accounting the contrary-to-fact implicature of counterfactual conditionals, (c) predicting observed cross-linguistic variation, combination thereof. By combining insights from two basic lines reasoning, propose and transparent...
Abstract Like many languages of the world, Oceanic language Daakaka (Vanuatu) uses idiomatic combinations body-part terms and verbs to express emotions, medical conditions related concepts. However, differ in how they same concepts nominally. I will contrast nominalization strategy found with other discuss differences. argue that is less transparent than its alternatives but it allows for formation a paradigm also includes meteorological expressions. This phenomenon highlights need look...

The question of whether irrealis is a meaningful concept in crosslinguistic comparison has been the subject long-standing controversy. In this article, we argue that semantic domain irreality split into two domains—the possible and counterfactual—and an 'irrealis' marker given language may refer either to only one these domains or both. A significant part variation what referred by term can be traced back distinction. Other factors obscure realis/irrealis divide include functional...

Abstract Our knowledge about tense, aspect and modality (TMA) in the Oceanic languages of Melanesia has so far been severely limited by lack available data. Habituality particular, as one less described TMA categories, not yet widely discussed for this group languages. Based on corpus data elicitations, we give a detailed overview four languages, identifying common trends addressing specific questions general concern. These include relation habituality to (im)perfectivity between irrealis.
Primary data from small, low-resource languages of Oceania have only recently become available through language documentation. In our study, we explore corpus five Oceanic Melanesia which are known to be mood-prominent (in the sense Bhat, 1999). order find out more about tense, aspect, modality, and polarity, tagged these categories in a subset corpora. For category developed novel tag set (MelaTAMP, 2017), categorizes clauses into factual, possible, counterfactual. Based on an analysis...
Abstract In this paper, we offer the first detailed description of expressions possibility in Oceanic languages Daakaka and Saliba-Logea. We show that these basic are bi-clausal. This suggests that, depending on their intended scope, typological studies modal may need to consider grammaticalized bi-clausal structures which have typically been excluded domain based structural complexity. Relevant features constructions as basic, include frequency, semantic specificity, paradigmatic...
Existing language documentation datasets may be reused in typological research projects, if they can evaluated for suitability. As these implement the FAIR principles insufficiently, and occur diverse data formats, exploration represents an alternative means of evaluation, as well core feature iterative annotation-analysis cycles during project. This paper presents a semi-automated workflow driven by set corpus software, which enables part process, alleviates its cost. The presented software...
