Mitrovi´ c & Sauerland: Decomposing coordination / nels44

1 introduction: expression of coordination and quantification Japanese (and Hungarian, Malayalam, ...) vs. English (and German, ...)

  • Japanese: multifunctional mo and ka
  • English: many distinct morphemes

Our Contribution:

  • Arguments against a homophony analysis (cf. Szabolcsi 2013, Slade 2011, Shimoyama 2007, Yat-

sushiro 2002, int. al.)

  • conjunction universally has two morphemes, and and mo, and one tends to be silent
  • disjunction universally involves two morphemes too, and and ka, but the pronunciation is more vari-

able 2 the argument against homophony Hagstrom (1998) and others: mo (‘and’) and mo (‘every’) are homophonous in Japanese. Two counterarguments:

  • 1. within Japanese: coordinated quantifiers
  • 2. historical: disappearance of Japanese-style (mo) coordination in Indo-European

  • Indo-European (IE) shows a syntax (and semantics) of coordination that is consistent with (6)
  • Earliest IE languages show that there existed two types of coordinate structure:

– one in which the coordinator occupies the initial (first), – and another in which the coordinator occupies the peninitial (second) position with respect to

the second conjunct.

  • diachronically, only the initial structure survives (lost across all branches)
