  • A Non-coreference Rule in Odia

抄録

In Odia, in a specific range of constructions, the subject’s possessor (Pos.S) and the object (O) are prevented from being coreferent. Whereas saying “Babula’s<i> s teacher likes him<i>.” is usually no problem, the same is sometimes impossible. The Non-coreference Rule precludes coreference of Pos.S and O, and it applies only where the subject (S) and the object (O) are marked with the same morphological case and situated within the same clause. Outside of Odia, instances of the Non-coreference Rule, i.e. constraints precluding coreference of Pos.S and O, have been reported from languages of the Americas (the “genitive effect” of Aissen 1997). The grammatical underpinning of the Non-coreference Rule is accounted for by following Aissen (1997) to looking up the relative proximate-obviate ranking among the referents of noun phrases in a clause. The instances of the Non-coreference Rule in the two language sets differ fundamentally with respect to what kinds of clausal environments non-coreference occurs in. This cross-linguistic contrast derives from the typologically opposed characters in the morphosyntax of the languages, namely, dependent marking (Odia) vs. head marking (the languages of the Americas). Finally, parallelisms holding between the Non-coreference Rule and the Person-Case Constraint are sketched.
