B04 - Interaction of nominal and verbal features for Differential Object Marking

2.Phase B04 Team

Project B04 “Interaction of nominal and verbal features for Differential Object Marking” views Differential Object Marking (DOM) as the result of a complex interaction between nominal features, verbal features, and discourse structure. Following on from the results of phase II, we will investigate (1) specific (sub)classes of the referentiality hierarchy such as definite NPs involving functional and sortal nouns in Old Spanish as well as bare nouns in modern Spanish; (2) the interaction of DOM and clitic doubling of the direct object ‒that is, Differential Object Indexing (DOI)‒ in Argentinian and Peruvian Spanish as well as Istanbul Judeo-Spanish; and (3) the dependency of null objects from prominence management in discourse in Argentinian and Basque Spanish.
