[Lingtyp] pour ma these Re: Any references on sequential devices?

[Paul Hopper]

There's some discussion of this topic in an older (1979) article of mine, "Aspect and foregrounding in syntax," including some Swahili examples.  It's available at https://cmu.academia.edu/PaulHopper

Dear Jesús,

this is an interesting topic! In Oceanic, there are markers that seem to move between TAM marking and discourse structure, as described in some detail by Lichtenberk (2014). We also come across phrases that are usually translated as "and then" in Oceanic a lot, but I'm not aware of any publications on that. Feel free to get in touch should you be interested in looking at some relevant primary data.

Best,

Dear Jesús,

First of all: your project sounds very interesting and I would like to hear more about it.

'Narrative' / 'subsecutive' / 'consecutive' markers are very common in African languages. As for the Bantu language family,  Derek Nurse's (2008) book has a section on them.

In my book (2017) book (section 7.1) you will also find a summary of previous approaches, as well as a description of the two 'narrative' markers found in Nyakyusa (§7.1).
You'll find further useful references in there, of which I'd like to point out Longacre's (1990) as a classic concerning other African language families.
The volume edited by Payne & Shirtz (2015) als includes discussion of narrative morphology, e.g. Seidel's paper on Yeyi (Bantu).
Watter's (2002) on Kham (Sino-Tibetan) also includes an interesting discussion of morphological devices in narrative contexts.

These references are just from the top of my head and are not in any kind of way meant to be concise.

Dear all,

I hope this message finds you doing well.

This is Jesús Olguín. I am a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

I am currently working on a project on sequential devices in the world´s languages, as is shown in the example in (1).


Hoava (Austronesian/Oceanic: Solomon Islands; Davis 2003: 261)

(1)


dae


hele=hele


isa


dae tiqe


sagele


pule


isa





be.finished


rdp=wash


3sg.sbj


and then


go.up


return


3sg.sbj


‘He finished washing, and then he went back up.’

I send you this message because I was wondering if any of you is awared of any references related to this topic.

Any help will be appreciated!

Best,
