<div dir="ltr">Dear Sergey,<div><br></div><div>the Oceanic language Daakaka has a group of verbs that are lexically pluractional and contrast with verbs that imply the singular number of their internal argument (S). Productive reduplication of verbs can also indicate pluractionality. My book "A Grammar of Daakaka" should come out this month with De Gruyter, I can send you a copy of the relevant chapter if you like.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Kilu</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 9, 2015 at 4:07 AM, Tasaku Tsunoda <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tsunoda@ninjal.ac.jp" target="_blank">tsunoda@ninjal.ac.jp</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
