Spike Gildea is quite right that 'hit' is not a "prototypical"
transitive verb in that it does not denote a change of state (cf.
Lazard 2002: 152, where this is spelled out very clearly). However,
in our study of valency patterns across 36 languages (Valency
Patterns Leipzig, valpal.info), we did not find substantial evidence
for different coding patterns with 'hit' compared to 'break', 'beat'
or 'kill' (Hartmann et al. 2013; Haspelmath 2015).<br>
<br>
One striking finding of our project was that "transitivity" (as
defined by Lazard) actually extends further in most languages than
would have been expected on the basis of the earlier work by
Tsunoda, Malchukov and others – it seems that the relatively
restricted use of the transitive pattern is (somewhat)
characteristic of Eurasian languages.<br>
<br>
I also agree with Spike that one needs "digestible examples" – as a
regular grammar reader, I often wish that grammar authors would
adopt a more "didactic" or "pedagogical" approach (as suggested by
Sebastian). Naturally occurring examples are great, but for the
grammar reader, they are often hard to make sense of.<br>
<br>
I would go further, though, in pointing out that there need not be
anything wrong with unnatural examples if we are confident of the
analysis. One thing that is really special about Human Language is
that we can talk about anything, including unlikely or even
impossible situations. We are used to inflectional paradigms that
contain very rare forms (e.g. Ancient Greek Pluperfect Middle
ἐπέπραξο 'thou hadst done for thyself'), and we may think of
syntactic examples as *paradigmatic* in a similar way. (In fact, I
have argued that the idea of *completing the syntactic paradigms*
was the major positive innovation of linguistics in the 1960s:

style="font-size:11.0pt">With the modern ability to
record, transcribe, and translate natural speech, modern
linguists should be well beyond the world where we make up
sentences for speakers to translate and then use such
sentences to construct a grammar of the language. Much of
the weirdness of linguists creating falsely violent images
of a speech community will go away when the examples are
selected from narratives or conversations. If fully
natural speech contains excessive complexity (e.g., too
many discourse particles), then naturally-occurring
sentences can be simplified to make more digestible
examples. In my own corpora of Cariban languages, ‘hit’ is
relatively rare (although beautifully illustrated in the
fables), ‘kill’ is extremely common, ‘break’, ‘cut’,
‘clear (a field)’, ‘plant’ and ‘harvest’ are quite common,
and ‘hug’ and ‘kiss’ are vanishingly rare.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoListParagraph"
style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt">As laid out in Fillmore (1970)
the verb ‘hit’ is actually not a prototypical transitive
verb with an affected patient, it is a prototypical
contact-object verb whose direct object may or may not be
affected by the contact. For example, if I hit a stone or
Superman, my hand will surely be more affected than the
object — the fact that humans are often affected when hit
by other humans is arguably not a part of the denotation
of ‘hit’. This is also reflected in the typological
pattern that the second argument of contact-object verbs
is marked not as a patient, but a location (e.g.
Portuguese
<i>bater em</i> ‘hit LOC’). In English, a construction
reminiscent of a light verb using
<i>give</i> occurs with contact-object verbs, e.g. <i>give
X a kiss, hug, punch in the nose</i>, etc. but not
patient-object verbs *<i>give X a kill, break, plant</i>,
etc.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

style="font-size:11.0pt" lang="EN-AU">Hi David. I was
thinking more about what descriptive linguists do rather
than what typologists do, although the two are quite
symbiotic. The design space of language that canonical
typology works within is about ‘theoretical spaces of
possibilities’. I guess I’m thinking about what this might
look like if we moved away from theoretical spaces that
derive from notional ideas of grammar derived from the
classical (Western) grammatical tradition, but rather are
built from the bottom up on the basis of what people talk
about when they talk. There are various approaches to
grammar trying to reconceptualise what grammar looks like
outside of our familiar architectures borne from the
intellectual traditions that most of us in the European
language-speaking world were raised in (Randy LaPolla comes
to mind). Technology just gets better and better for us in
this respect, making it easier to work with ordinary
conversation (which is the home of most language use), and
I’m aware of empirical corpus based approaches to language
description which enable better generalisations over
grammar, founded on large numbers of recordings of ordinary
talk.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt" lang="EN-AU">However the
descriptive data that feeds into typological claims are
based on data sets of variable quality, which I think
obscures things like, for example, the importance of
transitive clauses with two nominal arguments in the grand
scheme of things. There’s no quick fix here, I think.

us a long way from the original point, which was about using
violent sentences in grammars. But focusing on what people
talk the most about (which may vary), without feeling
constrained to find the most transitive construction
possible, might be a good start.

zero or pronominal argument (DuBois’ preferred argument
structure). To what purpose should we be trying to find
the extreme ends of what is possible grammatically, if
this is not something that speakers themselves appear to

“carry” as transtive as “hit”, though?<br>
According to Hopper and Thompson (1980), one of the
factors of transitivity is the affectedness of the
patient.<br>
Hugging or carrying someone does not affect them as
much as hitting does.<br>
Also “hug” is not so basic a word as “hit” is, which
is in the Swadesh List or the Leipzig-Jakarta List.<br>
Of course, hitting someone is a bad thing to do. But
I don’t think linguists should avoid certain
sentences because they depict something morally bad.</span><span

style="font-size:11.0pt" lang="EN-CA">“One of the
problems with publishing some of the sentences
made up by linguists is that they become
instantiations of culture and may perpetuate
negative stereotypes about often already
marginalised people. For example, grammars are
full of sen- tences exemplifying transitivity
using verbs that denote violence. ‘Hit’ is a
classic transitive verb, but so is ‘hug’ or
‘carry’. When you construct sentences for elicita-
tion, avoid topics that refer to violence, sex,
alcohol, drugs (including smoking), child abuse or
neglect, as these may upset people down the track.
Also bear in mind that descendants of the speakers
may read the grammar in years to come, or may be
an audience member in a presentation using data
you collected. Imagine that you are trying to
re-construct your language and the only verb in
the corpus is ‘hit’!</span><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

lang="EN-CA">Today KKY, like many other Australian
Indigenous languages, is endan- gered. The loss of
languages is more than just the loss of spoken
word. It has always been explained to me that
languages are a reflection of a peo- ple’s soul
and way of living in the world. Speakers and
descendants of a language have a role to play in
the preservation and maintenance of that language
but so too do people who work with those
languages, including linguists. It’s important
that linguists are cognisant of the role they play
in acting as a facilitator in the preservation of
languages. Linguists also need to be aware that
language data gathered is presented in a way that
reflects the good faith in which it was given.

<p style="margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:.5in"><span
lang="EN-CA">I was at a linguistics workshop
recently where the presenters offered sen- tences
from an Aboriginal language. One of the sentences
presented in the targeted language translated into
English as ‘The man hit the woman’. For the
purpose of the exercise it seemed to me to be an
unnecessary display of a negative stereotype in a
forum of predominately non-Indigenous linguists.</span><span

something to be scientifically analysed and being
cognisant that the language you’re working with
comes from the soul of a people would surely go
some way to avoiding such unnecessary

Dear all,<br>
I have occasionally been part in discussions
where the frequent use of<br>
violent concepts such as 'hit' or 'kill' in
linguistics is mentioned and<br>
sometimes criticized.<br>
<br>
I believe there is some research article
providing empirical evidence<br>
for linguistic articles being unnecessarily
"violent", but I am unable<br>
to locate it. Could the list members help me?<br>
<br>
Best wishes<br>
Sebastian<br>
<br>
PS: I am aware that 'hit' and 'kill' have a
number of semantic<br>
properties which make them very suitable for a
number of research questions.<br>
<br>
