<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Dear Cat,<br>in Nakh-Daghestanian, some lexical but also grammatical morphemes have an obligatory slot for gender agreement, i.e. they do not occur without a gender marker. There is no established term for this situation, but e.g. <a href="https://www.academia.edu/26227785/">Harris & Antonenko</a> use the term "co-morpheme" to refer to the "constituents" of such combinations.<div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Timur Maisak</div></div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">чт, 6 мар. 2025 г. в 17:47, Cat Butz via Lingtyp <<a href="mailto:lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org">lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org</a>>:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Dear community,<br>
<br>
I hope you're all doing well.<br>
<br>
Let's say we have three grammatical morphemes: A, B, and C. Let's say <br>
they all modify verbs.<br>
<br>
A occurs as the only modifier of a verb, but it also co-occurs with B.<br>
B doesn't occur on its own, but always co-occurs with A or C.<br>
C doesn't occur on its own, but always co-occurs with B.<br>
<br>
So we have the following combos:<br>
<br>
A-verb<br>
B-A-verb<br>
B-C-verb<br>
<br>
Do you know any kind of terminology for describing this sort of <br>
interdependence of morphemes, where we have e.g. "independent" ones like <br>
A, "kind of dependent" ones like B, and "fully dependent" ones like C? <br>
Is there any literature on this?<br>
