Abstract:

This thesis deals with differential indexing, i.e. intra-linguistic variation
in bound verbal person marking, and the referential and discourse-structural
factors which trigger it. Although the same underlying factors for
differential indexing, such as animacy and definitness, can be encountered
again and again across languages, the exact manifestation of these factors has
to be viewed language-specifically. Not only can languages differ with regard
to the relevant factors themselves, but also with regard to where a line is
drawn on the respective hierarchies associated with those factors, or whether
there is a precise line to be drawn at all. Additionally, if there is more
than one factor identified as being involved in indexing, the extent to which
these impact or depend on one another remain to be determined. This thesis
comprises four articles, viz. three in-depth case studies on differential
indexing in the languages Ruuli (Bantu), Maltese (Semitic) and Gutob (Munda),
and one typologically informed discussion of the phenomenon, looking into
structural and functional differences and similarities of differential
indexing for the A as well as the P role.
