<DIV>Bryan - Yes, it was "one of Rudin's papers" :-)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just an unpublished paper from Siouan & Caddoan Conference, 1998. "Postverbal Constituents in Omaha-Ponca". It's definitely a conference draft, not very polished, but I'll be happy to send you a copy. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Looking forward to hearing what you have to say about the problem. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'll be at MALC but not talking about Siouan - I'm giving a paper on Bulgarian/Balkan multiple wh relatives. </DIV>

I'm preparing a handout to<BR>my presentation there, which concerns the problem of postposed<BR>referents in Ponca and Omaha. Since the assumed canonical order is<BR>SOV, of course, any postposed referent begs the question: "Is this a<BR>part of the sentence, or an afterthought?" Erkü in her 1983<BR>dissertation on Turkish claimed that given/activated postposed<BR>referents are intrasentential while non-activated referents are<BR>afterthoughts. This can be tested empirically by looking at prosody,<BR>but unfortunately my data has no prosodic information (you can all<BR>hazard a guess why).<BR><BR>I think Erkü's proposal makes sense for OP, and I remember reading<BR>some sort of discussion of OVS and SVO word order in OP before in<BR>which the same question was raised. Can anyone remind me of where I<BR>might have read that?
