[Lingtyp] Demonstratives as nominalizers

[Adam Singerman]

Dear Zahid,

In Tuparí, a Tupían language of Brazil, the morpheme HÈ — a third person
pronoun/demonstrative — can also function as a clausal nominalizer. Clauses
nominalized by HÈ are fully finite, maintaining all the tense, aspect, and
evidentiality morphology of matrix clauses (and a subset of the mood/clause
type morphology as well). These clausal nominalizations have a wide range
of functions, including internally headed relatives, headless relatives,
complements of factive predicates, etc. More here:

Best,
Adam
