Dear Joseph,

In our new volume Clause Chaining in the Languages of the World (OUP, 2024), there are a few chapters with exemplification of multiple medial verb suffixes or converb suffixes on a single verb (under (1), below). There are also mentions and illustration of medial verbs that are followed by coordinating enclitics or stand-alone conjunctions (under (2), below).

1. Co-occurrence of medial affixes/clitics on a single verb:
The most extensive discussion of this for a language in this volume is for Dzongkha (Chapter 19):

Watters, Stephen. 2024. Clause chaining in Dzongkha. In Clause Chaining in the Languages of the World. Edited by: Hannah S. Sarvasy and Alexandra Y. Aikhenvald, Oxford University Press. 513-546.

There is also discussion in at least the following places:

Ch. 7, on Finisterre Papuan languages:
            pp. 196-7:       Nungon and Yau ‘perfect’ marking (taken by Roberts 1997 for Yau to be double marking, but which I analyze differently for the closely related Nungon)
            p. 210:             Irumu double marking (apparent use of a DS suffix followed by an SS suffix)

2. Co-occurrence of a medial verb or converb suffix with a coordinating enclitic or free conjunction:

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone could point me to any sources or have that report
on clause linker stacking/co-occurrence of clause linkers in a single
clause. Esp looking for examples from languages with clause chaining and/or
switch reference where linker stacking occurs in one or more constructions.
(Unpublished examples also welcome).

Roberts' 1997 (137, 194) work on switch reference in languages of New
Guinea claims that for languages with clause chaining, co-occurrence of
markers is found exclusively in New Guinea, and even then only in a handful
of languages. Wade 1997 is the only paper I know of that focuses on this
topic explicitly, for the Apal? language.

Thanks,
Joseph
