Abstract:

In "Multiple Object Constructions in P’orhépecha", Capistrán offers a detailed
description of double and triple object clauses in P’orhépecha, a Mesoamerican
isolate with a case system lacking an accusative-dative distinction. Regarding
argument realization, Capistrán discusses alternating constructions and a
construction split triggered by the person hierarchy. Valence-affecting
operations—applicative, causative/instrumental and part-whole lexical
suffixes—are examined, highlighting the person features of applicative
suffixes and the complex part-whole morphology. Capistrán’s analysis
demonstrates that in P’orhépecha most object coding properties show a neutral
pattern, while all behavioral properties present asymmetries that shape a
secundative pattern or PO/SO alignment. Capistrán argues that the strong
tendency in P’orhépecha to determine PO selection according to a thematic
ranking helps explain the (un)grammaticality of tritransitive constructions.
