Abstract:

Switch reference is a grammatical process that marks a referential
relationship between arguments of two (or more) verbs. Typically it has been
characterized as an inflection pattern on the verb itself, encoding identity
or non-identity between subject arguments separately from traditional person
or number marking. In the 50 years since William Jacobsen’s coinage of the
term, switch reference has evolved from an exotic phenomenon found in a
handful of lesser-known languages to a widespread feature found in
geographically and linguistically unconnected parts of the world. The growing
body of information on the topic raises new theoretical and empirical
questions about the development, functions, and nature of switch reference, as
well as the internal variation between different switch-reference systems. The
contributions to this volume discuss these and other questions for a wide
variety of languages from all over the world, and endevaour to demonstrate the
full functional and morphosyntactic range of the phenomenon.
