peer agreement (net): +1dual (person unspecified) Explanation: **Why dual is less marked than plural** I assume Harley and Ritter’s (2002) person features, **with third person unspecified**, [PARTICIPANT] giving first person, and [ADDRESSEE] second person, with ADDRESSEE a dependent of PARTICIPANT. For Case, I follow Béjar and Hall (1999), with a bare case node [K] for subject case, and its two dependents [ACCUSATIVE] and [OBLIQUE] giving object and possessive case respectively. This gives (8) for the first and second person plural possessive pronouns ho÷n÷a:wan and to÷n÷a:wan. http://www.sinc.sunysb.edu/Clubs/nels/abstracts/cowper.pdf |
