New insights into lakota syntax: the encoding of arguments and the number of verbal affixes

This paper examines the morphosyntax of transitive constructions in Lakota, with particular emphasis being placed on the encoding of arguments. The analysis of argument marking through verbal affixes in Lakota transitive constructions raises two main questions: the existence or non-existence of the...

The analysis of argument marking through verbal affixes in Lakota transitive constructions raises two main questions: the existence or non-existence of the zero marker for the third person singular and the maximum number of bound argument markers that a verb can take.
