Transitivity suffixes in the Yaqui language: A study of the morphology-syntax interface
This article presents a typological/descriptive approach to the phenomenon of syntactic valency alternations, in order to explore the relationship between morphology and syntax observed in agglutinating languages such as Yaqui (Uto-Aztecan).

| Sumario: | This article presents a typological/descriptive approach to the phenomenon of syntactic valency alternations, in order to explore the relationship between morphology and syntax observed in agglutinating languages such as Yaqui (Uto-Aztecan). In particular, this article deals with cases in which valency changes are simultaneously exhibited in the syntax (i.e., by means of alternations in the number of verb arguments), and in morphology (i.e., marked by changes in verbal suffixes). This article studies valency increasing operations, such as the causative alternation, as well as valency reduction operations, such as noun incorporation, and concludes that verbal morphology is a good diagnostic to identify the valency of Yaqui verbs.
