The PM com 'a little' is used to show the speaker's politeness to the hearer by implicating that he is minimizing the threat to her face, or to insult her by belittling her ability. The speaker uses the PM tul (plural marker) to indicate that an event he is describing occurred more than once, or that each referent of a subject of his utterance is involved in an event. The PMs puthe 'from' and kkaci 'to' are used to show that the speaker never expected an event/situation he is describing to occur.","Second, the morpho-syntactic behavior of PMs are analyzed within the GKPS (1985) version of GPSG. A new type of 'Near-HEAD' features is proposed for PMs, following the GPSG multi-headed approach to coordination. Near-head features are instantiated along head nodes like standard HEAD features in GKPS (1985), but they must observe an additional restriction that a node with them comes last in a local tree. The near-HEAD feature analysis predicts correctly that PMs are located on the lexical head of a phrase and that they appear on the final conjunct in coordination. However, I suggest that PMs can be treated through HEAD features, if we give up the GPSG claim that coordination is multi-headed.","Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T14:24:07Z (GMT).
