No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index."Dedicated to John B. Whitman, this collection of seventeen articles provides a forum for cutting-edge theoretical research on a wide range of linguistic phenomena in a wide variety of Asian languages, including Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Austronesian, Indo-Aryan, and Thai. Ranging from syntax and morphology to semantics, acquisition, processing and phonology, from synchronic and/or diachronic perspectives, this collection reflects the breadth of the honoree's research interests, which span multiple research subfields in numerous Asian languages"--On complement selection in Spanish and Japanese / Tomoyuki Yoshida -- The syntactic status of by-phrases in Korean and Japanese / Sang Doh Park -- Displaced modification: picture noun constructions in Marathi and Japanese / Hideki Kishimoto, Peter Hook and Prashant Pardeshi -- Some asymmetries of long distance scope assignment in Sinhala / Hideki Kishimoto -- Autosegmental evaluative morphology in Japanese: augmentative and diminutive mimetics / Takashi Toyoshima -- On the distribution of the discourse particles -yo in Korean and -ne in Japanese / Changguk Yim and Yoshihito Dobashi -- Wh-indefinites in East Asian languages / Jiwon Yun -- Resultative and termination: a unified analysis of Middle Chinese VP-Yi / Edith Aldridge and Barbara Meisterernst -- Differential argument marking and object movement in old Japanese: a typological perspective / Yuko Yanagida -- Possessive nominal phrases in Lamaholot / Kunio Nishiyama -- Experimental study of the children's comprehension of lexical and productive causatives in Japanese / Kyoko Yamakoshi, Kaori Miura, Hanako Jorinbo, Kayoko Angata and Kaori Yamasaki -- Parsing Chinese relative clauses with structural and non-structural cues / Zhong Chen and John Hale -- The inexorable spread of in romanized Japanese / Timothy J.

Antipassive and specificity in Tagalog
No full textIt is common knowledge in the field of Philippine linguistics that an ang-marked direct object in a non-actor focus clause must be definite or generic, while a ng-marked object in an actor focus clause typically receives a nonspecific interpretation. However, in contexts like wh-questions, the oblique object in an antipassive may be interpreted as specific, as noted by Schachter & Otanes (1972), Maclachlan & Nakamura (1997), Rackowski (2002), and others. […] In this paper, I propose to account for the specificity effects […] within the analysis of Tagalog syntax put forth by Aldridge (2004). I analyze Tagalog as an ergative language […]. Cross linguistically, antipassive oblique objects receive a nonspecific interpretation, while absolutives are definite or generic. I show in this paper how the Tagalog facts can be subsumed under a general account of ergativity
Dangerous Domesticity: Gossip and Gothic Homes in Edith Wharton's Fiction
No full textIn the United States of the late nineteenth century, the home was increasingly discussed in terms of privacy and the domestic was viewed as a protected “feminine sphere.” Focusing on the work of an author almost synonymous with the literary depiction of homes, Edith Wharton, this article questions domestic myths of the US home. As a vehicle for its critique, it relies on a mode of communication that is firmly located in the domestic sphere and yet destabilizes its premises of privacy and sanctity: gossip. By analyzing the depiction of homes and the reliance on “idle talk” as both content and narrative technique in “The Lady's Maid's Bell,” The House of Mirth, The Custom of the Country, and Summer, the article shows how Wharton exposes the feminine sphere as a dangerous place. To this end, she combines elements of Gothic fiction that subvert the domestic ideal with depictions of homes that are porous to gossip, which both uncovers abuses and invites them. Concentrating her attention on female protagonists (rather than enfranchised white men), Wharton paints a drastically different picture of the home and the possibility of shielding the private from economic or public concerns than evoked in contemporary legal and journalistic discourses.https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5325/editwharrevi.35.1.0022?seq=1Copyright © 2019 by The Pennsylvania State University.
