I propose that associative plurals and plural pronouns share a common internal syntax; evidence comes from the existence of so-called &#8216;extended associatives&#8217;\u0097associative plurals modified by a comitative phrase, just like PPCs\u0097and the observation that these constructions systematically interact with PPCs. I suggest that the correct analysis for these constructions in Inuktitut seems to roughly correspond to the one proposed by Vassilieva & Larson (2005) for plural pronouns, which are taken to be built from a singular pronoun and an additional unsaturated element (thus, &#8220;we&#8221; = &#8220;I + other(s)&#8221;). However, along the way, I&#8217;ll also introduce various puzzles for this proposal.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Michelle Yuan (MIT) Title: Towards a unified analysis of associative plurals and plural pronouns in Inuktitut Date and time: Tuesday May 16, 1-2pm Location: 32-D461 Abstract: In this talk, I present work in progress on associative plurals and Plural Pronoun Constructions in Inuktitut.
