Txw as an out of control marker in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh
Academic Work
The clitic txw in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh has readings associated with out of control marking elsewhere in Salish. Previously, txw was described as a 'directional' morpheme. These out of control readings were not noted in this description. In this paper I describe the out of control readings that are obtained by the interaction txw with various verb classes in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh. I then place txw within the wider system of control marking found in the (in)transitivizing system of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and in Salish in general. I finish with a preliminary analysis of txw as a marker of different initial cause than the grammatical subject.
