Classification of Applicatives in Salishan Languages

Academic Work


This is an ongoing project of the comparative study on applicatives in Salishan languages. In this paper, I cite data from eighteen languages, organized from the viewpoint of verb type and the thematic role of the grammatical object. Based on this classification, I propose two basic types of applicatives, redirective and relational, and show their distribution in Salishan languages.
