Small Clauses and Secondary Predication in Kin Small Clauses and Secondary Predication in Kinande

This paper examines secondary predication in Kinande. Specifically, the investigation centers on argument small clauses, and depictive and resultative constructions. Overt functional morphemes that we identify as mediators of subject/predicate relationships (‘relators’ in the terminology of den Dikken 2006) head various types of secondary predication constructions in the language. The two relators we identify are invariant (non-agreeing) forms that are prepositional in nature. Thus, they correlate well with the type of relators that are found in secondary predications cross-linguistically. We observe that Kinande has a very limited class of adjectives and note how this affects the types of predicates one finds in secondary predications in Kinande. In depictive predications, an asymmetry between internal and external arguments is identified: depictive predication, contra the predictions of Pylkkänen 2008, is not possible with external arguments (subject of clauses or benefactive arguments) in Kinande using the same syntactic device that is available for depictive predication of objects in the language.

Les propositions réduites et la prédication secondaire en kinande

Cet article traite de la prédication secondaire en kinande. De manière plus spécifique,  l’étude met en exergue les propositions réduites sous la forme d’arguments, et les constructions dépictives et résultatives. Les morphèmes fonctionnels ouverts que nous identifions comme médiateurs des relations sujet/prédicat (‘relateurs’dans la terminologie de den Dikken 2006) sont à la tête de différents types de constructions de prédication secondaire dans la langue. Les deux relateurs que nous identifions sont des formes invariables (ils ne s’accordent pas) de nature prépositionnelle. C’est ainsi qu’ils correspondent bien au type de relateurs que l’on trouve dans les prédications secondaires à travers les langues. Nous notons que le kinande a une classe très limitée d’adjectifs et ceci affecte les types de prédicat que l’on trouve dans les prédications secondaires dans cette langue. Dans les prédications prédictives, on identifie une asymétrie entre les arguments internes et externes : la prédication dépictive, nonobstant les prédictions de Pylkkänen 2008, n’est pas possible avec les arguments externes (sujet des propositions ou des arguments bénéfactifs) en kinande qui utilisent le même procédé syntaxique que l’on retrouve pour la prédication dépictive des langues à objet.
