Revisiting "verbal agreement": The case of Israeli Hebrew
What it is about
The standard description of Israeli Hebrew (IH) says that the person affixes on suffix-conjugated (past) and prefix-conjugated (future) verbs are agreement markers, and that third-person verbs are not marked for person, so a third-person subject pronoun is needed. Shor questions both claims. Working within a usage-based, synchronic paradigm view, he argues that the affixes are better treated as referential elements, "bound pronouns", uniformly marked for person in all persons. He also argues that "verbal agreement" as a term depends on a bipartite clause model (a lexical subject NP and a predicate that are morphologically independent), which comes from the first Greek grammarians and is not supported by cross-linguistic data. The paper is a conceptual and descriptive argument; it reports no counts.
Ideas
- I1. In the Hebrew verb analysis, record person on third-person suffix and prefix forms as a pronominal feature of the verb (for example
Person=3with a bound-pronoun flag), and keep agreement as a separate relation. Check which way the UD annotation ofhealready goes before changing it. - I2. A test on the treebanks: count clauses with a third-person verb and no overt subject, and check whether the parser or
worldcan recover the referent from the verb's person-number-gender alone. If it cannot, the affix carries information the trees do not use. - I3. Use the paper's paradigm table (its Table 1: suffix and prefix conjugation for each person) as a gold list of forms for
tools/hbo-style morphology checks on Modern Hebrew verbs.
For Mova
I1 goes into 05. The verb: system, binyanim, tense and use and 05b. Verb paradigms: the strong verb in seven binyanim and the weak roots. I2 is a measurement on treebanks/he (htb, iahltwiki) for the pro-drop rule in 7. Syntax. I3 is a test set for the verb paradigms in 05b. Verb paradigms: the strong verb in seven binyanim and the weak roots.
