Conditions on pronominal marking: Video P14- bend plank

This video is part of a set of 42 video stimuli designed to study to study variation in the
patterns of pronominal marking in the non-Austronesian languages of Alor and Pantar.
All of these languages share the typologically rare trait that they mark objects or
undergoers on the verbs, rather than subjects or actors (Siewierska 2011). However,
there is considerable within-group variation as to how this is done and also what the
relevant semantic parameters are which govern the indexation patterns. For instance,
Teiwa (Klamer 2010) aligns its arguments on a nominative-accusative basis indexing
the object of many (but not all) transitive verbs. The prime factor which determines
whether a verb indexes its object is animacy (Klamer and Kratochvíl 2006, Klamer
2010). Abui (Kratochvíl 2007, 2011), on the other hand, has a semantic alignment
system, in which the undergoer is marked on the verb. In intransitive clauses, more
undergoer-like arguments are indexed, e.g., ‘He is ill’, whereas more actor-like ones
are not, e.g., ‘He runs’. Animacy plays a role in the choice of prefix for undergoers
in Abui, but is not as important and pervasive as in Teiwa.

The stimulus set was created for the project 'Alor-Pantar languages: Origins and
theoretical impact', funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)
through European Science Foundation-EuroBabel.

本视频隶属于一套共42个视频实验刺激材料，旨在研究阿洛与潘塔尔地区非南岛语系（non-Austronesian）语言中的代词标记模式变异。该类语言均具备类型学上罕见的特征：在动词上标记宾语或受事，而非主语或施事（Siewierska，2011）。但这类语言在标记实现方式以及支配索引模式的相关语义参数方面，组内存在显著差异。
例如，泰伊瓦语（Teiwa，Klamer，2010）采用主格-宾格对齐论元的方式，对多数（而非全部）及物动词的宾语进行索引。决定动词是否对宾语进行索引的核心因素为生命度（animacy）（Klamer与Kratochvíl，2006；Klamer，2010）。
另一方面，阿布伊语（Abui，Kratochvíl，2007，2011）采用语义对齐系统，在该系统中动词会标记受事。在不及物分句中，更接近受事的论元会被索引，例如“他生病了”；而更接近施事的论元则不会被索引，例如“他跑步”。阿布伊语中，生命度是受事前缀选择的影响因素之一，但重要性与普遍性均不及泰伊瓦语。
本实验刺激集由“阿洛-潘塔尔语言：起源与理论影响”项目研发，该项目获艺术与人文研究委员会（Arts and Humanities Research Council，AHRC）通过欧洲科学基金会-欧罗巴巴别塔计划（European Science Foundation-EuroBabel）资助。
