Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the literature on Kwak'wala, a Northern Wakashan language of British Columbia, the term "agreement" refers to a particular phenomenon in which a determiner-like enclitic agreeing with the subject can occur in clause-second position when the subject itself does not. Using subject topicalizations, conjoined predicates, and other structures, I will argue that this phenomenon is not "agreement" as ordinarily understood. Instead, I will propose an account of Kwak'wala agreement in which this enclitic is a partial copy of the subject; that is, that it is movement of the D head of the DP subject under a copy theory of movement.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
