Interpretive properties of perception verbs in Tiriki: Hyperraising and copy-raising

Abstract

Tiriki allows hyperraising constructions, similar to many other Bantu languages(Carstens & Diercks 2013, Halpert 2019). In this paper, we document a range ofnuanced interpretive properties that arise in parallel constructions in Tiriki hyperraising and copy-raising contexts. We show that there are connectivity effects inapparent copy-raising constructions, while those same constructions nonethelessbehave as if the matrix predicate assigns a thematic role to the matrix subject. Assignment of a matrix thematic role to a subject is traditionally thought to be incomplementary distribution with movement from the embedded clause. Instead,we suggest that all perception verbs assign thematic roles to their subjects, evenwhen those subjects move from an embedded position where they were alreadyassigned a first thematic role.
