Coordination, coherence and A’ingae clause linkage
- Abstract:
- This paper examines a particular type of clause linkage (‘bridging’) in A’ingae, an en- dangered isolate spoken in Amazonian Ecuador and Colombia.We propose a formal characterization of its meaning (to our knowledge the first formal account for any language) that relies crucially on two SDRT coherence relations: NARRATION and BACKGROUND. We motivate this characterization with textual data and elicited data from context-relative felicity judgments, and propose to derive it from independently observable facts about prosody, coordination, and anaphora in the language.
