Languages Anaphoric markers Sentences

Instructions: You can combine criteria from as many sections as you wish, regardless of the search type you chose above. For example, you can choose to search for anaphoric markers, and specify that example sentences must contain the word wash; you will then see a list of anaphoric markers linked to such examples.

To select multiple elements in a list of search options, hold down the control key as you click.

Simple free-text searches require every search term to be present, as a whole or partial word. For more complex queries you can use AND, OR and negation (a minus sign), enclose "a string in quotes" to match it exactly, or search for the keyword NULL, which means the field must be empty.

Pronominal properties

Is the anaphoric marker a pronoun? A pronoun is a nominal consisting only of nominal features that does not require a sentence internal antecedent.
Is the pronoun strong, weak, or affixal (or clitic)?
Strength
Can the pronoun have any featurally compatible antecedent, or are there antecedents that are 'too local' to be coconstrued with the pronoun?
Antilocality
Does the pronoun indicate grammatical function in opposition to some other pronominal marker? Answer 'no' if the pronominal paradigm of this marker does not distinguish between subjects and non-subjects. If the language has a case-marking system, this answer is always yes, but this question is also designed to discover if there is a grammatical function distinction where it is not obvious there is any other reason to posit a casemarking system.
true/false
What exponent properties, like person, number, case, gender and/or animacy are morphologically distinguished within this paradigm?
Exponent expression
Does the use of this pronoun require an interpretation whereby the antecedent of the pronoun (sentence internal or, less often, present in discourse) is the one whose statement or perspective is being expressed?

Predicate Type Properties

Are there any morphological details that we should know about this verb?
What is the syntactic category of the predicate?
Are infinitive complements possible with this predicate?
Takes infinitive complement
Are indicative complements possible with this predicate?
Are subjunctive complements possible with this predicate?
Must the null subject of the clausal argument share the identity of a matrix predicate argument?
Does the predicate have any arguments in addition to the clausal argument?
What is the argument position of the clausal argument
Can the thematic argument of this predicate that is represented by a clausal complement also be represented by a semantically appropriate nominal?
Are complement clauses of this predicate required to have the C-type associated with that clause type overtly present?
Is there further information about this predicate that needs to be explored?

Predicate Properties - Meaning

What English verb translation meanings is this predicate used for?
Does this predicate morphology have another meaning with a different complementation?
Indicate the broadly descriptive semantic class of the predicate. Any particular predicate may fit more than one class, so enter the same verb under more than one class if it seems appropriate.
What are the properties of the argument of the predicate that is the mental source of the proposition argument or the actor that brings the proposition forth?
What Aktionsart class can this predicate be ascribed to?
What is the temporal ordering of the event described by this predicate with respect to the event, activity, or state of affairs described by the complement clause?
What does the clausal complement of this predicate report/denote?
If this predicate takes a clause that has the syntax of a question, is the semantic contribution of the complement taken to be a report of a question or a report that the answer to a question is (or can be) known?
Indicate whether the relation of the predicate to (the contents of) its clausal complement are affected by negation of the predicate.
Negation of the matrix predicate can be understood as negation of the complement proposition.
A negative polarity item in its complement clause can be licensed by negation in the predicate clause
Predicate negated leaves complemnet truth presupposition.
Is the reported speaker or experiencer committed to the truth of the complement clause proposition?
What is the commitment on the part of the speaker or the addressee as to the truth of the proposition described by the clausal complement?

C-Type Properties

What morphological type or syntactic category type does this C-type resemble?
Is there any morphological alternation in the shape of this C-type apart from agreement?
What is the semantic contribution of this C-type, if there is any such contribution
Does the C-type contribute evidential force or value?
What does the C-type agree with?
What sorts of features does the C-type show agreement for with its partner?
What clause types by crosslinguistic gross description is this C-type compatible with?
C-Type is compatible with Indicative clauses
C-Type is compatible with Infinitive clauses
C-Type is compatible with Subjunctive clauses
C-Type is compatible with clauses that are neither Indicative, Infinitive, nor Subjunctive clauses
Does this C-type always appear when a clause type compatible with it is used?
Is there further information about this C-type that needs to be explored?

Clause Type Properties

Is this clause type possible as a main clause and/or can it be embedded?
Are clauses of this type morphologically marked for tense?
Are clauses of this type morphologically marked for mood?
Are clauses of this type inherently marked for aspect?
Is there agreement in this clause type with a clause-internal partner?
Does this clause type enter into any external agreement relationships?
If there special morphology that distinguishes this clause type from other clause types, other than the presence of agreement, tense and aspect, please describe it here.
Does this clause type lack a verb as well as tense, person and agreement (i.e., is it a 'small clause')?
Is the subject of this clause type ever necessarily null and/or controlled?
Are clauses of this type inherently factive or assertive when they are embedded clauses?
Can this clause have embedded question syntax?
Is it necessary or optional for this clause to appear with a C-type?
Is extraction out of this clause type possible?
Extraction is possible
Extraction of near subject is possible
Extraction of non-subject arguments is possible
Extraction of all predicate arguments are possible
Extraction of adjuncts is possible
