Tracking and recognitional use of Kalamang "opa" : Demonstrative of cognitive accessibility
(2020) p.103-103- Abstract
- The Papuan language Kalamang has an adnominal demonstrativeopa, which marksreferents that are cognitively accessible either because they are common ground orbecause they are previously mentioned in the discourse. It is mainly an endophoricdemonstrative which has tracking and recognitional uses, but it can be used ex-ophorically as well. It can be used for both maintaining and reintroducing refer-ents. The demonstrativeopais co-lexified with a time adverbopa‘just now; ear-lier’. A grammaticalisation path cannot be established, but similar co-lexificationsare found in Bunaq (Timor-Alor-Pantar) and Indonesian (Austronesian)
