Most typically, a marker that is egophoric is found with first person subjects in declarative sentences and with second person subjects in interrogative sentences. This person sensitivity reflects the fact that speakers generally know most about their own affairs, while in questions this epistemic authority typically shifts to the addressee. First described for Tibeto-Burman languages, egophoric-like patterns have now been documented in a number of other regions around the world, including languages of Western China, the Andean region of South America, the Caucasus, Papua New Guinea, and elsewhere. This book is a first attempt to place detailed descriptions of this understudied grammatical category side by side and to add to the cross-linguistic picture of how ideas of self and other are encoded and projected in language. The diverse but conceptually related egophoric phenomena described in its chapters provide fascinating case studies for how structural patterns in morphosyntax are forged under intersubjective, interactional pressures as we link elements of our speech to our speech situation. 118 4 25 2018 4 16 2018 9789027206992 9789027265548 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/tsl.118 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027265548 https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/tsl.118/html https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027265548.pdf Lila San Roque Radboud University/Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics Simeon Floyd Universidad San Francisco de Quito/Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9739-2914 Elisabeth Norcliffe Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics An introduction 4 25 2018 4 16 2018 1 78 10.1075/tsl.118.01san https://benjamins.com/catalog/tsl.118.01san https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/tsl.118.01san/html Structural Form and Utterance Context in Lhasa Tibetan Agha 1993 Evidentiality Aikhenvald 2004 10.1093/oso/9780199263882.001.0001 10.1016/j.langsci.2007.07.009 Imperatives and Commands Aikhenvald 2010 The Syntax of Imperatives Alcázar 2014 10.1017/CBO9780511794391 The World Atlas of Language Structures Online Baerman 2013 Syncretism in verbal person/number marking 10.1086/465835 A Grammar of Dongwang Tibetan Bartee 2007 Proceedings of the LFG13 Conference Belyaev 2013 Optimal agreement at m-structure: Person in Dargwa International Journal of Dravidian Linguistics Bendix 3 1 42 1974 Indo-Aryan and Tibeto-Burman contact as seen through Nepali and Newari verb tenses Responsibility and Evidence in Oral Discourse Bendix 226 1992 The grammaticalization of responsibility and evidence: Interactional manipulation of evidential categories in Newari Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Bickel 23 1 2000 10.32655/LTBA.23.2.01 Introduction: Person and evidence in Himalayan languages Die Kategorie der Person in den Sprachen der Welt Bickel 2001 10.1075/sl.24.3.05bic Chomolangma, Demawend und Kasbek: Festschrift für Roland Bielmeier zu seinem 65.
