Phrase structure and grammatical relations in Tagalog.
Kroeger, Paul Richard.

Phrase structure and grammatical relations in Tagalog. - 302 p.

Adviser: Joan Bresnan.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 1991.

This dissertation presents an analysis of Tagalog within the framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar. Tagalog is a non-configurational language in which the grammatical subject does not occupy a unique structural position. Nevertheless, the grammar of Tagalog makes crucial reference to the notion of grammatical subjecthood. This fact shows that grammatical subjecthood cannot be defined in terms of a specified position in surface phrase structure. More generally, the Tagalog data shows that grammatical relations must be defined independently of phrase structure, semantic structure, and pragmatic or discourse function, strongly supporting a conception of linguistic structure in which these various kinds of information are modelled as independent subsystems of the grammar.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation presents an analysis of Tagalog within the framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar. Tagalog is a non-configurational language in which the grammatical subject does not occupy a unique structural position. Nevertheless, the grammar of Tagalog makes crucial reference to the notion of grammatical subjecthood. This fact shows that grammatical subjecthood cannot be defined in terms of a specified position in surface phrase structure. More generally, the Tagalog data shows that grammatical relations must be defined independently of phrase structure, semantic structure, and pragmatic or discourse function, strongly supporting a conception of linguistic structure in which these various kinds of information are modelled as independent subsystems of the grammar.
520 $a A large number of syntactic tests are presented which uniquely identify the nominative argument as the grammatical subject. It is argued that the apparent ambiguity of subjecthood properties in Tagalog is due to the Actor's semantic and pragmatic prominence, together with the fact that non-subject Actors are always terms (non-oblique arguments) in Tagalog, unlike passive agents in English. Evidence is presented which shows that the nominative argument does not have the properties of a "topic", as it is frequently analyzed, whether this concept is defined in terms of discourse continuity or pragmatic function.
520 $a Crucial evidence for the non-configurationality of Tagalog comes from rules governing the coreference of personal pronouns and the position of clitic elements. An analysis of Tagalog phrase structure is developed using a modified version of the X-bar theory of Chomsky (1986). The analysis is shown to provide an account for the structural properties of Clause Reduction, a construction similar in many ways to "restructuring" in Romance languages, in which two verbs appear in a single monoclausal structure. Finally, it is argued that long-distance dependencies ("Wh-movement") in Tagalog are best described in terms of grammatical relations, rather than phrase structure configuration.
