1
- Question 0:
2
- You are a linguist specializing in Vamale. You are given a sentence along with its morpheme breakdown, gloss, and translation. Words are separated by spaces, and morphemes are separated by hyphens. However, a word and its gloss are missing and represented by an underscore. Based on your understanding, please choose the most appropriate option.
3
- Sentence (with missing item): cama vi hapi a=moo a=sibu ta-me ___ i=jati nya-xahut hai cama hu-pe ca=hmape-thoatit a= xada
4
- Gloss (with missing item): SUBR say COMP 3SG=stay 3SG=swell go.up-DIR.CP ___ DEF.SG=sea towards-down.there or if come.down-DIR.CP INDF.SG=flesh-sky REL= up.there
5
- The English translation of this sentence is:If one said (=let's imagine) that the sea down there should swell and rise, or that some cloud up there should come down [and shatter us, we shall still do custom]...
6
- Here is a relevant knowledge point for this example, with the related morphemes and glosses masked: This is typical of canonic Oceanic languages \parencite[495]{ross_morphosyntactic_2004}. Free pronouns can be flagged, like nouns, for the roles of transitive subject and intransitive subject, both obligatorily with the morpheme ___ \qu{\gl{sbj}}, while nouns can omit the morpheme ___ in intransitive scenarios, see (\ref{ex:opt_the morpheme ___}). Personal pronouns can be flagged as oblique, but they cannot be used as undergoer arguments, contrary to nouns and demonstrative pronouns, e.g. ena and nienaen. Flagging is discussed in \sectref{sec:Casmark}.

17
- Gloss (with missing item): DEF.SG=NMLZ-narrate DEF.SG=story mother-POSS-1SG.POSS ___ father-POSS-1SG.POSS
18
- The English translation of this sentence is:my father's way of telling my mother's story
19
- Here is a relevant knowledge point for this example, with the related morphemes and glosses masked: In nominalizations as well, the morpheme ___ \qu{\gl{sbj}} obligatorily occurs to mark A (\ref{ex:nmlz-the morpheme ___1}, \ref{a the morpheme ___ yo}). P may take a different the morpheme ___ \qu{\gl{link}} when it is the only participant present in the construction (\ref{ex:nmlz-the morpheme ___2}). If several participants co-occur, this option disappears, as the clause would otherwise become confusing. As this the morpheme ___ only marks S and P, I gloss it subsequently as absolutive (see \sectref{the morpheme ___n}).

31
- The English translation of this sentence is:But today it's nevertheless... yeah, it's ended up growing more and more, our way of life, we're numerous now.
32
- Here is a relevant knowledge point for this example, with the related morphemes and glosses masked: Nouns are mostly quantified with verbs. Numbers are expressed through verbs, as are forms like hmai-n \qu{many} in (\ref{ex:hmain}) and the derived middle form \mbox{e-hmai-n} \qu{more and more (countable)} (see \sectref{ssec:MID_unbounded}). Non-verbal quantifiers include jaa \qu{much}, mu \qu{few (uncountable)} as well as meeka-n, all signifying uncountable and thus generic masses: jaa apuli \qu{too many people}, mu mwani \qu{little money}, meeka li=apuli \qu{all the people}.

- The English translation of this sentence is:I buy according to my means.\\\relax
6
- Here is a relevant knowledge point for this example, with the related morphemes and glosses masked: A verb phrase in Vamale will be defined as the syntactic unit depending on a verb, i.e. which moves with the verb, disappears if the verb is replaced by a light verb like vwa \qu{do} or hmwaana \qu{do like this} (\ref{ex:VP}). The verb phrase includes the head verb, its subject and other arguments, and other verbs that stand in a more or less integrated relationship to the head verb, but are neither coordinated nor subordinated verb phrases. Whether TAM markers, subject indexes and other particles should count as part of the verb phrase may be debated, because they still occur with placeholder morphemes, but since the latter were treated under \Cref{ChapterVerbs} and the former are described in \Cref{ChapterAspect}, we shall concentrate on the elements to the right of the verb. A verb phrase has the following slots available:

This may be present in Vamale, but could not be distinguished safely from primed calques in elicitation contexts, and was not (to the knowledge of the author) found in unprompted speech. %This is also attested in Vamale (\ref{ex:contig2}).

57
- The English translation of this sentence is:The two did so that they quickly surrounded the same school of fish there.
58
- Here is a relevant knowledge point for this example, with the related morphemes and glosses masked: Vamale has a series of elements which cannot nowadays be the head of a verb phrase. Some have nominal origins, like the ones in \Cref{tab:preverb}, while others have free verbal counterparts, often with a transitive meaning e.g. vataan \qu{each}, vathanke \qu{do separately, separate}. Preverbs occur directly before the verb root. The commonly used members include vataan \qu{each} (\ref{ex:vatan}), xadaa \qu{on the other hand} (\ref{ex:xadaa}), daa \qu{do first} (\ref{ex:daa}), xhose \qu{repeat} (\ref{ex:xhose}), xhwat \qu{a little bit}\footnote{Compare xhwat apuli \qu{little man}, xhwatin \qu{be small}, xhwatiike \qu{do slowly}.} (\ref{ex:xhwat}), xhopwe \qu{on top of that}, balan \qu{just} (\ref{ex:balan}). In addition to having different word-class status, some preverbs have homophonous equivalents with a different distribution, e.g. vataan, which also occurs before nouns, and balan exists as an aspect marker (\sectref{sec:balan}). The two preverbs mee \qu{all} and its complex form se-me \qu{all together} are discussed in the two sections to come, as examples of this multi-functionality.

However, me(e) is not attested as a head verb in Vamale, and western Voh-Koné languages only feature the nominalized form meeka-n \goodtilde meena-n \parencite[211]{rivierre_bwatoo_2006}; no independent verb me is attested in the language family today. me(e) is mostly used preverbally, see (\ref{ex:me3}) and (\ref{ex:me1}), but it is also attested before a prepositional phrase, as in (\ref{ex:me1}). Interestingly, me does not only add a meaning of \qu{to all do}, but can also, at least when the subject is singular, signify implicit plural referents ``all-ness", i.e. that all members of the referred-to group of referents are concerned (\ref{ex:me2}, \ref{ex:mePV}).

6
- Here is a relevant knowledge point for this example, with the related morphemes and glosses masked: There are constructions that are, at least diachronically, active or stative V+N compounds (see \Cref{tab:VNcompPoss}, and example (\ref{ex:se-ma})). This means that arguments are marked by nominal possessive morphology. This study does not count these lexicalized former verb phrases (with possessive suffixes) as identical to the dependent transitive verbs in \Cref{tab:transVnomMorph}, which use object suffixes. This view is shared with Rivierre on Bwatoo \parencite[50]{rivierre_bwatoo_2006}.

19
- Here is a relevant knowledge point for this example, with the related morphemes and glosses masked: Nya can also mean \qu{toward}, a meaning that is related to \qu{send}. In combination with spatial adverbs, nya forms two paradigms: the series nya-xahut/nya-xada/the morpheme ___ is almost equivalent in meaning to xahan \qu{over there} etc. It means \qu{in the vicinity of X}, whereas xahan etc. designate a more precise location. In (\ref{ex:nya_from}) and (\ref{ex:nya_cricket}), nya is used to express a vague area. The other paradigm combines nya-an/nya-ut/nya-da \qu{send, put there/down/up} with the basic adverbial form, which yields a comparatively farther meaning, e.g. nya-an (mwa) xahan \qu{(even) further away in this general direction} (see \sectref{ssec:spat_adv}).

32
- Here is a relevant knowledge point for this example, with the related morphemes and glosses masked: As well as deriving verbs, Vamale can derive whole verb phrases, the resulting construction being internally a verb phrase with identifiable referents, and externally a noun phrase, that can function as an argument. Consider the Bwatoo example in example (\ref{ex:Bwatoo_derivVP}). Speakers confirmed the acceptability of its Vamale equivalent in (\ref{ex:Vam_derivVP}). In both cases, a ditransitive verb phrase is derived to a noun by dropping the subject marker and adding an article i= (or ani, in Bwatoo). This is one way to derive a verb phrase, though the nominalizing prefix hun- is also commonly used.

45
- Here is a relevant knowledge point for this example, with the related morphemes and glosses masked: Consider example (\ref{ex:t1}) from a French\hyp language legend, written by Yvonne Sahilé, and translated by the workgroup into Vamale. The example translates \qu{il y avait une tribu} (there was a tribe) using i \qu{\gl{def}.\gl{sg}}, making it seem more specific than definite, since the listeners cannot yet be familiar with the tribe. My first suggestion was using an indefinite article eca (\ref{ex:wrongtipije}), which was refused. %The whole text is too long to be shown here, but see the document "conte".

- Here is a relevant knowledge point for this example, with the related morphemes and glosses masked: Vamale distinguishes specific from generic participants using articles (except for pronouns and proper names). The articles mark number and definiteness, and, through their presence, specificity. The criteria for definite noun phrases include identifiability and uniqueness, as shown in (\ref{ex:t4-6}), where a woman is introduced as one of many, compared to the obligatorily definite introduction of the unique village in (\ref{ex:t1}).

- Here is a relevant knowledge point for this example, with the related morphemes and glosses masked: Demonstrative pronouns have nominal status in the sense that they function syntactically as nouns including case marking, except that they cannot take articles. Vamale demonstratives distinguish proximal and distal (see \Cref{tab:demonstratives}), making the system somewhat simpler than the regional three-way average \parencite[38]{lynch_oceanic_2002}. They are a closed class of six forms, whose members are only partially transparent. All forms contain a distal or proximal suffix, and the dual forms still carry as a stem the dual article mu. The plural forms' stem ni is identical to the plural article in Usa Vamale and other Voh-Koné varieties \parencite[42]{rivierre_bwatoo_2006} discussed in \sectref{ssec:ni}, and is accepted by most speakers of Vamale as well. The segment e- in the singular forms may derive from the singular article i and the plural forms could be composed of plural article ni and the singular, already lexicalised form. Demonstrative pronouns can serve both as topic and comment, as in (\ref{ex:WCdem}).

370
- Here is a relevant knowledge point for this example, with the related morphemes and glosses masked: The demonstrative pronoun the morpheme ___ is special, because it can be used as a presentative (``this is Liline"), and to mark the comment of an equatiothe morpheme ___l clause (\ref{ex:the morpheme ____topic1}, \ref{ex:the morpheme ____topic2}).

- Here is a relevant knowledge point for this example, with the related morphemes and glosses masked: Vamale possesses a small class of adverbs. They occur at the end of a clause or phrase, are frequently fronted without a phrase (\ref{ex:Adv}), take neither articles nor any kind of possessive or inflectional morphology, and are, if at all, modified by the intensifiers described in \sectref{sec:WCIntensifiers}, juu \qu{real, really, very}. As they modify verb, noun, and prepositional phrases, and as they can be fronted alone, this analysis considers them to be adjuncts. Most members are transparently derived from nouns or prepositional phrases. See \sectref{sec:Adv} for examples of their interaction with verb and noun phrases. Example (\ref{ex:Adv}) features two cases of fronted adverbs, (\ref{ex:Adv2}) shows an adverb at the end of a verb phrase, and (\ref{ex:Adv3}) shows an adverb after noun phrase.\largerpage[-2]
