SUMMARY:How many of ʔu? A featural decomposition of A'ingae augmentatives
DESCRIPTION:In A’ingae (iso 639-3: con)\, the augmentative evaluative -ʔu AUG and the augmentative adjectivizer -ʔu AA are segmentally identical and have the same -ʔ allomorph when followed by a vowel. However\, they trigger different stress assignment—the evaluative -ʔu AUG stresses the second syllable to its left\, while the adjectivizer -ʔu AA preserves underlying stress (if present)\, and stresses the preceding syllable otherwise.To account for both their similarities and differences\, I propose that the two morphemes realize complex feature bundles. The evaluative -ʔu AUG expones [AUG\, EVAL]\, and the adjectivizer -ʔu AA expones [AUG\, a]. The shared feature [AUG] captures the fact that both uses have the same segmental allomorphy. The differentiating features ([EVAL] and [a]) are independently shown to trigger distinct stress patterns.The A’ingae data demonstrate that morphological exponence may involve not only segmental content\, but also phonological processes (Sande\, 2020; Sande\, Jenks\, and Inkelas\, 2020; Dąbkowski\, 2024b\, 2025)\, and that the realization of any single morpheme may stem from a non-trivial interplay of elements introduced by different features.

SUMMARY:Beyond internal constructional properties: Rethinking constructionhood
DESCRIPTION:The study analyzes the syntax of if you ask me (e.g.\, she’s not ready for that kind of responsibility if you ask me) in a sample of 789 constructions from The Corpus of Contemporary American English. Special attention is paid to how the order of the protasis interacts with other domains in language use: speaker\, function\, lexicon\, and type of communication mode. Using a predictive-modeling approach\, we demonstrate that when the next turn’s speaker is different from the current speaker\, it is very likely that if you ask me will appear in preposed position in spoken and written discourse. On the other hand\, when the speaker is the same\, it is very likely that if you ask me will appear in postposed position. However\, there is a significant difference between speaking and writing such that postposed position in spoken discourse is likely\, but postposed position in written discourse is more likely. We also discuss prototypes of each position of if you ask me for which there seems to be an intriguing interaction between speaker\, lexicon\, and type of communication mode. We argue that these findings provide important implications for previous research on turn-taking and the semantic coherence principle.
