Constraints on Morphological Borrowing: Evidence from Latin America Ewald Hekking – Querétaro Dik Bakker – Lancaster 1Borrowing Morphology II

2 1. Are there any constraints on morphological borrowing? 2. Is it possible to copy processes of grammaticalization? 3. Is agglutinative morphology more copiable than fusional morphology? 4. Is derivational morphology more copiable than inflectional morphology? 5. Is nominal morphology more copiable than verbal morphology? 6. Is there an inequality for different parts of speech when it comes to morphological borrowing? 7. Is there an inequality for different verbal categories when it comes to morphological borrowing? 8. Are there universal tendencies that allow predictions about the stability of structural features in morpho-syntax? 9. Is shared paradigmatic morphology a conditio-sine-qua-non for genealogical relationship? 10. Is it possible to establish linguistic relationship on the basis of shared morphology alone? 11. Should phonological comparison always precede morphological evidence in matters of genealogical relationship? 12. Is it possible to find tendencies or to set up criteria to distinguish between cognates and copies in bound morphology?

7. Conclusion 102 Borrowing Morphology II
103
103 Spanish morphology on native stems - - - There is no evidence for any Spanish morphology employed productively on native stems in Quechua, Guarani or Otomi.
104
Borrowing Morphology II 104 Spanish morphology on loans: Noun - - - Spanish nouns may be borrowed with inflectional plural /-s/. In Quechua, this seems to replace the native plural /–kuna/ in those constructions. In Guarani and Otomi it seems to be lexical.
105
Borrowing Morphology II 105 Spanish morphology on loans: Noun - - - Spanish nouns may be borrowed with inflectional plural /-s/. In Quechua, this seems to replace the native plural /–kuna/ in those constructions. In Guarani and Otomi it seems to be lexical. - Spanish nouns may be borrowed with derivational suffixes (+Ag, +Dim), mainly in Quechua, and less so Guarani, but these are arguably lexical.
106
Borrowing Morphology II 106 Spanish morphology on loans: Verb - - - All three languages borrow Spanish verbs with the morphologically relevant stem vowel (-a/-e/-i).
107
Borrowing Morphology II 107 Spanish morphology on loans: Verb - - - All three languages borrow Spanish verbs with the morphologically relevant stem vowel (-a/-e/-i). - This is consistently so for Quechua and Guarani, but less so for Otomi (diphtong / e-i).
108
Borrowing Morphology II 108 Spanish morphology on loans: Verb - - - All three languages borrow Spanish verbs with the morphologically relevant stem vowel (-a/-e/-i). - This is consistently so for Quechua and Guarani, but less so for Otomi (diphtong). - No verbal morphology seems to be in transfer.
109
Borrowing Morphology II 109 Spanish morphology on loans: Adj - - - Spanish adjectives regularly have the feminine suffix /-a/ in Quechua and Guarani. Some are nominalizations, more often they modify a Spanish [+F] noun, or a native noun representing a female referent. May be productive in Quechua and Guarani.
110
Borrowing Morphology II 110 Spanish morphology on loans: Adj - - - Spanish adjectives regularly have the feminine suffix /-a/ in Quechua and Guarani. Some are nominalizations, more often they modify a Spanish [+F] noun, or a native noun representing a female referent. May be productive in Quechua and Guarani. - Adverb derivation with –mente is rather regular in Quechua, and to some extent also in Guarani.
111
Borrowing Morphology II 111 Native morphology on loans - - - In Quechua, borrowed Spanish N, V and A are fully morphologically integrated: they get all relevant suffixes in the context.
112
Borrowing Morphology II 112 Native morphology on loans - - - In Quechua, borrowed Spanish N, V and A are fully morphologically integrated: they get all relevant suffixes in the context. - In Guarani, borrowed N, V and A get all native prefixes and suffixes. For V they are fused, for N and A less so.
113
Borrowing Morphology II 113 Native morphology on loans - - - In Quechua, borrowed Spanish N, V and A are fully morphologically integrated: they get all relevant suffixes in the context. - In Guarani, borrowed N, V and A get all native prefixes and suffixes. For V they are fused, for N and A less so. - In Otomi, there are several morphophonological constraints on the full integration of borrowed lexemes.
