Switch Reference and Universal Grammar
Proceedings of a symposium on switch reference and universal grammar, Winnipeg, May 1981
Editors
Canonical switch-reference is an inflectional category of the verb, which indicates whether or not its subject is identical with the subject of some other verb. Switch-reference may be analyzed from a structural or a functional point of view. Functionally, switch-reference is a device for referential tracking. Formally, switch-reference is almost always a verbal category, similar to the familiar category of verbal concord. In most languages switch-reference marking is indicated by a verbal affix, however in some languages it may be marked by an independent morpheme. The contributions to this volume are concerned with questions of form, function, and genesis of canonical switch-reference systems.

2005. Configurationality in the Languages of New Guinea* * I wish to acknowledge the contributions of many conversations with Bill Foley and Jane Simpson about matters discussed in the following article, made possible by the research environment provided by the University of Sydney. Further, two patient AJL reviewers have improved the clarity of this article immensely, a host of patient grammar-writers have both unknowingly and knowingly supplied data, and several classes of sometimes patient students in several continents who have seen these ideas tried out and refined, and our Lani friends in Australia and Papua, especially Indep Wanimbo deserve thanks for their patience. The usual disclaimers apply..
