Double inflection and lack of agreement: Two case studies from Sicilian

Prof. Silvio Cruschina (University of Helsinki)

Prof. Silvio Cruschina (University of Helsinki) addresses the topic of redundancy and defectiveness of agreement marking presenting the case of a doubly inflected periphrastic construction (e.g. vaju a mangiu ‘I go and eat/I’m going to eat’), and discussing the lack of agreement of the negative indefinite pronoun nuddu ‘nobody’, which semantically refers to the subject of the sentence but is morphologically invariant.
