[ii]. The second function of di is to contrast a
subject from other subjects or two subjects from each other.
In (270), di contrasts the subject gopnvan 'he/she-' who
does not eat chicken with other persons, already mentioned
or understood from the context, who do eat chicken. In
(271), the two subjects being contrasted are present and
preceded by di.
270. Di gopnyan h'an ek-geuh sie manok.
SFC he. NEG want-3r meat chicken
He does not eat chicken.
271. Di apa geu-peusieng sie, di lon lon-cang gule.
SFC uncle 3r-cut meat SFC I 1-cut vegetable
' Uncle will cut the meat and I will cut
vegetable.'
[iii]. The third function of di is purely syntactic. It
is used to overrule constraints [ii] and [iii] of the
Pronouns Ordering Constraints (POC) set forth in 2.1.1.3.
(272a) is ungrammatical because it violates constraint [ii]
of the POC; two identical pronouns cannot be placed next to
each other. However, when di is used, the constraint is
overruled. Thus, (272b) is grammatical.
