Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas Thursday, 8 January Afternoon Markedness and Word Classes: Property Concepts in Mesoamerican Languages 55 Room: Independence West Organizers: David Beck (U AB) Paulette Levy (U Natl Autónoma-México) We hypothesize that it is useful to define nouns, verbs, and adjectives through the relative markedness of their distribution in certain diagnostic syntactic roles (syntactic argument, syntactic predicate, adnominal modifier, respectively). This is especially true in the case of words expressing property concepts which are notoriously variable in their lexical classification within and across languages. This workshop investigates the utility, limits, and pitfalls of our hypothesis using case studies of nine languages representing seven different Mesoamerican language families. The papers represent the collective work of SELIM (Seminario en Lenguas Indígenas de Mesoamerica), a group of Mexican linguists who started gathering in January 2003, both to share results of on-going research and to undertake joint projects on Mesoamerican languages by linguists working in the area. 2:00 David Beck (U AB): Markedness & the lexical classification of property concepts 2:20 Verónica Vázquez Soto (U Natl Autónoma-México): Property concepts in Cora (Uto-Aztecan) 2:40 Enrique L.
