these cases, the argument should be annotated as the numbered argument as<br />

opposed to the reciprocal modifier.<br />

46. Mohan aur siitaa ne [ ARGM-REC ek saath] kaam kiyaa.<br />

Mohan and Siitaa erg together work did<br />

‘Mohan and siitaa worked together’<br />

47. mohan ne [ ARGM-REC apne aap] kaam kiyaa.<br />

Mohan erg by-himelf work did<br />

‘Mohan worked by himself’<br />

Note that the reciprocal is not an ARGM_REC in the following sentence, since they<br />

function as an argument.<br />

48. Mohan aur raam ne ek duusre ko dekhaa.<br />

Mohan and Raam erg one another Dat looked.<br />

‘Mohan and Ram looked at each other’<br />

4.9. ARGM_PRD: markers of secondary predication (PRD)<br />

These are used to show that an adjunct of a predicate is in itself capable of carrying<br />

some predicate structure. In <strong>Hindi</strong>, secondary predication does not appear to be as<br />

productive as it is in English. A typical example might include:<br />

49. bacce ne seb ko [ ARGM-PRD choTe-choTe TukRon mein] kaaTaa<br />

child erg apple dat small-small pieces in cut.<br />

‘The child cut the apple in little pieces’<br />

4.10. ARGM_PRP<br />

Purpose clauses are used to show the motivation for some action. Clauses beginning<br />

with "in order to" are canonical purpose clauses.<br />

50. maine [ ARGM-PRP dillii jaane ke liye] Tikata khariida.<br />

I-erg Delhi go-inf for ticket bought<br />

‘I bought tickets in order to go to Delhi.’<br />
