Multiple object constructions in P'orhépecha : argument realization and valence-affecting morphology /
In Multiple Object Constructions in P'orhepecha, Capistran offers a detailed description of double and triple object clauses in P'orhepecha, a Mesoamerican isolate with a case system lacking an accusative-dative distinction. Regarding argument realization, Capistran discusses alternating c...
