DESCRIPTION:Invisible inanimates and the syntax of pronominal prefixes in 
 Kanien’kéhaJessica Coon (McGill University)This talk examines puzzles
  in the realization and distribution of agreement markers or  “pronomin
 al prefixes” in Kanien’kéha (Northern Iroquoian)\, with an empirical 
 focus on (1) an alignment split in the stative aspect and (2) restrictions
  on the distribution of animate arguments.  In order to account for patte
 rns\, I propose—in line with recent work on Algonquian and Dene language
 s (Oxford 2019\; Lochbihler et al. 2021)—that inanimate nominals in Kani
 en’kéha lack person\, number\, and gender (“phi”) features altogeth
 er. I show that this proposal\, together with standard assumptions about a
 rgument structure and agreement\, allows for an account of the complex agr
 eement patterns. However\, if correct\, the absence of phi-features on ina
 nimates also requires a rejection of Baker’s (1996) Polysynthesis Parame
 ter\, a macroparameter according to which all arguments in polysynthetic l
 anguages must be morphologically referenced on the verb. The conclusion wi
 ll be that polysynthetic properties of Kanien’kéha do not require appea
 l to a  macroparameter\, but rather can be seen as the cumulative effect 
 of smaller independently-motivated differences.
