Introduction

Syncretism

• one form, multiple functions: you (sg. or pl.)

Introduction

Syncretism

• one form, multiple functions: you (sg. or pl.)

• [ADDRESSEE] vs. [ADDRESSEE + OTHERS]

Introduction

Syncretism

• one form, multiple functions: you (sg. or pl.)

• [ADDRESSEE] vs. [ADDRESSEE + OTHERS]

• underspecification (traditional): you = ADDRESSEE

Introduction

Syncretism

• one form, multiple functions: you (sg. or pl.)

• [ADDRESSEE] vs. [ADDRESSEE + OTHERS]

• underspecification (traditional): you = ADDRESSEE

• overspecification (Starke 2009): you = ADDRESSEE + OTHERS

Root suppletion in degree morphology

The comparative-superlative generalisation I: (Bobaljik 2012)

If the comparative degree of an adjective is suppletive, then the

superlative degree is also suppletive (i.e. with respect to the

positive).
