Alumna Publication: Nominal types on Gitksan split absolutive agreement

Clarissa Forbes (PhD 2018) has a paper in the most recent volume of Natural Langauge and Linguistic Theory! The paper is entitled  "Nominal types on Gitksan split absolutive agreement" and it studies a split absolutive-nominative agreement pattern found in Gitksan (Tsimshianic) that co-occurs with ergative agreement.

Is this ringing a bell for anyone? Forbes' PhD thesis offered a morphosyntactic analysis of the agreement patterns in the Tsimshanic language family, with a primary focus on Gitksan. 

We love seeing how projects that began at UofT expand! Be sure to check out both her thesis and her new publication!
