Unresolved questions

  • Do lu constructs work as high adverbs or low adverbs when placed in t6 and t7?
  • In the sentence She dûa jí mâı súq jí cy cy, jêo róu da., does róu access the inner content clause or the outer one?
    • I suspect that it’s the outer rising-falling tone phrase that c-commands róu, and not the inner phrase, which makes the whole phrase tautological. I recommend hoı in such scenarios. uakcitalk
  • Can áq and chéq be used before the x1 slot, e.g. are sentences like Kuq còu áq nháo valid?
    • I am wont to say that Toaq anaphoras should only be allowed to go “back” – that is, that they must not be epiphoras. We could imagine kuq còu nháo áq as an interesting usage where it’s the còu phrase that takes subject/head position. uakcitalk
