| الملخص: | Kurtöp, an East Bodish language of Bhutan, uses case markers for a variety of
functions. Like many Tibeto-Burman languages, Kurtöp evidences an ergative whose
functions extend above and beyond the typical role of distinguishing the A argument in a
bivalent clause. The Kurtöp ergative signals the A argument in some bivalent clauses and
denotes a variety of pragmatic and semantic functions in both monovalent and bivalent
clauses. In bivalent clauses, a set of verbs also exhibit differential object marking,
employing a locative case-marker to designate various types of pragmatic focus. |
