Workshop presentations
Berber languages are pronominal-argument languages, in the sense of Jelinek (1984): their verbs (and other non-verbal predicates) bear bound pronouns with argumental (as opposed to agreement) status. Noun phrases are not obligatory, and their ordering is not fixed. As argumental pronouns are obligatorily affixed or cliticized to verbs, Berber languages can also be characterized as head-marking, in the sense of Nichols (1986). On the other hand, some Berber languages (e.g. Kabyle (Northern Berber, Algeria)) have inflectional marking on nouns, called state (cf. Mettouchi & Frajzyngier 2013), while others (e.g. Siwi (Eastern Berber, Egypt)) don't. Kabyle should therefore be characterized as double-marking, whereas Siwi is simply head-marking.
The purpose of this presentation is to distinguish what is ascribable to head-marking, and what to double-marking, in two closely-related pronominal argument languages with very similar morphology and lexicon, thus contributing to the general question of the workshop, namely whether head-marking languages have any distinctive information structural properties that are a function of, or related to, their head- marking morphosyntax.

JALaLit welcomes original research articles, fieldwork material, and discussion notes. The journal is interested in scholarship that draws from a broad variety of theoretical approaches and methodologies.
African linguistics: data-driven research contributions related to any aspect of African languages. A special focus is given to description, documentation and analysis of undocumented and under-described languages.
African literatures: studies on modern and contemporary literatures in African languages (also in comparison to other literatures) with a special focus on texts (both in oral or written form).
