If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Theresa Biberauer.

In this talk, I present a minimal alteration to Noyer’s inventory of person features (keeping bivalent [±author] and [±participant] and making [hearer] privative) and show how this accounts for “Greenbergian” typological implications. Alternatives such as filters and geometries are shown to be conceptually and empirically problematic.

This talk is part of the Cambridge-QMUL Phi Workshop series.
