Overview

Investigates reflexive marking and agreement in Khalkha Mongolian, suggesting deeper binding relationships.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how cross-categorial reflexive marking functions in Khalkha Mongolian, especially its relationship with binding and agreement.
  • Investigated the use of reflexive possessive morphology in nominal and clausal contexts.
  • Analyzed agreement mechanisms associated with a null minimal pronoun.
  • Examined the limitations of overt agreement in Khalkha.
  • Reflexive possessive morphology is linked to binding principles and agreement mechanisms.
  • CCRM operates primarily within nominalized contexts, with no verbal agreement observed.
  • The analysis demonstrates that reflexive marking requires both binding from a specific syntactic head and overt agreement with a determiner.
