Abstract Details

2015, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Linguistics.
This thesis discusses the distribution and interpretation of the Tagalog reportative evidential daw, at the root level, when daw is embedded under an operator, and when an operator is embedded under daw. The operators discussed include the antecedent of a conditional, the modal baka 'maybe', the attitude predicate akala 'falsely believe', questions, and negation. I present original fieldwork data that show that daw can embed these operators, and take wide scope over them. Daw can also be embedded under these operators, and three readings are possible: daw can take wide scope over the operator, daw can take narrow scope with respect to the operator, or daw can be syntactically embedded, but its evidential content can project. This evidence of projection of an evidential content thus expands our knowledge of both the range of projective contents and also what properties evidentials can possess. I give an analysis daw in a dynamic multistratal framework, building on the prior work of Martin and Pollard (2012), and Kierstead and Martin (2012).
