  1. ; (, Proceedings of the 19th International Congress of Phonetic Sciences, Melbourne, Australia 2019)
    This paper investigates the homophony/polysemy between a morphological agentive marker and a contrastive focus marker in Sümi, a Tibeto-Burman language of Northeast India. Both are realized by a phrasal suffix -no that attaches to grammatical subjects, but the interpretation of the suffix varies by clause type. The present study examines whether transitive and intransitive subjects in contrastive focus receive any special prosodic marking that is recognizable to native listeners. The study has implications for understanding the development of agentive/focus marking in Sümi, as well as other languages of the Himalayas, and in New Guinea and Australia where similar homophony/polysemy between agentive and focus markers has been found.
