A functional approach to the quotative verb HAN in Siwkolan Amis and its
implications for the evidential system in some Formosan languages

Abstract
In this talk I investigate morphosyntactic properties of HAN in Siwkolan Amis,
which has been claimed to be a quotative verb in the literature, and defend a
lexical split of HAN (Robert and Roussou 2003), one being a lexical category
with full-fledged argument structure and the other a functional category
merging to Voice0. In particular, I argue that the functional HAN cannot be
analyzed as a quotative verb or a PV-inflected verb proposed in the literature
, given my novel findings that HAN (i) is permitted to occur in patient voice,
instrumental voice and locative voice constructions, (ii) represses the
presence of voice affixes, (iii) must stand immediately adjacent to the
lexical verb and (iv) encodes the non-inferential evidentiality. I follow
Cinque’s (2004) functional approach to restructuring predicates in treating
HAN as a functional category of Voice0 and Shih and Lin’s (2011) voice Agree
system in which voice morphology is a reflex of thematic relations. In these
lights, when the NP with the PATIENT, the INSTRUMENTAL or the LOCATIVE role
raises to [Spec, vP], it serves as a Goal with the [iθ] feature targeted by
an active Probe on Voice0 to value the [uθ] on Voice0 as its corresponding
voice value. This analysis, in addition to providing a more principled account
of the noted properties, fares well with Wu’s (2006) system of undergoer
voices in Amis, which subsumes patient, instrumental and locative voice.
Moreover, as the lexical verb moves to VoiceUV0, the [iθ] feature is spelt
out as HAN surfacing as an affix attached to the verb. Several issues involved
in dealing with the Amis voice system and implications for the evidential
system in some Formosan languages are discussed.
Keywords quotative verbs, Amis, evidentiality, undergoer, clitic climbing
