Abstract

Conjunct markers, in at least some languages, are analyzed here as grammatically specialized for the semantic function of self-ascription: such markers indicate that a participant in the described event ascribed to herself the property described in the sentence. The hypothesis proposed here is that grammatically enabled self-ascription is fundamental to such systems, and that mirativity, as well as various other observed factors such as speaker ignorance, volitionality, and irony, are secondary effects that follow from this self-ascription analysis.
