Re: in yehhuantin mexica (Andrews, p.420)

the appos analysis in the original is :+1:

[ftyers]

WDYT?

[Lguyogiro]

I think in this case we should have conj from tetzahuitl to quitetzammatia, since they both could be clausal subjects of motenehua. This is different from the case of parataxis:shared we have previously discussed, since here both clauses act as subject to the same verb (vs. to clauses that share an argument).

[Lguyogiro]

for posterity:

Is catca a copula? (see also https://github.com/ftyers/UD_Classical_Nahuatl-FloCo/issues/5)

Yes

What is the structure of in yehhuantin mexicah ?

• det(in, yehhuantin)
• appos(yehhuantin, mexica)

What is the structure of motenehua in tetzahuitl catca

in tetzahuitl catca is clausal subject of motenehua

We have three ins, what are their functions, what is their structure?:

• in tetzahuitl catca (subordinator, mark)
• in quitetzammatia (subordinator, mark)
• in yehhuantin mexicah (determiner, det)
