"text": "K'iche' is a language with ergative-absolutive alignment, basic verb-initial order of constituents, and prefixes for agreement. The language is both prefixing (for inflection) and suffixing (for derivation and some inflection). Neither subject nor object need be overtly expressed when recoverable from context. An important part of the K'iche' grammatical system are the sets of agreement markers. These are traditionally split into set A and set B. Set A, or the ergative (ERG) markers, are used on nouns to crossreference, that is, agree with, their possessors and on verbs to indicate a transitive subject. Set B markers, or the absolutive (ABS) markers, are used to crossreference the transitive object or intransitive subject. Table 1 shows the markers. K'iche' verbal morpho-syntax, like other Mayan languages, is organised around transitivity. Root verbs, i.e., verbs of the form CVC, and their derived non-CVC counterparts are classified as either transitive or intransitive, and this classification has implications for the kinds of morphology the verb can take. It controls the distribution of Set A and Set B morphology that we have already seen, but it also constrains what kinds of nominalisations a verb stem allows (Can Pixabaj, 2009) , a well as which 'Status Suffixes' a verb stem takes (see section 6.9",

Instead, bona fide prepositions take nouns as complements, including this special subclass of relational nouns which must bear agreement. Another argument for keeping prepositions and relational nouns separate concerns their behaviour under questioning. Relational nouns can undergo pied-piping with inversion-i.e., the question ruk' jachin 'with whom' can also be jachin ruk' lit. whom with. This inversion is impossible with simple prepositions, which is unexpected if they were structurally equivalent.

The particular status suffix a verb bears is conditioned by an amalgamation of morphosyntactic facts about the clause, including the transitivity of the verb, whether the verb is a root verb (i.e., CVC form) or has undergone derivation, the tenseaspect-mood of the clause, and whether the clause is an independent or dependent clause. In K'iche' there are four status suffixes, -ik, -oq, -u \u223c -o (with vowel harmony) and -u' \u223c -a' \u223c -o' (with vowel harmony). 7",

Version 1.2 (Straka et al., 2016) of UDPipe is a pipeline-based model where tokenisation is performed by a BiLSTM, morphological analysis and part-of-speech tagging are performed using an averaged perceptron model and dependency parsing uses a transition-based non-projective parser, where transitions are predicted by a neural network. Version 2.0 (Straka, 2018) is a complete rewrite of the UDPipe parser. It implements a joint model for part-of-speech tagging, morphological analysis, lemmatisation and parsing. The parsing model is graph-based using the Chu-Liu/Edmonds algorithm for decoding. Finally, UDify (Kondratyuk and Straka, 2019 ) is a multilingual model that supports parsing 75 languages. This is also a joint model, with a shared BERT representation for all 75 languages. The pre-trained model can be fine-tuned on language data from a new language, and we provide the results for fine-tuning on K'iche'. All parsers were trained with default hyperparameters.",

"text": "Using corpora of under-resourced languages to test predictions pertinent to linguistic theory is often difficult. The reason is that the predictions are usually highly structurally dependent, making it hard, or even impossible, to search for relevant examples via string matching. We show the utility of the present treebank through a case study probing the distribution of phrase-final status suffixes (see section 6.9). Henderson (2012) proposes that the status suffixes that only appear phrase-finally are sensitive to intonational phrase boundaries, which roughly map onto clause boundaries. The generalisation is that a phrase final status suffix should only appear if the verb / directional bearing it is (i) utterance final, (ii) directly before an embedded clause, (iii) directly before a functional head that itself embeds a clause. Notice that to find counterexamples to this generalisation, one must search for sentences that do not satisfy a structural description-e.g., give me sentences containing a status suffix that is not directly followed by an embedded clause. This is impossible to do without a treebank. It is not even possible to do via string matching over a corpus with grammatical annotations like part-of-speech tags. We used the corpus to test the generalization in Henderson (2012) against a larger set of K'iche' texts. In order to produce a larger corpus of examples, we took all of the texts we had available from the sources mentioned in Section 4 and to that added the Cr\u00fabad\u00e1n corpus of K'iche' (Scannell, 2007) and processed them with the UDPipe 2.0 model described in the previous section.",

For instance, we see in the following example a directional bearing the phrase-final dependent status suffix -oq. Yet, the directional is not at clause boundary or before a functional head that embeds a clause. Instead, it occurs before a reflexive pronoun, which in K'iche' is a relational noun construction. 28\u2026 e kakimiq' ukoq kib'. \u2026 e ka-\u00f8-ki-miq' uk-oq k-ib'. \u2026 B3PL they warm DIR-SS themselves. acl nsubj advmod obj An example like Kekanaj kan kuk' chila ' [e kakimiq' ukoq kib'] . \"They remained over there with those [that were warming themselves].\" (28) is intriguing because while a counterexample, there are plausible stories one could tell. For instance, these reflexives are prosodic clitics. Perhaps the requirement that the status suffix be phrase final ignores expressions that are prosodically deficient because they do not count as independent phonological words. While arguing for this account would take more work, the fact that we have very quickly found a theoretically interesting counterexample to a prominent generalisation in literature shows the utility of the treebank for example mining.",
