Abstract<\/b><\/p>\n

Reduplication is commonly exhibited by markers of distributivity. Although distributivity markers can either mark the key (as determiner each<\/em> does, as in each child saw a lion<\/em>) or the share (as with binominal each<\/em>, as in the boys saw a lion each<\/em>), it has been conjectured that distributivity markers formed through reduplication are always markers of the share, rather than the key. Here we discuss a case that challenges but ultimately vindicates this conjecture. In Mandinka (spoken in Senegambia), reduplicating a nominal with interposition of the morpheme -woo-<\/em> gives rise to a distributive reading. We investigated the semantics of the X-woo-X<\/em> construction and found that it behaves as a key-marker, but also as a share-marker. We take these findings to support an analysis on which X-woo-X<\/em> signals ‘simultaneous distributivity’, simultaneously marking both key and share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
