題目：Anticipating sequences in West Formosan languages: Formal aspects, spread, applications, origins

摘要：Anticipating sequences are elements of the main verb that are prefixed to the auxiliary (which as a rule precedes the main verb). These elements are usually formal, typically constituting the first one or two syllables of the lexical verb. However, other elements show some semantic or emblematic agreement with the main verb. In this talk I discuss the geographical and sociolinguistic spread of anticipating sequences. I also discuss their possible origins both with regard to their individual forms as to their appearance as a category. Anticipating sequences occur in West Formosan languages including (at least) Saisiyat, Thao, Bunun, Lha'aloa, Siraya.
