Differential object marking in French
2023Abstract This study is dedicated to the question whether French possesses (optional) DOM, i.e. direct object marking, which it answers in a negative way. French is traditionally considered to lack a differential marker for the direct object (cf. e.g. Körner, 1987).

Differential object marking in Catalan
Linguistic Variation, 2021AbstractIn this paper we provide a comprehensive picture of differential object marking in Catalan, focusing on both the empirical facts and their theoretical contribution. We support some important conclusions. First, Catalan differential object marking is quite a robust and widespread phenomenon, contrary to what prescriptive grammars assume. Second,

AbstractChapter 8 is dedicated to the noun types that have been identified in the previous chapters as DOM-marked. This is the case for a class of nouns in Tamil and Korean. As expected, these noun types do not show any movement restrictions, akin to case-marked objects in the respective languages. Moreover, their binding, control, and scope properties

Abstract Under many recent formal accounts, differential object marking has been taken to signal nominals that must undergo licensing in the clausal syntax, as they bear an [uC] feature (Ormazabal & Romero 2013a; Alcaraz 2018; Bárány 2018; Kalin 2018, among others).

Differential object marking in Tigrinya
Journal of African Languages and Linguistics, 2009Tigrinya, a Semitic language spoken in Eritrea and Ethiopia, is one of about 300 known languages world-wide that mark certain direct object nominals while leaving others unmarked. Cross-linguistically, this phenomenon, known as differential object marking (DOM), is most often correlated with the relative definiteness and/or animacy of the object.

Differential object marking in P’orhépecha
Studies in Language, 2020Abstract This paper analyzes Differential Object Marking in P’orhépecha, which involves split case and fluid case alternations. Although this system is sensitive to Animacy and Definiteness, I will show that prominence on these scales does not account for the distribution of flagging.

Differential object marking in Basque varieties
2016This chapter studies Differential Object Marking (DOM) in nonstandard varieties of Basque. DOM in Basque overtly resembles a common DOM pattern of coding direct as indirect objects in both case and agreement, that is absolutives as datives, according to their animacy and specificity, as in Spanish and Hindi-Urdu.

Differential Object Marking in Romance
2023Differential marking as applied to direct objects has long been discussed as one of the characterizing traits of many Romance languages. There is, however, wide consensus that a detailed investigation into the nature of this phenomenon raises numerous challenges both at the empirical and theoretical level.

Differential object marking in Barese
2023Abstract This article describes the behaviour of differential object marking (DOM) in Barese in the light of a preliminary study conducted by the author, which is here refined and rectified thanks to sets of novel data. A variety of referents along the Definiteness Scale is considered and discussed, and these suggest that ...

Differential Object Marking and Other Object Licensing Strategies
Revue roumaine de linguistique, 2023The theoretical status of differential object marking (DOM) has given rise to numerous debates. In this paper we examine data from a set of languages with DOM (Uzbek, Hindi-Urdu, Estonian, Finnish), showing that previous theories addressing the problem of object licensing in DOM languages are insufficient to account for the data.
