GONZALEZ, Raúl Eduardo. INDEXING OF NON-SUBJECT ARGUMENTS PROMPTED BY APPLICATIVE FORMS IN TOBA TO THE EAST OF FORMOSA (ARGENTINA). Forma funcion, Santaf, de Bogot, D.C. [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.2, pp.39-61. ISSN 0120-338X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/fyf.v29n2.60188.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the verbal pronominal morphemes «-te», «-lo», and «-o» that encode number of P (more patient-like argument of transitive clauses) on constructions with applicative affixes. These verbal pronominal morphemes are described in terms of their semantic features, and specially in regards to their status as pronominal indexes by comparison with the ones that encode the syntactic functions of the subject arguments on clauses without applicatives. In this paper, in accordance with Haspelmath (2013), the description of dependent pronominal forms and agreement markers are included within a wider phenomenon called indexation. The analysis proposed is based on a corpus of oral narrative texts and elicited clauses collected by fieldwork carried out in Toba communities from eastern Formosa (Argentina).
