Abstract:

This book presents a collection of papers on clusivity, a newly coined termfor the inclusive-exclusive distinction. Clusivity is a widespread featurefamiliar from descriptive grammars and frequently figuring in typologicalschemes and diachronic scenarios. However, no comprehensive exploration ofit has been available so far. This book is intended to make the first steptowards a better understanding of the inclusive-exclusive opposition, bydocumenting the current linguistic knowledge on the topic.

The issues discussed include the categorial and paradigmatic status of theopposition, its geographical distribution, realization in free vs boundpronouns, inclusive imperatives, clusivity in the 2nd person, honorificuses of the distinction, etc. These case studies are complemented by theanalysis of the opposition in American Sign Language as opposed to spokenlanguages. In-depth areal and family surveys of clusivity consider thisopposition in Austronesian, Tibeto-Burman, central-western South American,Turkic languages, and in Mosetenan and Shuswap.

Index 425-436

"Let's face it (which is inclusive, while let us isn't), there is now onlyone really authoritative source of knowledge about (in/ex) clusivity: thisbook, the work of an international team of experts on that category and thelanguages that insist on expressing it. No pronouns shelf in aself-respecting private or public library should be missing it."Frans Plank, University of Konstanz

"This is a fine, varied collection, which should put the issue of'clusivity' on the intellectual map."Greville Corbett, University of Surrey, Guildford
