HCE Candidates PART .1 Primitive Syntax
5.36.2 HCE Candidates
Get is another basilectal marker par excellant. It is a highly polysemous form in HCE. The most prominent sense of get is probably the existential. There are examples which suggest that one sense of get which might be an exponent of PART: ER:776 Yeah. Us go weeding, go pull all the grass inside. The cane big, eh, big and get da kine thorn inside. MM:343 And then, they get the box in there. And the box get two handles here. It may be possible to paraphrase the relevant sentences in the following manner: “Part of the big sugar cane are the thorns inside” and “Part of the box is two handles”. It is also possible to analyze these constructions as existentials: “there are thorns inside of the sugar cane” and “there are two handles onin the box”. While thornssugar cane and handlesboxes may be related as part to whole, the following examples are even less convincing: ER:838 And this house had one partition go outside, that’s the store. They get the store right by the cement. Get the cement come over there, that’s where our store. That’s for the ranch, you can go buy any kind inside there. Open Monday, Wednesday and Friday, every other day. MM:342 That’s a good one. Nobody get toilet in the house. And nobody get da kine toilet that, you know, where they dig that puka, eh? They get one, they used to call ’em “ice cream box,” you know. They get one toilet, and the best place is.... Let’s say, if this was sixty, seventy years ago, our toilet would be alongside the road there, you know. And the toilet get separation, get two rooms, see. In one room get two seat. Of course, one seat, but get two hole. One big hole and one small hole. One for children, see. MM:371 What they mean by “dry land,” they no more irrigation, see. They only waiting for the rain come down. So the lines are almost flat, yo. Only when they go irrigation field, the lines stay like this, eh? So, that’s why, they got to adjust, see. From one field, from unirrigated field you go to the irrigation field, you got to adjust your point, yo. The point, you got to put one up, the other one down, the other one up, so that the low one stay inside the line. And on the long point, the one go inside the line, get one big blade, we call it, knife, yo. And that thing, he slide on top the cane and then he cut only the cane, eh? SU:549 Yeah. All night. So, I find the old lumber, everything, I nail ’em up. Of course, kitchen had door and everything. So, at that time, nobody will steal anything. You just leave the things down there, nobody walk away with ’em. 269 Since I have presented here the most semantically plausible of the examples, I must therefore conclude that no sense of get should be considered an exponent of the primitive PART. The only reasonable candidate for NSM PART is HCE pat.5.36.3 Examples of pat
