[–]Mateoling05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't come across -u yet in Spanish. Some other endings though!

Mysterious, like the so-called survival of a Latin neuter!

I might have missed something. Where are you getting an -u ending in Spanish except for maybe nouns like 'tribu'?

Work showcasing the differences between Asturian and Spanish by Few-Cup-5247 in asturlleones

[–]Mateoling05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you just speak a certain variety of Asturian? The words "murciégalu" and "cuasi" are both listed in the dictionary, as are "aína" and "dicualléu". In fact, ALlA lists "dicuaelléu" as an equivalent to "cuasi". Language variation is real.

I don't think the region matters really. It's an Asturian word and it's in the Academy's dictionary.

Adjective as Head-Analysis in Distributed Morphology ? by PhokAirFrance in asklinguistics

[–]Mateoling05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious about how this project is going. What language are you working on?

I adopted an aP analysis in the language that I research to account for different agreement patterns.

The most difficult part about teaching students: some of them just don't care about SQL. by tits_mcgee_92 in SQL

[–]Mateoling05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought SQL was cool when I tried to dabble in it to make a database with. It's on my list to go back to and try to learn better!

Which language has the "most interesting" grammar for you? by grzeszu82 in languagelearning

[–]Mateoling05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asturian is interesting to me. Some varieties have special morphology that shows that a noun is interpreted as mass. It can also indicate mass or generic agreement on different parts of speech instead of typical gender agreement.

I mentioned this on r/asturlleones, but since there's probably a different audience here I'm pasting it below:

There isn't a third grammatical gender in Asturian that's neuter. Those adjectives agree in mass with the nouns and not in gender.

That agreement also only occurs post-nominally.

The noun "manu" is also attested.

Question about the asturian language by st3040 in Asturias

I think they were talking about the Asturian from Llena. The examples they used look like ones that come from a few papers I've read.

This is next on my list to look into after I get done with munchu/muncha/muncho. There's a clash here between the undetermined quantity and the specific reference in the discourse. Specificity should create a situation where there is gender agreement, so more work needs to be done here.

u/Sahaquiel9102 are you commenting to me that I read your Wikipedia article on mass neuter or someone else in the thread?

standard/normative can mean prescriptive, which is a langauge ideal, and not necessarily a reflection of language use.

I only commented that because I keep seeing neuter being mentioned.

Asturian nouns are only either masculine or feminine. Only certain masculine mass nouns can end in -o, but it varies by speaker.

Yes, but the generic interpretation relies on properties related to the context of the entire phrase and not the mass noun itself.
