Ebook: Inclusive / exclusive distinctions in Sive (spoken Manchu) and Khalkha Mongolian

Kyushu University. — 16 p.This paper was originally written in 1997, but its publication was deferred because (i) the conclusion that the Cabcal third county dialect of Sive has the typical distinction of inclusive / exclusive pronoun, unlike the Hui-yuan dialect, seemed of little interest to me; (ii) I had insufficient data, especially for Khalkha Mongolian. However, I have now decided to publish the paper with some corrections and additions because (i) it is important to present data which refer to the typical distinction in the Cabcal third county dialect, given the argument of Fukuzawa and Hayata (2003) that the typical distinction of the first person plural pronouns is dubious (cf. the last section of this paper); (ii) the Khalkha Mongolian data relating to inclusive/exclusive distinction have not yet been published.
