Abstract

We describe and analyze the marking pattern of direct objects in Kimwani. We describe the Marking Type of the DOM and we present evidence that, in Kimwani the relevance hierarchy of the object does not relate the DOM to the scale or degree of affectation, but rather the [+ human] and [+ animality] traits are at the highest point of the hierarchy, and require differential marking in the direct object position. This result points in the opposite direction from Dowty (1991) theoretical proposal based on data from English, Hopper and Thompson (1980) and Nᴂss (2004) using data from several languages.
