Vocative
agreement
in Latvian
and the principle
of morphology-free syntax
Latvian
grammars state that the form of adjectives modifying vocatives in
Latvian can be determined by morphological rather than syntactic
case: a special vocative ending -o
is claimed to be possible only when the vocative controlling
agreement has a special form distinct from the nominative. This would
contradict Zwicky&rsquo;s
principle of phonology-free and morphology-free syntax, as normally
only the morphosyntactic feature value of the noun should be visible
to the adjective, not the way in which it is realised. It has been
suggested, on the other hand, that the vocative is not really a case,
and that typologically speaking it is not a likely agreement feature.
The aim of the article is, then, to examine how vocative agreement
actually works in Latvian, and how the apparent exception to
the general principles ruling
agreement can be explained. First, the degree of integration of the
vocative in the Latvian case system is examined (in comparison with
Lithuanian), and it is suggested that the zero endings characteristic
of Latvian vocatives (as a result of phonetic development) could have
been reinterpreted as truncation, and that a similar truncated ending
was created for the adjective through borrowing of the accusative
ending. As truncated vocatives tend to be asyntactic (often being
incapable of adjectival modification), it is suggested that the
extension
of the truncated form to the adjective was not mediated by the
regular mechanisms of agreement but by what is tentatively described
as &lsquo;vocative
smear&rsquo;&#8213;the
phonologically driven spread of the vocative feature of truncation to
the surroundings of the vocative noun.
Keywords:

vocative,
agreement, phonology-free syntax, morphology-free syntax
