A repair for PCC and inverse contexts in Adyghe*

The focus of this paper is a PCC pattern from the Northwest Caucasian language Adyghe. In this language, a cislocative marker emerges as a repair within applicative intransitives if the object outranks the subject on the person scale. In ditransitives, however, the cislocative appears if the indirect object outranks the direct object on the person scale. This pattern is unusual in two respects: First, prominent argument combinations seem to require a repair in ditransitives, in contrast to the common assumption that these scenarios are morphologically less marked than their non-prominent counterparts. Second, the subject argument of ditransitives seems to be invisible wrt. to the emergence of the cislocative. In this paper, we explore the compatibility of existing PCC approaches with the patterns
