(63) What type of marking is there for nominal arguments?
Alternatives to be checked: head-marking / dependent-marking / both / unmarked
a) intransitive
nominal argument
The man walks (up the stairs). (head-marking)
pronominal argument
He walks (up the stairs). (head- and dependent-marking)
Explanation: Dependent marking mostly refers to case marking (e.g., accusative, ergative, dative etc.) and adpositions while head-marking refers to verbal agreement indicating person or number (Nichols).
English has morphological dependent-marking in pronouns (e.g., he vs. him) only and head-marking only in third person.
