Provided abstract:
Data from language contact support the following view of
roots:• Roots are devoid of categorical information• Roots merge with (overt
or covert) categorizers in the syntax• The realization of roots and their
functional vocabulary as identified in work on language mixing informs
theories of what a word is, how it is built, and how concepts are lexicalized
across languages
