Abstract:

In this talk I will continue the line of argument developed in Micali et al (2025) and explore the way suppletive patterns split across sub-domains of the verbal paradigm and according to the different functions (main verb vs auxiliary) of the verbs in question. I consider in particular those patterns which involve both finite and non-finite forms such as the stem sach- within the paradigm of French savoir or a split between finite and non-finite forms as in the go verb in the Lollovese variety of Sardinian (Pisano 2021).
