Number is marked in most Hopi constituent types - in some affixes and postpositions, as well as in the traditional parts of speech. Number is also marked by every process in the language, by affixation, reduplication and suppletion. Number-marking in Hopi involves the intersection of grammatical regularity and idiosyncratic irregularity. Rules of the grammar can be specified for the regularities of number-marking and number agreement, e. g., that all inanimate nouns are marked for plural in a particular way, that for certain derived noun or verb forms other particular plural formations will be selected, that plural verbs occur with plural subjects, that demonstratives and nominalized verbal modifiers of nouns are of the same number as the modified noun, and so on. |
