Abstract This paper examines the use of the ablative case clitic in locative phrases in Iraqw, a South Cushitic language of Tanzania. In the typological classification of locative marker syncretisms, Iraqw has been classified as a language with a Source=Location≠ Goal pattern. This pattern is extremely rare in languages of the world and has been argued to be unattainable. The Iraqw ablative case clitic has been reported as both source and location marker. New data shows that the directional case clitic, a goal marker, appears on locative constructions as well, but that it is used to express purpose rather than location. The data also shows that the ablative case clitic is found mainly in locational clauses with a main verb with a durative aspect. Based on this, I argue that in locative constructions, the ablative clitic expresses duration rather than location and I propose the reanalysis of the ablative marker in locative phrases as a durational marker. The notion of location does not need to be expressed overtly, but is a zero-marker. Therefore, the rare Source=Location≠ Goal pattern is no longer valid for Iraqw, and instead I propose the pattern Source≠ Location≠ Goal, which is common in languages of the world.

坦桑尼亚的一种库克语，即伊拉克语中的位置短语中的烧蚀气候

摘要本文研究了在坦桑尼亚南部库兹语语种伊拉克语中的位置短语中使用格格宾语格格宾语的用法。在定位标记合一性的类型分类中，伊拉克被分类为一种具有Source = Location≠Goal模式的语言。这种模式在世界上的语言中极为罕见，并且被认为是无法实现的。据报道，伊拉克人烧蚀性病例的气候是来源和位置的标志。新数据表明，定向情况下的目标标记也出现在位置构造上，但它是用来表示目的而不是位置。数据还显示，烧蚀性格格句格现象主要出现在带有主谓语且具有持续性的位置性从句中。基于此，我认为在位置结构中，烧蚀性气候表示持续时间而不是位置，我建议重新分析位置短语中的烧蚀性标记作为持续性标记。位置的概念不需要公开表达，而是一个零标记。因此，罕见的Source = Location≠Goal模式对伊拉克人不再有效，而我提出了Source≠Location≠Goal模式，这在世界上的语言中很常见。
