It is argued that the traditional belief that the formal expression of the dual in Chamorro is restricted to intransitivity / low transitivity is inadequate since it precludes the possibility of accounting constructions in which the dual is also expressed in combination with transitive verbs. In the empirical part of the study, evidence of the recurrent violations of the intransitivity-based restrictions is discussed. It is shown that the dual is not excluded from transitive predicates. The dual is also firmly established in the realm of transitivity albeit only in the third person. In addition, the dual also exists in areas of Chamorro grammar for which it has hitherto been ignored. The hypothesis is put forward that the dual in the domain of transitivity is a diachronic innovation. The Chamorro facts are compared to those of Numic languages in North America.

关于查莫洛双重身份的赤裸裸的真相

有人认为,查莫洛语中对偶的形式表达仅限于不及物性/低及物性的传统信念是不充分的,因为它排除了会计结构的可能性,其中对偶也与及物动词结合表达。在研究的实证部分,讨论了反复违反基于不可传递性的限制的证据。结果表明,对偶没有被排除在传递谓词之外。对偶也牢固地建立在及物性领域,尽管只是在第三人称中。此外,对偶也存在于查莫罗文法领域,但迄今为止一直被忽视。提出了传递域中的对偶是历时性创新的假设。
