Rezumat:There is a long-standing debate regarding the syntactic status of object markers in Bantu languages. A major part of this debate involves the status of object markers as incorporated pronouns or spell-out of an Agree relation. The current paper examines a range of comparative Bantu object marking data in the light of a hybrid analysis of object clitics as proposed by Roberts (2010). The challenges of object doubling and differential object marking are addressed in a proposal that only DP objects that have a separate [Person] layer can double, i.e. involving spell out of the object marker as well as the DP itself, and precisely these objects are interpreted as high on the scales of animacy, definiteness and/or givenness. This results in a featural typology of Bantu object marking, where languages differ in whether or not little v has φ features and whether [Person] can form a separate layer.
