I am very grateful to my Acehnese consultants, Saiful Mahdi (primary consultant) and Dian Rubianty, for their willingness to share all the Acehnese data. During the research, I benefitted from useful discussions with Mats Rooth, John Whitman, and especially Julie Legate, who first brought to my attention the Acehnese phenomenon discussed in this paper. The detailed comments and questions from two anonymous Studia Linguistica reviewers greatly helped improve both the content and presentation of the paper. Earlier versions of the paper were presented at the 83rd annual meeting of the Linguistic Society of America, the 33rd annual meeting of Penn Linguistics Colloquium, as well as the 20th meeting of the Austronesian Formal Linguistics Association. I would like to thank the audiences at these three meetings, Lance Nathan and the late Ivan Sag in particular, for their helpful feedback and criticism. The usual disclaimers apply, of course.
