Dear Colleagues,<br><br>I have worked (or am working) descriptively on two non-related African languages (Yeyi, Bantu) and (Nalu, Atlantic) and in both languages I have found a marker that works subjunctively, e.g. it appears in subordinate sentences expressing purpose, wishes, necessity etc. and it can be used to form polite directives or obligatives.<br>
<br>Interestingly to me, the same marker appears in narrative texts used as a dependent 'tense' marker, i.e. it orders events consecutively to a (usually aforementioned) event. In other words, it appears on predicates that encode consecutive events after a baseline time of reference has been established, usually by a previous explicitly TAM marked predicate. It basically adds the meaning 'and then' to the proposition (see example below). <br>
I am interested, if anybody working on languages outside of Africa has ever come across such an overlap between subjunctive and narrative functions. However, comments about other African languages are also highly welcome.<br>
<br>[Please note that the glossing for Nalu is still preliminary, since i have just started decoding Nalu grammar.]<br><br>[For people who wonder about a marker <b>ku-</b> being designated as a subjunctive in a Bantu language, please note that Yeyi also features the more typically Bantu suffix <b>-e</b> to mark the subjunctive. In contrast to the 'consecutive tense' <b>ku-</b> illustrated below this subjunctive form does not appear as a 'consecutive tense'. If <b>ku-</b> is used subjunctively it bears habitual meaning that is best rendered as 'always' or 'continually' in English. I have included a contrast below after the narrative example on Yeyi]<br>
<br>Thanks to all of you in advance for your comments.<br><br><b>NALU:</b><br>
