Abstract:

In A Grammar of Dazaga, Josiah Walters provides the first detailed description
and analysis of Dazaga (a Saharan language) in the past half-century. Based on
a review of previous work on Dazaga, and with his own more recent data, the
author describes the phonology, morphology, and syntax of Dazaga. He provides
a new analysis of the categorization of verbs in to classes, demonstrating the
prominence of light verb constructions in Dazaga. His analysis of the syntax
brings to light several striking features of Dazaga, including optional
ergative case marking, mixed alignment of objects, a variety of causative
constructions, and verb serialization. Throughout the work, the author relates
his findings to work on related languages and to recent typological studies.
