Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

Nyakyusa is an underdescribed Bantu language spoken by around 800.000 speakers
in the Mbeya Region of Tanzania. This book provides a detailed description of
the verb in this language. The topics covered include the complex
morphophonological and morphological processes as well as verb-to-verb
derivation, copula verbs and grammaticalized verbs of motion. The main body of
the book consists of a detailed description of tense, aspect and modality
constructions, which includes not only an in-depth discussion of their
sentence level semantics, but also of their patterns of employment in
discourse.
 



Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis
                     Morphology
