Abstract:

Nama is a Papuan language spoken by around 1200 people in the Morehead
district of southern New Guinea. It is a member of the Nambu subgroup
of the Yam family of languages (also known as the Morehead-Upper Maro
family). This grammar is the first published comprehensive description
of a language in this subgroup. Nama has an interesting complex
morphology with 21 nominal suffixes (17 case-marking) and 31 verbal
prefixes and suffixes, indexing arguments (person/number) and
indicating tense (current, recent, remote) and aspect
(perfective/imperfective, inceptive, punctual, delimited, durative).
Nama also has some linguistic features that are either very rare or
not attested in other languages.

Linguistic Field(s): Morphology

Written In: English (eng)
