Abstract:
This reference grammar is the first ever description of West Africa’s Edoid
language Emai. It incorporates narrative, lexical and grammatical field
results over the last three decades. Treated are morphology, syntax and
argument structure after an introductory phonology and orthographic overview
highlighting grammatical and lexical tone. Individual chapters delineate noun
and verb phrase structure as well as clause shape in discourse and clause
combination. Noun inflection and derivation are detailed as is verb inflection
in the context of tense, aspect and modality. Noun phrase character
encompasses remnant noun classes, nominal modification types and pronoun forms
followed by conjunction. Verb phrase features include complex predicates, both
verbs in series and verb plus postverbal particle, functionally distinct
copulas, double objects, and sentence complement types constrained by matrix
verb. Also analyzed are preverbal and postverbal adverbials relative to
information question types. Multi-clause constructions are profiled as to
coding varieties across dependent clauses as well as precedence relations. A
concluding chapter presents a sample narrative in orthographic form,
interlinear gloss and English free translation.
