A Morphosemantic Account of Verb Extension in C’LELA
Journal Title: Scholars Bulletin - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Abstract:This article provides a descriptive account of the morphosemantics of verb extension in C’lela. It examines the forms, and the semantic functions of the various verbal extensions in the language. The article looks at the simple concatenative and non-concatenative morphological operations that relate to core arguments in verb extension in C’lela. The study discovers that while most Niger-Congo / Bantu languages use affixation in verb extension processes; C’lela often employs a non-concatenative system to achieve similar processes. The present analysis contributes to the studies on verb extension in Niger-Congo languages. Keywords: C’lela, verb extension, causative, applicative, benefactive, recipient
