Abstract

This paper attempts to highlight different ways of plural formation in Bodo, one of the important languages of Tibeto-Burman branch of Sino-Tibetan language family of Assam.

This paper will explore these processes of plural formation. Keywords: Bodo, plural formation, suffix, collective term, reduplication
