Retention, Reduction, and Transformation of Inflectional Resources

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book assesses the retention, reduction, and transformation of inflectional nominal morphology in the Edoid language Emai. Putting Emai and its noun class system into a broader cultural and archaeological context of historical language change, the authors explore what it means to be a Benue Congo language with a reduced inflectional system.
