Class Marking in Emai

Retention, Reduction, and Transformation of Inflectional Resources

Beschreibung

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.
