    A Morphological Analysis of the Konso Verb with Emphasis on the Inflection of the Verb /
    (2014-05-16) Aylate, Gallo
    This linguistic project focuses on a Morphological Analysis of the Konso verb within the tense system of the language. The project has eight chapters which deal with particular topics. The first chapter deals with general introduction about the people, the syntactic typology of the language, and the scope of the research. Chapter two focuses on an over view of the verb system of the language. Chapter three gives a brief introduction on the relationship between the tense and aspect of the language. Chapter four begins the analysis of the inflection of the verb in context of the past tense. Chapter five continues to deal with the analysis verb in the context of the present tense. Chapter six continues with the analysis of how the verbs are inflected in the future tense. In chapter seven, we briefly see how the verbs are inflected in relative clauses. In doing this analysis, tables are used to summarize the discussions. Of course, some examples are given to see the functions of tenses in the language. Finally, chapter eight summarizes what has been discussed so far.

    Moro Verb Morphology
    (2014-05-16) Barnard, Timothy David
    This paper describes and analyses many features of both the inflectional and the derivational verb morphology of Moro, a Kordofanian language spoken in the Nuba Mountains of central Sudan. Chapter 1 provides a brief overview of the Moro people and language. Chapter 2 deals with inflectional morphology and focuses on tense and aspect. The complexity of Moro phonology is demonstrated, and the importance of grammatical tone is shown. Chapter 3 uses data from a word list to allow Moro derivational verb morphology to be explored. A probable medio-passive, anti-passive, reciprocal, causative and a benefactive are described. Finally, Chapter 4 looks at the vowel harmony system, drawing on insights from the previous chapters.

    (2014-05-16) Hand - Jinga, Kabucungu
    The goal of Bible translation is to help the people to have the Bible in the language which speaks to their hearts. The Gospel of Luke in Kitembo has been published and is being used in the churches and the Tembo Christian families. But the translators need to understand the linguistic role and the use of the verb in causative, applicative, and passive constructions. This work concerns a study of verb structure in Kitembo. The purpose is to understand the function of the verb and how it operates in the complexity of Kitembo speech.
