| dc.description.abstract | 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. | en_US |
