| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this thesis is to present a description of the morphosyntactic marking of syntactic relations in Kunama (Shukre). To accomplish this objective basic techniques of marking syntactic relations like case marking, adpositional marking, and constituent order are discussed and applied to Kunama. The study adopts Basic Linguistic Theory as its theoretical framework and all the descriptions are from the perspective of this theory. In the case marking section the study reaches the conclusion that there are two core cases called nominative and objective as well as many peripheral cases. The characteristics of all these cases are discussed in detail. Constituent order (SOV) helps to identify arguments. Finally, the language has also a very rich system of possession-marking constructions. | en_US |
