  • Restrictive vs non-restrictive relative clauses in Hausa where morphosyntax and semantics meet

    Open AccessPhilip J JaggarARTICLEStudies in African Linguistics1998

    Restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses in Hausa are characterized by morpho syntactic properties which are in (near) complementary distribution. Restrictives are introduced by one of two relative markers--either complex HL(L) tone wanda/wadda/waaanda (MSG/FSG/PL) 'the one(s) who(m), which, that etc', or simplex da 'who(m), which, that, etc.'-and (normally) require a focus (suka, suke, etc.) form of the inflectional (perfective/imperfect…

  • LTR a response to Schuh

    Open AccessPaul Newman, Philip J JaggarARTICLEStudies in African Linguistics1989

    Some twenty years ago Leben proposed that Hausa had a productive, essentially exceptionless P rule ("L TR") to the effect that any word fmal L L sequence automatically changed to L H if the final vowel of the word was long. Since that time, L TR has become accepted as a phonological rule of Hausa alongside such well-established rules as vowel shortening in closed syllables or palatalization of coronal consonants before front vowels. The aim of ou…

  • Low tone raising in Hausa a critical assessment

    Open AccessPaul Newman, Philip J JaggarARTICLEStudies in African Linguistics1989

    Low tone raising (LTR) refers to a phonological rule postulated for Hausa by Leben [1971], whereby word-final Low-Low sequences change to Low-High if the final vowel is long. In the first part of the paper, we show that counterexamples to the rule are considerably more numerous and more varied than previously thought. In the second part, we demonstrate that the morphotonemic alternations that served to justify LTR can all be explained by other, b…
