The verbal extensions in Southern Bantu languages: A Descriptive and Comparative Classification
At the beginning of this year (1973) members of the Department of African Languages at the University of Cape Town met in a daily seminar to discuss post-radical elements in predicatives [P] occurring in sentences [Ss] of the type:Ss → [(S) + P]where the subject [S] precedes a verbal predicate [Pv] ... but not a copular predicate [Pc]. The topic of our discussions was in part the subject of Professor Whiteley's work on transitivity in Swahili, th…

The tone of verb stems in Xhosa
SYNOPSIS A short list of disyllabic verb stems with their final position infinitive tone pattern indicated.

The third tone pattern must however be related to a historical stage where the vocabulary was subject to the same influences that produced long vowels in some Central Bantu languages. This process however affects only the high‐toned ve…
The stative conjugation in Zulu, Sotho and Venda
SYNOPSIS Verb forms denoting states are described as part of S. Bantu verb conjugations. In order to analyse them accurately it is necessary to distinguish “meaning” and “reference”. Secondly, in analysis, the principle is that where there is no formal (lexical, morphological or syntactical) distinction the attempt to recognize “referential” distinctions will mostly prove to be unfruitful. A selector system of verb forms (based on syntactical con…
