The search for V-stranding VP ellipsis in isiXhosa
It has been argued that V-stranding VP ellipsis exists in Bantu languages such as Kiswahili, Ndendeule, Chingoni, Kikuyu and Shingazidja. In the derivation, the verb moves to I0 in a tensed clause and thus survives VP ellipsis. However, through an examination of the components of a VP and their syntactic positions, we demonstrate that isiXhosa does not have V-stranding VP ellipsis. The article shows that VP-internal constituents – including objec…
Amaphi ama-subjects eniwa-enjoy-ayo esikolweni
The speech behaviour in which at least two distinct languages are used in the same conversation (code-switching) is a pervasive feature found in the language produced by fluent bilinguals, particularly when the speakers engage in informal conversation. The multilingual context of South Africa ensures that code-switching is not only a common phenomenon, but that it is probably the most natural speech pattern for presenting multiple identities of s…
Enlarged arguments in Bantu
My Madam is Fine
It is well known among sociolinguists that in any language contact situation one language tends to have sociopolitical dominance over the other, and that linguistic borrowing tends to flow from the more dominant to the less dominant language. This paper presents evidence from English loans in Chichewa (Bantu) which shows that the recipient language is not a passive participant in the borrowing process: the borrowing language makes various modific…
Passive and Stative in Chichewa
This article examines stative and passive constructions in Chichewa, finding that the syntax of the two constructions is best accommodated in a model that allows argument structure changing operations, such as stative, to be distinguished from operations, such as passive, that affect the mapping from argument structure to grammatical functions. The Chichewa facts recall observations made concerning the differences between English adjectival and v…
