Event nominalizations in Iraqw

Research master thesis | Linguistics (research) (MA)
Event nominalizations in Iraqw, a Cushitic language spoken in Tanzania, have a number of interesting properties. Particularly, they do not license arguments; instead, thematically related nominals may occur as possessors, or as arguments of the main clause. This thesis, based partially on new data gathered during fieldwork in Tanzania, provides an overview of the morphosyntactic properties of event nominals in Iraqw, as well as an analysis of their internal structure and the syntactic status of their arguments, using the framework of Distributed Morphology.
