"Verbal Alternations in Akan"
It has been recognized that the variation in the expression of the arguments of a verb is based largely on its meaning. This paper explores the relevant verbal alternations that verbs in Akan, a Kwa language spoken in Ghana, participate in. The following are discussed: Causative/Inchoative Alternation, Unexpressed Object Alternation, and Ditransitive Alternation. The paper also examines the interaction between certain alternations and serialization. | |
