Viambishi Nafsi katika Muundo wa Kitenzi cha Kikuria (E43) [Personal Pronouns in Kuria (E43) Verb Structure]
In: UtafitiIkisiri
Viambishi nafsi ni miongoni mwa viambishi ambatizi ambavyo hupachikwa mwanzoni mwa vitenzi vya Kibantu (yaani kabla ya mzizi). Kazi kubwa ya viambishi nafsi ni kuleta upatanisho wa kisarufi. Tafiti nyingi zinaonesha kuwa viambishi vya uambatizi hutokea kabla ya mzizi wa kitenzi, tofauti na vile vya unyambulishaji vinavyobadili kategoria au maana vinavyotokea baada ya mzizi. Makala hii inachunguza nafasi ya viambishi nafsi katika kitenzi cha Kikuria (E43). Data iliyotumika ni ya maktabani, hasa kutoka kwenye chapisho la Charwi (2017) na kutoka maandiko mengine ya Kikuria. Nadharia iliyotumika ni Nadharia ya Uambatizi kama inavyoelezwa na Stump (2001), ambayo inafafanua kuwa kila neno linaloambikwa ndani ya sentensi linabeba seti ya sifa za kimofosintaksia. Makala hii imebaini kuwa viambishi hivi vinaweza kutokea kabla au baada ya mzizi wa kitenzi na havibadili kategoria au maana ya neno.
Abstract
Personal pronouns are among the prefixes attached to Bantu verbs. The major role of personal pronouns is to ensure grammatical concord. Most studies show that inflectional affixes occur before the verb root, as opposed to extension affixes which change lexical categories or meanings; the latter appear after the verb root. This essay investigates the position of personal pronouns in the Kuria (E43) verb. Data were collected from published works, particularly from Charwi (2017) and from other sources of litertaure on Kuria. Affixation theory was employed as advanced by Stump (2001), which posits that each word attached within a sentence carries a set of morpho-syntactic properties. It is shown in this article that these pronouns can appear before or after the verb root and that they do not change lexical categories or meanings.
