Mass nouns in TshivendaSiaga, Henry T. 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigates the mass nouns in Tshivenda. The specific mass nouns in each
nominal class will then be investigated to see whether they have certain morphological
and syntactic features which are different from count nouns.
Chapter one is the introduction of this study. It describes the aim, organisation and
method of the study.
Chapter two is the overview of the literature on mass nouns. It gives overview of the
most prominent words on mass nouns in general. Some of the prominent works on this
alternation include the following: Pelletier (1979a, 1979b,); Ware (1979), Cartwright
(1979), McCawley (1979) Chierchia (1982), Link (1983) and Eschenbach (1993).
Chapter three investigates which nouns may be mass nouns, the purpose of the
classification of nouns in wordnet, nominal classes in Tshivenda and the morphological
and syntactic features of mass and count nouns.
Chapter four is the conclusion of the study, the summary as well as investigation into
the morphological, syntactic and semantic feature of plurality. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die meervoudige naamwoorde in Tshivenda. Die spesifieke
meervoudige naamwoorde sal elkeen in sy normale klas geondersoek word om te sien
of hulle sekere morfologiese en sintaktiese eienskappe het, wat nie ooreen stem met
tel naamwoorde.
Hoofstuk 1 is die inleiding van hierdie studie. Dit beskryf die doelwit, organisasie en
metode van die studie.
Hoofstuk 2 is ‘n oorsig van die literatuur aangaande meervoudige naamwoorde.
Hierdie is ‘n oorsig van die mees prominente meervoudige naamwoorde in die
algemeen. Sommige van die prominente werke van hierdie nasie sluit die volgende in:
Pelletier 91979a; 1979b), Ware (1979), Cartwright (1979), McCawley (1979), Chierchia
(1982), Link (1983) en Eschenbach (1993).
Hoofstuk 3 identifiseer meervoudige naamwoorde. Die doel van die klasifikasie van
naamwoorde in woordnet, normale klassie in Tshivenda en die morfologiese en
sintaktiese eienskappe van meervoudigheid.
Hoofstuk 4 is die konklusie van die studie, die opsomming as ook die ondersoek in
die morfologiese, sinktaktiese en semantieke eienskappe van meervoudigheid.

Relational nouns in XhosaMajova, Ernest Kollie 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Relational nouns are dependent on one another in terms of how they themselves denote
e.g. brother and neigbour denote individually standing in relation to at least one other
individual in specific nouns. This study has established how relational nouns are treated in
Xhosa. The study has focused on horizontal relations with a semantic feature of [±
sibling] and hierarchical relations with two distingualising semantic features: [±
dependent] and [± kinship]. According to these two types of relations the study has then
been divided into two main sections, i.e. non-kinship relational nouns with vertical and
horizontal relation with and without any dependency. The second part concentrated on
kinship terms with emphasis on names such as marriage, lineal and collateral descent and
in-laws. Various semantic features for kinship terms have been developed. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Relasionele naamwoorde is afhanklik van mekaar in terme van hoedanig hulle self
betekenis aandui, bv. Broer en buurman dui individue aan wat in verhouding staan met
ten minste een ander individu op spesifieke maniere. Hierdie studie het vasgestel hoe
relasionale naamwoorde in Xhosa behandel word. Die studie het gefokus op horisontale
verhoudings met 'n semantiese kenmerk van [± verwantskap] en hiërargiese verhoudings
met twee onderskeie semantiese kenmerke: [±afhanklik] en [± verwantskap]. Volgens
hierdie twee tipes verhoudings is die studie verdeel in twee hoofafdelings, dit is relasionele
naamwoorde met geen verwantskap met vertikale en horisontale verhoudings met en
sonder enige afhanklikheid. Die tweede deel konsentreer op verwantskapsterme met
nadruk op sake soos die huwelik, bloedverwante in die regstreekse linie en in die syline
sowel as die aangetroude familie. Verskeie semantiese kenmerke vir verwantskapsterme
is ontwikkel.

Relational nouns in TshivendaMakhavhu, Mashudu Tryphinah 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: 1.1 AIM OF THE RESEARCH
Relational nouns are those nouns which have the characteristic of
being related in some other way. These nouns also show us that
there is always equality and inequality in status amongst the
people. It is in this research where I am going to show this
difference amongst tshivenda nouns. At the end of this study
tshivenda relational nouns, with the involvement of vertical
relations of dependency and horizontal relations with no
dependency, will be explained. Focus on this issue will be paid to
different kinship terms with dependency and no dependency.
1.2. ORGANISATION OF THE STUDY
Chapter 2 is going to focus on the tshivenda relational nouns. In
this chapter vertical relations of dependency and horizontal
relations with no dependency will be clearly explained. Kinship
terms and non-kinship terms are also going to be illustrated. In the
illustration of non-kinship terms, different situations in which they
occur are also given. Venda antonyms and synonyms as words that
occur in horizontal relations with no dependency are distinguished
and classified. Chapter 3 will basically be doing with the kikinship terms.
Anthropological views on kinship will also be looked at.
Anthropologists Radcliffe – Brown and Fortes give their different
views on the concept of kinship. This chapter goes further by
showing the linquistic views on kinship. Here Doodenough comes
with two relationships that lead to lineal descent. Lounsburry also
shows the structural analysis of lexical set of covers and partitions
a semantic field.
The chapter proceeds by defining marriage and also shows how the
Vhavenda boys choose their partners, pay lobola and marry. A
Venda lineal descent has also been illustrated. Different
generations, from the fourth ascending generation to the third
descending generation are explained.
Chapter 4 will be showing the outcome of the research. This will
be based on chapters 2 and 3.

Case and syntactic geometryNoonan, Máire B. January 1992 (has links)
The first part of this thesis addresses the following questions: where in the syntactic tree, and at what representational level is an NP Case-checked. To this end, it presents converging data from French, Welsh and Irish, which suggest (i) that Case-checking may be accomplished under a variety of functional projections (subject to parametric variation); and (ii) that Case positions are--at least partially--independent of the A/A$ sp prime$-distinction. It furthermore presents evidence from Irish and Welsh--VSO languages in which NPs typically raise to their Case position only at LF--that NPs are, under certain conditions, Case-checked at S-structure. / Chapter 2 investigates word order and cliticisation in Standard French and Quebec French interrogatives and proposes a typology of interrogatives. Chapter 3 and 4 account for complementizer variation, pre-verbal particles and agreement patterns in Welsh and Irish under a Case-theoretic approach. / The second part of this thesis concerns the conditions on the availability of structural accusative Case. A theory of structural Case is proposed according to which accusativity is a configurational rather than a lexical property--i.e., resulting from syntactic geometry and not from lexical feature specifications on verbs. To this end, a comparison between the syntactic mapping of stative and perfective predicates in Irish and English is undertaken.

Descriptive nominal modifiers in SetswanaTheledi, Kgomotso Mothokhumo Ambitious 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
The study focused on three descriptive nominal modifiers which specify the attributes of
nouns, i.e. the morphological adjective, the relative clause and the descriptive possessive.
The morphological adjective appears in an adjectival phrase, which has to consist of a
determiner and an adjective. The adjective must have agreement with the head noun in
an NP. The adjective root may appear with nominal suffixes such as -ana and -gadi, it can
be reduplicated, it may be transposed to other categories and it may even be
compounded. The AP may also occur in predicative position as well as in comparative
clauses.
The relative clause may have the same semantic properties as the adjective. The relative
clause in Setswana consists of a determiner in the position of the complementizer followed
by an lP. Such an lP may have a copulative or non-copulative verb. Attention in this study
has focused on the nominal relative, which appears as a complement of a copulative verb.
These nominal relative stems have been divided into two sections, i.e. a section in which
the nominal relative stems may not appear in a descriptive possessive construction and a
second section where these stems may also appear as a complement of the possessive
[a]. The semantic features of these nominal relative stems have been isolated and it is
clear that they show a wide variety of semantic features. This type of relative clause
represents the most prolific category, which specifies the attributes of nouns.
The third category, which displays the semantic feature of an attribute of a noun, is the
descriptive possessive construction. The syntactic and semantic structure of this type of
phrase has been investigated. A wide variety of complements of the possessive [a] have
been isolated in Setswana and some semantic features have received specific attention,
i.e. group nouns and partitives. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING:
Die studie fokus op drie deskriptiewe nominale bepalers wat die attribute van naamwoorde
spesifiseer nl. die morfologiese adjektief, die relatief en die deskriptiewe possessief.
Die morfologiese adjektief kom voor in 'n adjektieffrase wat bestaan uit 'n bepaler en 'n
adjektief. Die adjektief moet klasooreenstemming hê met die kernnaamwoord in 'n
naamwoordfrase. Die adjektiefstam kan voorkom met nominale suffikse soos ana en gadi,
dit kan geredupliseer word, oorgeplaas word na ander kategorieë en selfs samestellings
vorm. Die adjektieffrase kan ook voorkom in 'n predikatiewe posisie sowel as in
vergelykings.
Die relatief kan dieselfde semantiese eienskappe hê as die adjektief. Die relatief in
Setswana bestaan uit 'n bepaler in die posisie van die komplementeerder gevolg deur 'n
infleksiefrase. So 'n infleksiefrase kan 'n kopulatiewe of nie-kopulatiewe werkwoord bevat.
Die aandag in hierdie studie het gekonsentreer op die nominale relatief wat voorkom as 'n
komplement van 'n kopulatiewe werkwoord. Hierdie nominale relatiewe stamme is verdeel
in twee afdelings nl. 'n afdeling waarin die nominale relatiewe stamme nie kan voorkom in
'n deskriptiewe possessiewe konstruksie en 'n tweede afdeling waar hierdie stamme ook
kan voorkom as 'n komplement van die possessiewe [a]. Die semantiese kenmerke van
hierdie nominale relatiewe stamme is geïsoleer en dit is duidelik dat hulle 'n wye
verskeidenheid van semantiese kenmerke het. Hierdie tipe relatief verteenwoordig In baie
wye keuse t.o.v. die attribute van naamwoorde.
Die derde kategorie wat die semantiese kenmerk van 'n attribuut van 'n naamwoord
vertoon, is die deskriptiewe possessiewe konstruksie. Die sintaktiese en semantiese
struktuur van hierdie tipe frase is nagegaan. 'n Groot verskeidenheid komplemente van die
possessiewe [a] is geïsoleer in Setswana en sommige semantiese kenmerke het
spesifieke aandag gekry nl. groepnaamwoorde en partitiiewe.
