M.A. / The term locative refers to all words that have a locative meaning. They include locative nouns, i.e. nouns that belong to classes 16, 17 and 18. Locatively derived nouns, i.e. nouns to which the locative prefix and/or suffix or variants thereof have been added to convey a locative meaning, are also included. Word groups and certain nouns can also obtain a locative meaning by the addition of the locative particle or locative possessive particle. Various theories on the origin of the locative prefix, suffix and class prefixes are discussed. The word status of locatives is investigated, leading to the conclusion that locatives belong to the word class "noun". A morphological description of locative nouns as well as of the norm and variants of the locative prefix and suffix used with locatively derived nouns is provided. The morphological features of the locative particle and the locative possessive particle are discussed. As a result of the combination of locative morphemes with nouns in the derivation of locatives or particles that occur with word groups, certain sound changes occur. These changes can be organized logically and in detail by using phonological rules. In European languages the meaning of locatives is conveyed by adverbs and prepositions. The basic semantic feature of locatives is the feature [+ locality]. In certain instances it also has the feature of reference to an object. Locatives have a wide variety of possible syntactical uses, including the following: subject valence, object valence, descriptive (or adverbial) valence, complementary valence, qualificative and antecedental valence. Pronouns derived from the locative noun classes can serve as auxiliary verbs and conjunctions. In certain syntactical contexts the locative prefix can be omitted from locatively derived nouns

Study to present a lexical-semantics analysis of two verbs in Xhosa. / Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2004. / Study to present a lexical-semantics analysis of two verbs in Xhosa. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to present a lexical-semantics analyis of the verbs -phambuka
and -jika in Xhosa.
Chapter 1 presents an overview of the study as a whole, including reference to the aims of
the research, the Theoretical Framework assumed and the organisation of the study.
In Chapter 2, the Generative theory of the lexicon is reviewed. The multiple levels of
representation of the different kinds of lexical information are discussed, including
Argument structure, Event structure, Qualia structure and also the Lexical Inheritance
structure.
Chapter 3 presents a discussion of the polysemy of the verbs with reference to
-phambuka. The polysemous behaviour of the verb -phambuka is examined with
reference to sentence alternation constructions illustrating how the properties of the event
structure of the verb changes in the alternations.
Chapter 4 examines the polysemy of the verb -jika. The polysemous behaviour of the verb
-jika is examined with reference to sentence alternation constructions that demonstrate
the properties of the event structure of this verb in the respective alternations with
AgentlTheme subject in contrast to Location-subject constructions.
Chapter 5 presents a summary of the main findings and the conclusion of the study. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doelstelling van hierdie studie is om 'n leksikaal-semantiese analise te doen van die
bewegingswerkwoorde -phambuka ('afdraai') en -jika ('draai') in Xhosa.
Hoofstuk 1 bied 'n oorsig van die studie as geheel, insluitende die stel van die doelstellings
van die studie, die teoretiese raamwerk wat aanvaar word, en die organisasie van die
studie.
In Hoofstuk 2, word die Generatiewe Leksikon Teorie behandel. Die veelvuldige vlakke
van representasie vir die tipes semantiese inligting benodig, word ondersoek. Hierdie
vlakke is naamlik die Argumentstruktuur, Gebeurtenisstruktuur ('Event structure'), Qualia

Uhlalutyo lwesemantiki yelekhisikhoni yezenzi zentshukumo u-za no-ya kwisiXhosaMankabane, Zola 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study deals with the lexical semantic analysis of motion verbs -za and -ya in Xhosa.
In Chapter 1 the aim of the study is stated vividly. The characteristics and properties about
the lexical semantic analysis of the verbs -za and -ya as well as the generative lexicon
theory by Pustojovsky (1996) are discussed. The theoretical framework and the
organisation of study are also discussed in this Chapter.
In Chapter 2 we address in more detail the type for semantics. A generative theory of the
lexicon includes multiple levels of representation for different types of lexical information
needed. Amongst the levels there are structures such as Arguments, Event, Oualia and
Inheritance structure. This structure of Oualia and the role they play in giving out the
functional behaviour of words and phrases in composition is represented in more detail.
Chapters 3 and 4 address the lexical semantic analysis of the verbs -za and -ya to
account for the variety of selectional properties of the noun phrase subject argument of the
verbs -za and -ya and the various interpretations that arises the terms of composition with
its polysemous behaviour of the verbs -za and -ya are examined in sentence alternation
constructions with respect to event structure characteristics. The lexical representation in
terms of argument structures and the event structure of the verbs -za and -ya in different
sentences and also explored. The different meanings of the lexicon in the different
sentences are also explored.
Chapter 5 is the conclusion, the critical analysis of the findings of all 4 Chapters in this
study on lexical semantic analysis of the motion verbs -za and -ya in the Xhosa language. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die leksikaal semantiese eienskappe van die
bewegingswerkwoorde -za en -ya in Xhosa.
In hoofstuk een word die doelstelling van die studie uiteengesit. Die teorie van
Generatiewe Leksikon van Pustejovsky word kortliks bepreek, wat die teoretiese
raamwerk is van die studie. Laastens word die organisasie van die studie bespreek in
hierdie hoofstuk.
In hoofstuk 2 bespreek ons in groter besonderhede die model van Generatiewe Leksikon
teorie. 'n Generatiewe teorie van die leksikon sluit in veelvuldige vlakke van representasie
vir die verskillande tipes leksikalle inligting wat benodig word. Tussen die vlakke daar is
strukture soos is Argumentstruktuur, Handeling struktuur, Qualia en die rol wat dit speel in
die verspreidig van die funksionele gedrag van woorde en frases in kombinasie, word ook
in meer besondere bespreek.
Hoofstuk 3 en 4 ondersoek die leksikaal semantiese analise van die werkwoorde -za en
-ya en die verskeidenheid interpretasies wat beskikbaar is vir -za en -ya in kombinasie
met die komplement argumente daarvan. Die polisemiese gedrag van die werkwoorde -
za en -ya word ondersoek in sinsalternasiekonstrukusies ten opsigte van die gebeurtenis
struktuur. Die leksikale representasie in terme van argument struktuur en die gebeurtenis
struktuur van die werkwoorde -za en -ya in verskillende sinne met verskillende
seleksiekenwerke van die subjek, word ook ondersoek. Die verskillende representasis van
-ya en -za leksikon vir verskillende sinne word ook ondersoek.
Hoofstuk 5 bied 'n samevatting van die studie, en gee die vernaamste bevindings van die
vorige hoofstukke van hierdie studie oor die leksikaal semantise analise van die
werkwoorde -za en -ya in Xhosa.

Uhlalutyo lwesemantiki yelekhisikoni yezenzi zentshukumo u-qengqeleka, -tshona, -jikeleza no -tyibilikaRoto, Gcobani Lucas 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study explores the lexical semantics of the motion verbs -qengqeleka, -tshona,
jikeleza and -tyibilika in Xhosa.
In Chapter 1 the aims of the study are stated. Properties about the lexical semantic
analysis of the verbs -qengqeleka, -tshona, -jikeleza and -tyibilika as well as the
generative lexicon theory posited by Pustejovsky (1996) are discussed. The theoretical
framework as it relates to the analyses and the organisation of study are also outlined in
this chapter.
Chapter 2 addresses in more detail the type system for semantics. The generative theory
of the lexicon postulated by Pustejovsky includes multiple levels of representation for
different types of lexical information needed. Among such levels are argument structure,
event structure, qualia structure and inheritance structure. Chapter 2 also represents in
more detail the qualia structure and the role they play in distributing the functional
behaviour of words and phrases in composition.
Chapter 3 examines the lexical semantics of the verbs -qengqeleka, -tshona, -jikeleza
and -tyibilika to account for the range of selectional properties of the NP subject
arguments of the verbs -qengqeleka, -tshona, -jikeleza and -tyibilika and the various
interpretations that arise in terms of composition with its complement arguments. The
polysemous behaviour of the verbs -qengqeleka, -tshona, -jikeleza and -tyibilika is
examined in sentence alternation construction with respect to event structure properties.
The lexical representation in terms of argument structure and event structure of the verbs
-qengqeleka, -tshona, -jikeleza and -tyibilika in different sentences is also investigated.
Chapter 4 is the conclusion of the study, and presents a summary of the findings of the
previous chapters on the lexical semantic analysis of the motion verbs -qengqeleka,
-tshona, -jikeleza and -tyibilika in Xhosa. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die leksikale semantiek van die bewegingswerkwoorde
-qengqeleka, -tshona, -jikeleza en -tyibilika in Xhosa.
In Hoofstuk 1 word die doelstellings van die studie uiteengesit. Eienskappe van die
leksikaal-semantiese analise van die werkwoorde -qengqeleka, -tshona, -jikeleza en
-tyibilika word bespreek. Die raamwerk van die Generatiewe Leksikon teorie, soos
gepostuleer deur Pustejovsky (1996) word ook bespreek. Die teoretiese raamwerk en
organisasie van die studie word ook in hierdie hoofstuk uit een gesit.
Hoofstuk 2 behandel in meer besonderhede die teorie van Generatiewe Leksikon, in die
besonder die semantiese tipe sisteem. Die Generatiewe teorie van die Leksikon soos
ontwikkel deur Pustejovsky bevat veelvuldige vlakke van representasie vir die verskillende
tipes leksikale inligting benodig. Hierdie vlakke sluit in: Argumentstruktuur,
Gebeurtenisstruktuur, Oualiastruktuur, en Leksikale erwingstruktuur. Hoofstuk 2 gee ook 'n
meer gedetaileerde oorsig van die Oualia struktuur en die rol wat dit speel in die
funksionele gedrag van woorde en frases in komposisie met mekaar.
Hoofstuk 3 ondersoek die leksikale semantiek van die werkwoorde -qengqeleka, -
tshona, -jikeleza en -tyibilika om 'n verklaring te gee vir die verskeidenheid
seleksiebeperkings van hierdie werkwoorde en die verskeidenheid interpretasies wat na
vore kom in terme van die komposisie van hierdie werkwoorde met hulle komplement
argumente. Die polisemiese gedrag van hierdie werkwoorde word verder ook ondersoek
met betrekking tot die gebeurtenisstruktuur ('event structure') eienskappe daarvan. Die
leksikale representasie in terme van argumentstruktuur en gebeurtenisstruktuur van die
werkwoorde -qengqeleka, -tshona, -jikeleza en -tyibilika in verskillende sinne word
ondersoek.
Hoofstuk 4 is die konklusie van die studie, en bied 'n opsomming van die hoofbevindinge
van die voorafgaande hoofstukke oor die leksikaal-semantiese analises van die
bewegingswerkwoorde -qengqeleka, -tshona, -jikeleza en -tyibilika. / ISISHWANKATHELO
