Rank and category shifting in Southern Sotho, with special reference to conjunctions and adverbs

M.A. (African Languages) / Rank and category shifting are two language-dynamic processes of syntactic origin, wherein form words or word groups are used outside their usual and original syntactic functions and gradually shift their ranks as well as categories. This shifting leads to the development of new word forms with their own characteristics different from the original ones.
