Tracking down (and making sense of) the associated motion component in the Datooga lexicon
Description
All varieties of Datooga robustly exhibit morphology expressing associated motion (c.f. gwásàgda 'he pours it away', gwásàgàara 'he spilled it while moving thither', and gwásàgàani 'he spilled it while moving hither'). This talk examines the gramaticalised category present in the last two examples above (i.e. -aà-), its morphological status (including restrictions on lexical applicability, as well as semantic specializations), its locus of assignment, and the temporal relation of associated motion to the core event.
Notes
Note: This talk has not gone through a process of peer review, and findings should therefore be treated as preliminary and subject to change. Acknowledgement and citation: Kießling, Roland. 2019.
