Authors/Creators

  • 1. University of California at Berkeley

Description

This chapter critically examines the divergent hypotheses about the Proto-Bantu
(PB) object marking system proposed by Meeussen (1967) and Polak (1986). It then
builds on their insights with additional data and details of analysis and develops a
new reconstruction of PB object marking, including its place in a larger system of
topicality marking also involving the subject marker.
