Dear colleagues,
I would appreciate your advice on the following. In some of the Mande languages (West Africa) there are paradigms of contracted person markers with the verb 'to say', e.g. in Loko *bE gE 'you said' > bEE 'you said.' These may denote both the progressive and the completive aspect, both the present and the past. They form full paradigms for all six person/number slots. Are there any other examples of this kind in any other languages of the world, and if so, how are they treated in terms of morphology/syntax? Is there a specific name to identify a construction like this? The results of the discussion will be placed online here as a summary. Thank you in advance, Kirill Babaev Moscow |
