| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this dissertation was to analyze Ekegusii morpho-syntactic verbal,
derivation .within the Minimalist Program. The study is divided into four chapters each
pursuing specific aims related to the study.
Chapter one provides the background to the study which comprises a description of the
language, statement of the problem, rationale of the study, the objectives and the
hypotheses, scope and limitation, the theoretical framework, literature review and the
methodology .
Chapter two exammes the general Ekegusii verb morpho-syntax, which is vital in
understanding verb derivation.
Chapter three analyses the Ekegusii verb derivation in regard to those which increase and
those which decrease the valency of a verb. The morphological markings for these
derivations are presented and checked within the minimalist framework.
Chapter four is an examination of the co-occurrence of valency adjusting operations
within the same verb.
Chapter five gives a summary of the study. It also outlines the findings and the
recommendations for further research. | en |
