The Morphosyntax of Mood in Early Grammar with Special Reference to Swahili

The Form and Interpretation of Finite and non-Finite Verbs in Swahili

A great deal is known about the distribution of finite and non-finite forms in early language and increasingly, studies are investigating the semantic properties of these different forms. An important question for acquisition theory concerns the relationship between the child's developing morphosyntax and the semantics typically expressed by these structures. In this paper we will explore the f...

Applying Finite-State Methods to the Swahili Language

Herein, we explore the current finite-state methods that exist for analyzing English grammar and decide whether they can be applied to the Swahili language and Swahili syntactic patterns. Further, we to explore the differences between Swahili grammar and English grammar to see if it is possible to accommodate these finite-state methods to the Swahili language. In the end, the objective is to de...

Swahili Inflectional Morphology for the Grammatical Framework

Grammatical Framework is a grammar formalism based on type theory and implemented in Haskell, that utilizes the interlingua approach to multilingual translation. Multilingualism is achieved by defining resource grammar libraries for each individual language within the framework. Here, we present the definition of the inflectional morphology grammars for Swahili, as part of the Swahili resource ...
