Mawng’s gender system has a strong semantic basis and plays an important role in the construction of meaning in discourse. Gender agreement in verbs is frequently lexicalized, creating idioms called lexicalised agreement verbs that are structurally similar to noun-verb idioms. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in nominal classification or cross-linguistic approaches to idioms.Pacific linguistics ;Volume 642.Maung languageGrammatical categoriesMaung languageGenderMaung languageNominalsElectronic books.Maung languageGrammatical categories.Maung languageGender.Maung languageNominals.499/.15Singer Ruth(Linguist),1044480MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464450503321The dynamics of nominal classification2470167UNINA
