Walters. 330 $aIn A Grammar of Dazaga , Josiah Walters provides the first detailed description and analysis of Dazaga (a Saharan language) in the past half-century. Based on a review of previous work on Dazaga, and with his own more recent data, the author describes the phonology, morphology, and syntax of Dazaga. He provides a new analysis of the categorization of verbs in to classes, demonstrating the prominence of light verb constructions in Dazaga. His analysis of the syntax brings to light several striking features of Dazaga, including optional ergative case marking, mixed alignment of objects, a variety of causative constructions, and verb serialization. Throughout the work, the author relates his findings to work on related languages and to recent typological studies. 410 0$aGrammars and Sketches of the World's Languages$v3. 606 $aDazaga language$xGrammar 615 0$aDazaga language$xGrammar. 676 $a495.5 700 $aWalters$b Josiah K$01633292 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967216403321 996 $aA grammar of Dazaga$93972965 997 $aUNINA
