Beschreibung
The book sets to present a descriptive and theoretical analysis of negation, remnant movement and clause structure in Awing, a Grassfield Bantu language of the Ngemba familyspoken in the North West region of Cameroon. The unmarked word order of Awing is SVO. The expression of negation in Awing requires the use of both lexical and functional categories. Negation elements can appear in different syntactic domains. Of relevance in this book is the negation expression that appears in the inflectional domain ofAwing. This is kepô, a discontinuous marker that follows the subject marker and the tense marker and must precede every other functional element in the language. The structural position of the element is fixed in Awing. The behavior of negative marker kepô in the computational processes, in particular, movement operations remains intriguing. Here, a derived word order, SOV, from the unmarked SVO is obtained via movement
