Opis

This work presents an analysis of verb derivation in Ekegusii, a Kenyan bantu language. It specifically examines how verb derivation affects the number of valences that the derived verb takes. Further, it incorporates the Minimalist program which ensures that all valences are checked for their various features. The book therefore provides an introduction to the verb structure and derivation as well as the basic tenets of the minimalist program.
