This study is a morphosyntactic analysis of mood in Dholuo. It examines the content of the Verb phrase (VP) and role of tone in Dholuo mood constructions. The study sets out to find out how Dholuo mood is expressed, the modal structure and how it is affected by feature checking under Chomsky's minimalist program (1995). The operations in the computational system are driven by morphological and lexical necessity. The study concludes that this theory accounts for the features present in the Dholuo mood system with modifications to cater for the feature checking of Dholuo mood in the creation of...
