Dholuo Morphosyntactics in a Minimalist Program

Dholuo Morphosyntactics is a significant contribution towards the ongoing search for a theory of Universal Grammar.Dholuo is an African Language spoken in Kenya.This book presents a comprehensive analysis of Dholuo verb morphology in Chomsky's Minimalist Program.It explores the Verb system and the feature checking processes of the functions on the verb.Notably, the language does not mark tense; instead,the verbal system is based on aspectual distinction contrasted by syntactic tone.Extending Linguistics research to Non European Languages has led to new discoveries in theory gaps and enhanced theory formulation in responding to the dynamics of describing the languages of the world.It is a useful resource for Linguists and researchers in Nilotic Languages.
