PERSESUAIAN DALAM BAHASA ACEH

2009, Bahasa dan Seni

The Acehnese language is a head marking type since the relationship of nouns and verbs are marked through agreement. The agreement forms an active-stative system because it occurs not only on transitive verbs but also on intransitive ones. This study deals with some deviations of the agreement in the language. The result of the study shows that all of the deviations can be adequately explained through semantic of verb, transitivity, nominal hierarchy, and complexity.
