The Semantics of Verbal Plurality in Sumerian
Bálint TanosAI-generated Abstract
This paper delves into the semantics of verbal plurality in the Sumerian language, exploring how nouns function in terms of number and plurality within the context of Sumerian linguistics. It suggests that non-human nouns might not adhere to traditional singularity but instead operate under a general number category. The discussion also includes the intricate patterns of verb reduplication and their implications for meaning in Sumerian texts.
