| dc.description.abstract | This study is about five active verbal derivations in Kikibosho. These are the applicative, causative, passive, reciprocal and stative derivations. The study has shown that the applicative derivation in Kikibosho is not different from other Bantu languages. The applicative derivation is represented by the affix -i- and The two forms are complementary and are determined by vowel harmony. The causative derivation is represented by five allomorphs determined by the final root consonant. These are -ir/is-, -r-, -t- and -sh-. The passive derivation in Kikibosho is different from other Bantu languages since it is represented by the middle back vowel -o at the end of the verb. The reciprocal derivation is represented by the affix -an- as is the case for other Bantu languages too. The stative derivation is represented by the affix -ik- and -ek-as also observed in other Bantu languages. The study shows that syntactically the verb derivations have the effect of increasing, decreasing, reinterpreting or compounding case dames. The applicative and causative derivations are the derivations that add a case relation to the case flame. The stating, reciprocal and passive derivations represent case relation subtraction. The passive derivation represents a case of case reinterpretation. And case compounding is represented by the reciprocal derivation The study has shown that semantically the benefactive role, locative role, motive role and instrumentality roles are associated with applicative derivation. Causative derivation is associated with the agentivity role and causee role. Stative derivation expresses the state of being and potential role. Reciprocal derivation has both !he Interactive role and split interactive role and passive derivation has the effect of exchanging the position of the semantic agent and the semantic object. | en_US |
