Verb and adjective agreement morphology Sample Clauses

Verb and adjective agreement morphology. ‌ Like other Bantu languages, Tshiluba has a noun class system. Noun classes appear as prefixes on nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Attributive adjectives take a concord prefix that reflects the noun class of the modified noun, as shown in (5) where the attributive adjective kesa ‘small’ takes the class 2 prefix ba- in concord with the modified class 2 noun bâːna ‘children.’ Predicate adjectives and verbs take an agreement prefix that reflects the noun class of their subject.10 In (5), this means that the verb -akulala ‘fell asleep’ takes the class 2 prefix ba- in agreement with the class 2 subject bâːna ‘children.’ Similarly, in (6), this means that the predicate adjective -toka (clean) takes the class 2 prefix ba- in agreement with the class 2 subject bâːna ‘children.’ In the Bantuist grammatical tradition, noun classes are usually considered a form of grammatical gender, but they are also divided by number, so each noun class is either exclusively singular or exclusively plural (Xxxxxxxx 1991; Xxxxxxx 2007). I have given each gender (most made up of two noun classes: one singular, one plural) a letter. The number noun classes that correspond to each lettered gender are given in Appendix B.

  • Employees on Long Term Supply Assignments Employees completing long term supply assignments may only access sick leave and short term disability leave in the fiscal year in which the allocation was provided. Any remaining allocation may be used in subsequent long term supply assignments, provided these occur within the same fiscal year. Employees employed in a Long Term Supply Assignment which is less than the ordinary period of employment for the position shall have their sick leave and short term disability allocations pro-rated accordingly. Where the length of the long term supply assignment is not known in advance, a projected length must be determined at the start of the assignment in order for the appropriate allocation of sick leave/short term disability leave to occur. If a change is made to the length of the assignment, an adjustment will be made to the allocation and applied retroactively.
