dc.description.abstract |
In hierdie studie word die opvatting dat die
'onvoltooidheids-a' in Noord-Sotho 'n tydsmorfeem
is, in heroorweging geneem. Bestaande opvattings
oor hierdie morfeem en die sogenaamde lang en kort
vorme van die werkwoord, word krities ondersoek,
Daar word bevind dat die toelaatbaarheid van -a-
in die werkwoord nou saamhang met die semantiese
verbondenheid tussen sinskomponente, wat weer direk
verband hou met die diskoerskonteks waarin sinne
voorkom. Daar word voorgestel dat -a- as 'n rnerker
van afgerondc kommunikatiewe eenhede beskou behoort
te word. Hiervolgens word inligting, wat op die
lang vorm van die werkwoord volg, uit die basiese
inligtingseenheid uitgeskuif op grond van die felt
dat dit oortollige inligting in die diskoerskonteks
konstitueer. Hierteenoor word inligting wat op die
kort vorm van die werkwoord volg as nuwe inligting
aangebied wat in 'n onlosmaaklike semantiese
verband tot die werkwoord staan. |

dc.description.abstract |
In this study the concept of the 'imperfect
tense-a' as a tense morpheme in Northern Sotho,
is reconsidered. Existing views on this morpheme
and the so-called long and short forms of the
verb are discussed critically. It is concluded
that the acceptability of -a- in the verb is
closely linked to the semantic cohesion between
components in a sentence. This in turn is
directly related to the context of discourse in
which sentences occur. The proposal is made
that -a- should be regarded as a marker of
complete communicative units. Accordingly,
information which follows the long form of the
verb 1 s excluded from the basic communicative
unit on the grounds that it constitutes
redundant information in the context of discourse.
On the other hand, information following the short
form of the verb, is presented as new information
and as such assumes an indissoluble semantic
relationship with the verb. |
