LNGS 412 — Semantics of a Ghanaian Language
Linguistics · University of Ghana
This course addresses the issue of how meaning is expressed in a Ghanaian language (e.g. Akan, Dagaare, Dagbani, Dangme Ewe, Ga, and Guren). It provides students with the knowledge of sense relations. Each of this set of courses concentrates on the semantics of aspect and aspectual constructions, including the relations between the semantics of the root and the semantics of the affix. Verb valency and semantic argument roles, the semantics of derived verbs, topicalization, focus and related phenomena may be considered.
