Isi artikel

In about forty Cherokee verbs, the stem contains a morpheme indicating some quality of the verb's patient. There are five classes of patients: LIVING, FLEXIBLE, LONG, LIQUID, and COMPACT. A set of five morphemes is associated with each classificatory verb. There are several such sets. One set is used in verbs of dropping or falling; another appears in verbs associated with containers, e.g., 'put in', 'take out', and 'hide'. I discuss six morpheme sets, relating them to Mithun's (1984) theory of noun incorporation.
