Construções aplicativas de duplo objecto em Ciutee

Abstract

The aim of our research is to analyze applicative constructions with verbs that have two SN complements in Ciutee. To do this, we studied a corpus of sentences submitted to the judgment of informants, native speakers of this language. This dissertation consists of five chapters: Chapter I - Introduction - we present the scope of our study, the delimitation of our object of study, the hypotheses on which our research is based and, finally, we present aspects related to the language and the variant that will be taken into account in the analysis. Chapter II - Literature review - we highlight concepts related to grammatical functions, look at aspects related to objects in (mono)-transitive constructions and double object constructions and present properties of these objects in Bantu languages, as well as the factors that can influence them. Chapter Hl - Research Methodology - we characterize the individuals who provided their grammatical age judgments in relation to the sentences in our test, we present the procedures we used to compile and organize the corpus and we present the procedures we used to test the data.Chapter IV - Description and analysis of the data - comprises two parts: the first of which is linked to the description and analysis of the data and the second part is linked to the discussion of the results of the description.
