More about the book
The comprehensive grammar of Jamsay, the most populous Dogon language in Mali, highlights its unique verb-final structure and intricate tonology. It features morphosyntactically triggered tone-contour overlays affecting nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Each stem possesses a distinct lexical tone contour, with specific rules for tone dropping in Perfective verbs and noun-adjective constructions. Additionally, relative clauses employ participial verbs that agree with the head noun in humanness and number, while intonation plays a grammatical role, notably in NP conjunctions.
