{"pk":35144,"title":"Issues of Lexicon in South-Central Tibeto-Burman (Kuki-Chin)","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This paper examines how the lexicon is organized in a typical South Central language. Items like nouns, verbs, and adverbial expressions belong to open classes; pronominals, demonstratives, numerals, quantifiers, interjections, onomatopoetic words, and case markers form closed classes. Directionals, tense/aspect markers, valence-changing elements, verbal classifiers, elaborate expressions, and reduplicative patterns are treated as bound elements.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Kuki-Chin, South Central, Tibeto-Burman, Trans-Himalayan, lexicon, word classes, noun, verb, pronoun, demonstrative, verbal classifier, applicative, causative"}],"section":"Articles of Special Issue 22.1","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9n88m4gr","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Kenneth","middle_name":"","last_name":"Van Bik","name_suffix":"","institution":"California State University, Fullerton","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2021-06-19T18:05:53Z","date_accepted":"2021-06-19T18:05:53Z","date_published":"2023-07-31T07:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/himalayanlinguistics/article/35144/galley/26170/download/"}]}
