    "title": "The First Person Singular Subject Negative Portmanteau in Luganda and Lusoga",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "A number of studies have provided analyses of Swahili \nsi-\n, a portmanteau morpheme that conflates and replaces the first person singular subject and negative prefixes. In this short paper I present the corresponding facts from Luganda and Lusoga, two closely related Bantu languages spoken in Uganda. While the Luganda portmanteau \nsi-\n bears a clear resemblance to Swahili \nsi-\n, three analyses are considered for corresponding \nti-\n in Lusoga. Although \nti- \nlooks like the main clause negative prefix occurring without a first singular subject, i.e. \nti-Ø-\n, I argue that, despite differences, it has to treated in the same portmanteau terms as the other cases. Interestingly, while Luganda \nsi-\n replaces the otherwise expected \nti-n-\n and \nn-ta-\n sequences in main vs. relative clauses, respectively, Lusoga \nti-\n only replaces the former.",
