Class Marking in Emai: Retention, Reduction, and Transformation of Inflectional Resources

by Francis O Egbokhare, Ronald P Schaefer, Francis O. Egbokhare

Putting Emai and its noun class system into a broader cultural and archaeological context of historical language change, the authors explore what it means to be a Benue Congo language with a reduced inflectional system.
