Being an agglutinative language, Lingala verb unit is a concatenation of many elements glued to the verb root, including subject, tense and aspect, polarity, etc. As a contribution to morphological valence changing, I have developed the N-Tier Structure (NTS) theory. It is an \"all-in-one\" tree structure with distinct layers displaying syntactic, morphological, lexical and sometimes phonological information of sentences before and after the valence alteration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47598608089239,"sku":"9781291236170","price":1131.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781291236170.webp?v=1775001368","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/morphosyntax-of-the-verb-in-lingala-a-generative-approach-9781291236170","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
