As with other Bantu languages, however, Shona has SOV characteristics reflected in its morphology. This is not surprising since morphology often reflects earlier word order patterns and Proto-Bantu has been reconstructed as SOV (Givón 1975). This paper focusses on Shona verbal morphology, particularly on the serialization of [valence] [aspect] [tense].enLinguisticsMorphologyGrammar, Comparative and general--VerbShonaDependency grammarBantu languagesGrammar, Comparative and general--AspectGrammar, Comparative and general--Tensejournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.11575/PRISM/28897
