Non-Subject Agreement Elements in Amharic Relative Clause

The book "Non-Subject Agreement Elements in Amharic Relative Clause" by Desalegn Hagos offers a comprehensive analysis of non-subject agreement elements in the Amharic language. It investigates how these elements appear in transitive, intransitive, and passive verbs, and what role they play in relative clauses. The research shows that non-subject agreement elements, referred to as AgrO, mark both direct objects and direct cognate objects. Furthermore, the function of Agrpp, which consists of semantic role assigners and object markers, is highlighted. These object markers are crucial for the identification of indirect and oblique objects and demonstrate agreement. The book is based on the Minimalist Program and provides insights into the derivation of applicatives, objects, and relative clauses to explain semantic role and grammatical case assignment in the Amharic language. It is aimed at linguists interested in the morphosyntax of Amharic.
