verb endings |
: Not every morphological representation of the clitic and verb-ending systems can realize any of the semantic features above. Tables 1-5, adapted from Castel (2012), list all the semantic features that clitics and verb endings necessarily or optionally express. : Thus, las may be said to expound the feature ‘high deixis’. Finally, as proposed by García (1975), verb endings tend to bear a greater thematic focus than clitics. In this case, -o is ‘thematic’, while te and -o are ‘non-thematic’[27]^4. |
