This paper investigates the different encoding strategies used for the expression of property concepts in Vai. Following Stassen (1997), it is shown that, viewed cross-linguistically, Vai represents an extreme case in that it makes use of four different encoding strategies (two non-verbal and two verbal ones). The multiple split of the property concept words in Vai is examined by drawing on the semantic types of Dixon (1977; 2004) as well as Givón’s (1984) Time Stability Scale. Moreover, the two verbal strategies, that is, the factative and the stative construction, are discussed from a Central Mande perspective.
