A STUDY OF SHORT POSSESSIVE SUFFIXES IN SOMALI: PATTERNS AND USAGE

Abstract

Resumé Possessiva suffix på somaliska har två olika former: en kort form och en lång form. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka och analysera mönster och användning av korta possessiva suffix. Metoden i studien är en undersökning av specifika substantiv genom korpussökningar för att analysera de korta possessiva suffixen på somaliska. För att identifiera de substantivkategorier som kan ta de korta possessiva suffixen, undersöker jag 40 substantiv uppdelade i 6 kategorier. Dessutom presenteras en typologisk och tvärspråklig översikt för att skapa en teoretisk grund och helhetsbild av en del av språk i världen som uppvisar liknande språkliga mönster. Resultaten och diskussionerna ger insikter i fördelningen och användningen av possessiva suffix med olika typer av substantiv, inklusive familjemedlemmar, kroppsdelar, vänner och kvantifierande substantiv. Studien stödjer tidigare forskningar, ifrågasätter dem vid vissa tillfällen och bidrar med nya fynd. Det öppnar också nya vägar för framtida forskning för att utforska olika mönster av possessivkonstruktion i somaliska språket. Dessutom visar studien att det somaliska språket har en possessiv klassificering baserad på så kallade alienability split som är en lingvistiska mönster som skiljer substantiv för släktingar och/eller kroppsdelar bland annat, från andra possessiva kategorier

Possessive suffixes in Somali have two forms: one short form and one long form. This study aims to investigate and analyze the patterns and usage of short possessive suffixes. The research uses a method approach involving the investigation of specific nouns through corpus searches to analyze short possessive suffixes in Somali. To identify the noun categories that can be suffixed with short possessive suffixes, the thesis examines 40 nouns divided into 6 sets. In addition, a typological and cross-linguistic overview is presented to create a theoretical basis and an overall picture of some other languages that exhibit similar linguistic patterns. The findings and discussions provide insights into the distribution and usage of possessive suffixes with different types of nouns, including family members, body parts, friends, and quantificational nouns. The study supports previous research, questions it at some points, and contributes new findings. Also, it opens new ways for future research to explore different patterns of possession construction in the language. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that the Somali language has a possessive classification based on alienability split.
