Applicatives In Their Structural And Thematic Function: A Minimalist Account Of Multitransitivity

ing away from the semantics of the Kinyarwanda locative applicative, which corresponds to high applicative rather than low applicative semantics, if McGinnis’ point is correct, one wonders how the position of -ho in (21) could be derived from a low applicative head position. As is well known, the Kinyarwanda locative clitics are phonologically reduced forms of the corresponding prepositions (Kimenyi 1980, Baker 1988, Zeller and Ngoboka 2006) (23). This has motivated the preposition incorporation analysis of Kinyarwanda applicatives in Baker (1988) and Zeller and Ngoboka (2006).
