| description | Fang is a bantu language. It contains 5 dialects and ntúmú is one of them. Fang ntúmú makes classification of his nouns. All nouns of the same class govern the same agreement, and the language allocates to them a prefixal mark: the nominal prefix. The nominal prefix brings information not only about the class of every noun, but also about number. Some works about the plural in fang ntumu show that this one is obtained by the arrangement of two prefixes: that of plural and that of singular. We shall show for our part that the plural is really obtained by a complex prefixal construction with tree elements: a consonant, a vowel and a nasal. So, his structure is CVN. This conception is innovative because the structure of nominal prefix in bantu languages is generally, Ø-, C-, V-, or CV-. This communication joins in the second axis of RJC, which defines the cotext as all linguistic units. |
