| description | This thesis is part of a collective effort to support the Hrusso Aka language in its struggle for survival and revival. At a critical juncture in the history of this endangered language, this thesis addresses the pressing need for a systematic study of its phonology and morphology, necessary to lay the sound, scientific foundation, required by the newly emerging culture of written literature. It is also part of a larger scientific endeavour, paving the way for a future reference grammar and providing primary data and coherent phonological analysis for a diachronic study.
As the title suggests, this work has two distinct parts. The first (Chapters 2-7) focusing on phonology, analyses the segmental structure of Hrusso Aka and, using the Featurally Underspecified Lexicon (FUL) model (Lahiri & Reetz 2010; Lahiri 2018), offers a detailed analysis of Hrusso Aka's sound system, explaining its "bewildering" complexity. In a chapter dedicated to tone, this thesis gives an account of the underlying tonal system and tone-stress interaction of the language. The second part (Chapters 8-9) deals with morphology, describing the word classes and word-building strategies of Hrusso Aka. |
