The syntax of Chichewa

Mchombo, Sam A. 1948- (Author).

Summary: This clearly organised and accessible new book provides a comprehensive description of the major syntactic structures of Chichewa. Assuming no prior knowledge of current theory, it covers topics such as relative clause and question formation, interactions between tone and syntactic structure, and aspects of clause structure such as complementation.
