Kjaxono language: Difference between revisions

Line 200:

Kjaxono is a decisively agglutinative language, with plentiful fusional and polysynthetic characteristics. Kjaxono, along with other languages of the [...] language family comprise the only example of languages with a morphosyntactic alignment of ''transitive-intransitive'' - with the agent of an intransitive verb being inflected for an intransitive case. This feature is one of the most notorious features of Kjaxono. Otherwise, Kjaxono nouns rather simply decline for only '''2 cases''' - ''transitive'' and ''intransitive,'' as previously stated. In addition, while not explicitely inflected, Kjaxono nouns also have '''2 numbers''' - ''singular'' and ''plural.'' Kjaxano features no grammatical gender and no adjectival agreement of any form.

In contrast, verbs are by far the most inflecting part of speech in Kjaxono. In some cases, they can represent entire sentences by themselves. Kjaxono verbs are often the epicenter of linguistic research into the language, and verbs in the [~~...~~] language family as a whole are generally one of their most known attributes in linguistics as a whole. For a overview, see '''[[Kjaxono language#Verbal system|§6 Verbal System]]''' and [[Kjaxono verbs]].

Verbs are the most complex part of speech in Kjaxono. It is by far the most difficult aspect of Kjaxono for new speakers of the language to learn, due its system-wide irregularity and general difficulty. Oftentimes, conjugation can encode all of the information needed to parse a sentence.

The verbal system of Kjaxono comprises two main paradigms, which differ based on the transivity and volition of the verb in question. The two paradigms are traditionally called the ''Objective paradigm'' (for transitive verbs, and verbs with positive volition - i.e meaning the action was intended) and the ''Nonobjective paradigm'' (for intransitive verbs, and verbs with negative volition - i.e meaning the action was not intended). Kjaxono verbs rely on agglutinative affixes and ~~stem~~ apophony in both paradigms.
