Details and Notes]]
Valency
In linguistics, verb valency or valence refers to the number of arguments controlled by a verbal predicate.
There are several types of valency:
- impersonal (avalent, 0v) No determinate subject. "it rains," "it is raining"
- intransitive (monovalent, 1v) A determine subject. "he sleeps"
- transitive (divalent, 2v) A determine subject and a direct object. "he kicks the ball"
- ditransitive (trivalent, 3v) A determine subject, a direct object and an indirect object. "he gave her a flower"
- polytransitive A determinate subject, a direct object, and any number of direct objects. "I bet him a dollar on a horse at the racetrack."
Hilinqwo elements can have any number of arguments. The classes of the Valency group indicate the valency of the element.
Valency indicators:
First -s (-os, -is, -as) Subject.
Second -m (-om, -im, -am) Direct object.
Additional -n (-on, -in, -an) Indirect object(s),
For elements that have four or more arguments, use positional suffixes to distinguish between indirect objects
