Abstract This paper offers a descriptive analysis of the morphology of transitive verbs in Shilluk. Shilluk is a language in which stem-internal changes, many of them suprasegmental in nature, play an important role in the morphology, alongside affixal markers. In particular, tone, vowel length, Advanced Tongue Root (ATR), vowel height, and the stem-final consonant are involved in the morphological marking of a range inflections, expressing tense-aspect-modality, valency changes, agreement, and focus. The paper lays out the inflectional marking of these operations, for each of seven classes that can be distinguished among transitive verbs. In this way, the study extends our understanding of stem-internal morphology and its development in West Nilotic languages.

Shilluk及物动词的形态

摘要本文对Shilluk中及物动词的形态进行了描述性分析。希卢克（Shilluk）是一种语言，在这种语言中，词干内部的变化以及附加的标记在形态上都起着重要的作用，其中许多本质上是超节段性的。尤其是，语调，元音长度，高级舌根（ATR），元音高度和主干辅音都参与了范围变化的形态标记，表达了时态，情态变化，价调，一致和集中。本文针对可及物动词区分的七个类别中的每一个，列出了这些操作的变形标记。这样，该研究扩展了我们对词干内部形态及其在西尼罗河语言中的发展的理解。
