Abstract Event number is an important grammatical category in Konso in addition to nominal number. Event number has two main values, singular and plural, which can be expressed by two distinct verbal morphological processes, punctual and pluractional. The interpretation of a sentence in terms of event number is arrived at through an intricate interplay of lexical meaning, the core meaning of the number marking morphology and the separate system of aspect. Each verb has its intrinsic values for event number associated with its systematic lexical distinctions in terms of event number. Event number includes both event internal and event external situations. The meaning of the markers of singular and plural event number has a primary and a secondary value. There are several situations in which the primary meaning is excluded and the secondary meaning is the only possible interpretation. The pluractional is fully productive while the punctual is not productive and has interesting structural morphological restrictions.

Konso(Cushitic,埃塞俄比亚)中的准时和准时的语义

摘要事件编号是Konso中重要的语法类别,除了标称编号以外。事件编号具有两个主要值,单数和复数,可以通过两种不同的言语形态过程(守时和通俗)来表达。根据事件编号对句子的解释是通过词汇含义,编号标记形态的核心含义以及不同的方面系统之间的复杂相互作用得出的。每个动词都有其事件编号的固有值,并具有根据事件编号的系统词汇区别。事件编号包括事件内部和事件外部情况。单数和复数事件编号的标记的含义具有主值和副值。在几种情况下,主要含义被排除在外,次要含义是唯一可能的解释。全效生产,而准时生产,具有有趣的结构形态学限制。
