This article investigates the derivational processes involving nouns in Shinyiha. It focuses on two main issues: derivation by attaching an affix that changes meaning and a word category (for example, from verb to noun), and derivation by prefixing a stem which has its inherent class prefix. The study also identifies the use of associative phrases to express meanings which could be expressed by derived nouns. It reveals that noun derivation in Shinyiha is a complex phenomenon which involves both simple and complex verbs. It is affected by adding either a prefix, a prefix plus a nominalising suffix or a prefix plus verb extension suffixes. It is noted that the final vowels attached to deverbatives are not default vowels; they contribute to the meaning of the derived noun. The study reveals that one nominalising suffix may induce multiple meanings, depending on the nature of the verb root. The same meaning may be expressed by different suffixes. In addition, associative constructions can occur with infinitives to express agentiveness to compensate for nouns that cannot be derived in a regular way.

Shinyiha名词衍生

本文研究了Shinyiha中涉及名词的推导过程。它着重于两个主要问题:通过附加改变词义和单词类别(例如,从动词到名词)的词缀来进行派生,以及通过对具有固有类前缀的词干进行前缀来进行派生。该研究还确定了使用关联短语来表达可以由衍生名词表达的含义。这表明,新义叶中的名词衍生是一个复杂的现象,涉及简单动词和复杂动词。它受添加前缀,前缀加上名词性后缀或前缀加上动词扩展后缀的影响。需要注意的是,附加在副词上的最后元音不是默认的元音。它们有助于衍生名词的含义。研究表明,一个名词化后缀可能会引起多种含义,取决于动词词根的性质。相同的含义可以由不同的后缀表示。另外,可以用不定式来表达关联性,以表达实体性,以补偿不能以常规方式导出的名词。
