Object marking and morphosyntactic variation in Bantu

Along the way I will point out tendencies in applicative system variation where possible on the basis of available descriptions (the tendency for beneficiary/recipient applicative constructions to be obligatory for ...

Its findings are drawn from the 1.9-billion-word Corpus of Global Web-based English, with predictions relevant to patterns identified in the twenty English varieties ...
