Tedim verb person marking
Abstract
Subject indexation in Tedim can occur via preverbal person markers or postverbal person markers or can be left out entirely. The preverbal marking corresponds to the “narrative” style that generally represents a more formal register and is used in writing and oratory speech. The postverbal marking corresponds to the “colloquial” style that generally represents an informal register that is used in everyday speech. Speech act participant objects are indicated with preverbal oŋ.
