Symposium 4: The Classification of Igbo Verbs
DATE: 26th and 27th NOVEMBER, 2012
Except for the well known tonological classifications into low, high and high-low tone verbs, the semantic classes of Igbo verbs have not been a major issue in Igbo linguistics. The only exception is Uwalaka's (1988) theses on a semantico-syntactic analyses of Igbo verbs. This has however remained a real exception, for not much has been done in this area since after her pioneering work. This year's symposium is therefore focused on a more thorough re-examination of the Igbo verb classes in line with the current state of research.
