Abstract

Abstract This paper describes the gender system of the Ubangi language Mba, which can be characterized by the co-existence of two different classification systems. The ‘formal agreement’ system is tightly bound with the nominal deriflection system, while the ‘semantic agreement’ system, by contrast, emanates from a tripartite distinction in the language made between masculine humans, other animates, and inanimates. Whereas formal agreement is manifested on different elements that modify the head noun, the semantic agreement system operates in the pronominal domain, mostly outside the noun phrase.
Mba的两种并行性别体系
摘要本文描述了乌班吉语Mba的性别体系,其特征是两种不同的分类体系并存。“形式一致”系统与名义派生系统紧密相连,而“语义一致”系统则相反,源于语言中男性、其他有生命的人和无生命的人之间的三方区别。形式上的一致表现在修饰主名词的不同元素上,而语义上的一致则主要发生在代词领域,大多在名词短语之外。
