The Syntax of indicator particles in Somali: relative clause construction.

Abstract

This article is meant to show the central role of Focus markers in the Somali syntax and how some syntactic constructions (such as relative clauses, subordinate clauses and noun modification), are crucially dependent on them._-_Maqaalku wuxuu isku dayayaa in uu muujiyo dawrka aasaasiga ee diiradeeyuhu uu ku leeyahay weeraynta af-soomaaliga iyo sida xeerarku ay u hagaan dhismaha weeraha qaarkood, sida weeraha faahfaahineed, w. dhiman iyo magac-faahfaahiyayaal, dhammaantoodu waxay aad ugu xiranyihiin diiradeeyaha._-_L'articolo intende mostrare il ruolo centrale degli indicatori di focus nella sintassi somala e come alcune costruzioni sintattiche,(frasi relative, frasi subordinate e modificazione nominale) siano strettamente dipendenti da essi.
