Transitivity in Saliba-Logea

Anna Margetts | Monash University

Valence and transitivity in Saliba-Logea can be described with reference to three structural levels, the root, the verb and the clause. Phenomena like clauses with both transitive and intransitive features, which are found across the Oceanic language group can be explained through different possible relationships between these levels.
