Focal aspects in the Lelemi verb sy Focal aspects in the Lelemi verb system

The verb system of Lelemi, a Ghana-Togo-Mountain language spoken in the Volta Region of Ghana, has two TAM paradigms which use different sets of subject prefixes and interact with the pragmatic category of focus. While one paradigm can be regarded as default model as it is used in most syntactic environments, the other paradigm is much more restricted, occurring among others in part of the relative clauses as well as in subject and sentence focus constructions. Involved in the restricted paradigm is the morpheme na for which a grammaticalization path from a (borrowed) conjunction towards a Perfective prefix is suggested.
Le système verbale du Lelemi, d’une langue faisant partie de la groupe Ghana-Togo-Mountain parlée dans la région Volta du Ghana, dispose de deux paradigmes TAM caractérisés par l’utilisation de différents sets de préfix du sujet et interagissant avec la catégorie pragmatique du focus. Tandis que un paradigme peut être regardé comme modèle utilisé par défaut parce qu’il apparaît dans presque tous les environnements syntaxiques, l’autre est plus restreint en appartenant que dans une partie des énoncés relatives et dans des constructions focaux avec le sujet respective l’énoncé se trouvant en focus. Inclût dans le paradigme plus restreint est le morphème na pour lequel un chemin de grammaticalisation d’une conjonction (empruntée) à une préfix du perfective est proposé.
