A note on volitional and non-volitional prefixes in Gyalrong languages
This paper addresses
Prins’ (2016) recent proposal of a
m(ə)‑ non-volitional prefix
in the Kyomkyo dialect of Situ, showing that alternative analyses are preferable. In addition, it offers an account of some irregular
anticausative forms in Situ, and presents evidence for a possible volitional
mə‑ prefix in Gyalrong languages.
