| Summary: | In the present paper I would like to give a tentative and condensed overview of the verbal categories of the dialects of Shigatse (Central Tibet)2 and Themchen (Amdo)3.
Both dialects possess three verbal categories, namely control, volitionality and evidentiality.4 Control is lexicalised in the stem of the verb. Volitionality and evidentiality are normally expressed through certain auxiliary verbs and morphemes or combinations thereof. |
