Wolfenden's non-pronominal a-prefix in Tibeto-Burman: two arguments from Southern Chin and some proposed semantic correlates
description The intent of this paper is to take a new look at a classical problem in comparative Tibeto-Burman linguistics. The purposes are both descriptive and historicals descriptive in the first instance, because the evidence from glen Chin suggests very forcefully how we should treat a certain kind of a-prefix on nouns and derived nominal in a synchronic grammars historical, because it is possible to suggest from the descriptive treatment in Southern Chin and from some comparative evidence a recon¬struction in Tibeto-Burman of a particular grammatical process that has come down to several modern T-b languages. including some that seem,on Wolfenden's theory of nominal prefixes not to have the non-pronominal one. I think this double problem or purpose is proper for a paper in the tradition of synoptic Tibeto-Burman linguistics.
