Valency Classification of Mapudungun Verbal Roots. Established by the language's own morphotactics

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2604.00789v2 Announce Type: new In the previous work, a lexical (re)categorisation -- or confirmation of the given category -- of roots identified as verbal was undertaken to determine their original category accurately. Building on this, the present paper offers an account of the valency classification of those Mapudungun roots confirmed to be verbal, using the language's own morphotactics; specifically, by examining the permissible and restricted combinations of various suffixes with roots or verbal stems in the Mapuche verb form.
