چکیده
1. Most Latin verbs in -înâre/-înârî are transparently denominative, based on adjectives in -înus: e.g. supînâre [Virg.+] ‘throw onto the back’ (cf. supînus [Plt.+] ‘lying on the back’), or peregrînârî [Cic.+] ‘sojourn abroad’ (cf. peregrînus [Plt.+] ‘foreign’). The pattern is disrupted only slightly in a case like coquînâre/coquÈnâre [Plt.] ‘be a cook’ (cf. coquînus ‘pertaining to cooking’, coquîna ‘kitchen; cookery’ [Plt.+]), where the short-vowel variant is almost certainly generated secondarily via iambic shortening (Petersmann 1977:208, citing the *cocînâre of Romance [Span. cocinar etc.] in support of the basic -î-). But apart from isolated forms that may have special explanations,1 there is a second class of Latin verbs in -înâre/înârî that is generally thought to reflect a quite different sort of denominative origin, the best-known exemplar of which is festînâre ‘hurry’.

متن کاملLexical Semantics and Selection of TAM in Bantu Languages: A Case of Semantic Classification of Kiswahili Verbs
The existing literature on Bantu verbal semantics demonstrated that inherent semantic content of verbs pairs directly with the selection of tense, aspect and modality formatives in Bantu languages like Chasu, Lucazi, Lusamia, and Shiyeyi. Thus, the gist of this paper is the articulation of semantic classification of verbs in Kiswahili based on the selection of TAM types. This is because the sem...
