The Structure of Maithili Verb Morphology

Yogendra P. Yadav, Royal Nepal Academy, Kathmandu

The author provides a detailed description of the rich agreement morphology found in Maithili. In Maithili, the verb may agree with more than one argument at a time. Further it may also agree with non-arguments such as possessors of arguments. All the various possibilities are explored and a very complete, hitherto unavailable, picture of Maithili agreement appears.
