ABSTRAK
Die doel van hierdie bydrae is om bestaande beskouinge oor lokatiefvorming in Bantoe te evalueer ten einde by 'n probleemstelling rakende veral die semantiek en sintaksis van lokatiewe in Noord-Sotho uit te kom. Ondersoek het getoon dat lokatiewe in Bantoe betreklik volledig ten opsigte van die morfologiese eienskappe daarvan beskryf is. Gevolglik sal hier, wat die morfologie van lokatiewe in Noord-Sotho betref, met enkele opmerkings volstaan word. In latere uitgawes sal dan gepoog word om lokativering in Noord-Sotho uitvoerig ten opsigte van die semantiese en sintaktiese eienskappe daarvan te beskryf.
ABSTRACT
The objective of this paper is to analyse current viewpoints towards the locative in Bantu mainly in respect of the semantic and syntactic features thereof. It will be shown that whilst locatives are satisfactorily described on the morphological level, many problems still seem to be unsolved as far as the semantics and syntax are concerned. Although no final conclusions are arrived at it is hoped that this paper will constitute a basis for further discussion of the semantics and syntax of locatives in Northern-Sotho in forthcoming editions.
