Genitive Morpheme and Cliticisation Tests in Kurdish Language

Key Points

• The study identifies tests that confirm the cliticisation of the genitive morpheme in Kurdish language, enhancing linguistic understanding.
• Using Zwicky and Pullum’s criteria, the research explores if the genitive morpheme acts as a clitic or an affix, leading to new insights.
• The analysis focuses on distinguishing cliticisation from non-cliticisation in the Kurdish language, providing a framework for future studies.
• The findings may influence linguistic theories concerning morphological structures in Kurdish and similar languages.
