23-632: The name "Yalobusha" comes from the Choctaw word yalooboshi , meaning "little tadpole", from yalooba , "tadpole", and -ushi , " diminutive ". The United States Board on Geographic Names settled on the river's name in 1892. According to the Geographic Names Information System , it has also been known as "Yallabusha" and as the "Yellowbushy River." The Yalobusha River rises in Chickasaw County , northwest of

46-534: A direct object plus a prepositional phrase may be called pseudo-ditransitive , as in the Lakhota sentence Haŋpíkčeka kiŋ lená wé-čage ("I made those moccasins for him"). Such constructions are sometimes called complex transitive . The category of complex transitives includes not only prepositional phrases but also dependent clauses , appositives , and other structures. There is some controversy regarding complex transitives and tritransitives; linguists disagree on

69-573: A few speakers live in Texas and California . Choctaw verbs display a wide range of inflectional and derivational morphology. In Choctaw, the category of verb may also include words that would be categorized as adjectives or quantifiers in English. Verbs may be preceded by up to three prefixes and followed by as many as five suffixes. In addition, verb roots may contain infixes that convey aspectual information. The verbal prefixes convey information about

92-479: A prepositional phrase that expresses a meaning similar to that usually expressed by an object may be called pseudo-transitive . For example, the Indonesian sentences Dia masuk sekolah ("He attended school") and Dia masuk ke sekolah ("He went into the school") have the same verb ( masuk "enter"), but the first sentence has a direct object while the second has a prepositional phrase in its place. A clause with

115-526: Is a verb that entails one or more transitive objects , for example, 'enjoys' in Amadeus enjoys music . This contrasts with intransitive verbs , which do not entail transitive objects, for example, 'arose' in Beatrice arose . Transitivity is traditionally thought of as a global property of a clause, by which activity is transferred from an agent to a patient . Transitive verbs can be classified by

138-477: Is a grammatical rather than a lexical property, since the same verb very often appears with different transitivity in different contexts. Consider: In grammatical construction theories, transitivity is considered as an element of grammatical construction , rather than an inherent part of verbs. The following sentences exemplify transitive verbs in English. In some languages, morphological features separate verbs based on their transitivity , which suggests this

161-462: Is a salient linguistic feature. For example, in Japanese : 授業 Jugyō が ga 始まる 。 hajimaru . 授業 が 始まる 。 Jugyō ga hajimaru . The class starts. 先生 Sensei が ga 授業 jugyō を o 始める 。 hajimeru . 先生 が 授業 を 始める 。 Sensei ga jugyō o hajimeru . The teacher starts the class. However, the definition of transitive verbs as those with one object

184-496: Is generally referred to as active–stative and polypersonal agreement . Class I affixes always indicate the subject of the verb. Class II prefixes usually indicate direct object of active verbs and the subject of stative verbs. Class III prefixes indicate the indirect object of active verbs. A small set of stative psychological verbs have class III subjects; an even smaller set of stative verbs dealing primarily with affect, communication and intimacy have class III direct objects. As

207-403: Is not universal, and is not used in grammars of many languages. Hungarian is sometimes misunderstood to have transitive and intransitive conjugation for all verbs, but there is really only one general conjugation. In present and future, there is a lesser used variant – a definite, or say emphatic conjugation form. It is used only when referring to a previous sentence, or topic, where the object

230-438: Is the first-person singular class I agreement marker /-li/. Third-person is completely unmarked for class I and class II agreement arguments and never indicates number. Some authors (Ulrich 1986, Davies, 1986) refer to class I as actor or nominative, class II as patient or accusative and class III as dative. Broadwell prefers the neutral numbered labels because the actual use of the affixes is more complex. This type of morphology

253-722: The Choctaw , an Indigenous people of the Southeastern Woodlands , US, is a member of the Muskogean language family . Chickasaw is a separate but closely related language to Choctaw. The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma published the New Choctaw dictionary in 2016. There are three dialects of Choctaw (Mithun 1999): Other speakers live near Tallahassee , Florida , and with the Koasati in Louisiana , and also

276-558: The stoics and from the Peripatetic school , but they probably referred to the whole phrase containing the transitive verb, not just to the verb. The advancements of the stoics were later developed by the philologists of the Alexandrian school . Traditionally, transitivity patterns are thought of as lexical information of the verb, but recent research in construction grammar and related theories has argued that transitivity

299-411: The arguments of the verb: how many there are and their person and number features. The prefixes can be divided into three sorts: agreement markers, applicative markers, and anaphors (reflexives and reciprocals). The prefixes occur in the following order: agreement-anaphor-applicative-verb stem. The agreement affixes are shown in the following chart. The only suffix among the personal agreement markers

322-413: The book . Verbs that take three objects are tritransitive . In English a tritransitive verb features an indirect object, a direct object, and a prepositional phrase – as in I'll trade you this bicycle for your binoculars – or else a clause that behaves like an argument – as in I bet you a pound that he has forgotten . Not all descriptive grammars recognize tritransitive verbs. A clause with

345-657: The chart above shows, there is no person-number agreement for third person arguments. Consider the following paradigms: Transitive active verbs seemingly with class III direct objects: When a transitive verb occurs with more than one agreement prefix, I prefixes precede II and III prefixes: Ii- 1P .I- chi- 2S . II - pi̱sa see ⟨ NGR ⟩ -tok - PT Ii- chi- pi̱sa -tok 1P.I- 2S.II- see ⟨ NGR ⟩ -PT 'We saw you.' Ish- 2S .I- pim- 1P . III - anooli tell -tok. - PT Ish- pim- anooli -tok. 2S.I- 1P.III- tell -PT 'You told us.' For intransitive verbs,

368-474: The nature of the structures. In contrast to transitive verbs, some verbs take zero objects. Verbs that do not require an object are called intransitive verbs . An example in modern English is the verb to arrive . Verbs that can be used in an intransitive or transitive way are called ambitransitive verbs . In English, an example is the verb to eat ; the sentences You eat (with an intransitive form) and You eat apples (a transitive form that has apples as

391-419: The number of objects they require. Verbs that entail only two arguments , a subject and a single direct object , are monotransitive. Verbs that entail two objects, a direct object and an indirect object, are ditransitive , or less commonly bitransitive . An example of a ditransitive verb in English is the verb to give , which may feature a subject, an indirect object, and a direct object: John gave Mary

414-489: The object) are both grammatical. The concept of valency is related to transitivity . The valency of a verb considers all the arguments the verb takes, including both the subject and all of the objects. In contrast to valency, the transitivity of a verb only considers the objects. Subcategorization is roughly synonymous with valency, though they come from different theoretical traditions. Transitive phrases, i.e. phrases containing transitive verbs, were first recognized by

437-568: The river is impounded by a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dam to form Grenada Lake , which collects the Yalobusha's largest tributary, the Skuna River . The Yalobusha at Grenada, MS averages a discharge of 2,436 cubic feet per second. 33°33′9″N 90°10′51″W  /  33.55250°N 90.18083°W  / 33.55250; -90.18083 Choctaw language The Choctaw language (Choctaw: Chahta anumpa ), spoken by

460-522: The sentence must contain a direct object. To elaborate, an action verb is a verb that has a physical action associated to its meaning. The sentence must contain a direct object meaning there must be a recipient of said verb. Two entities must be involved when using a transitive sentence. There is also a fixed word order associated with transitive sentences: subject-transitive verb-object. For example: Linda (Subject) e aesae (transitive verb) Adino (object) This sentence translates to, Linda knows Adino. It

483-553: The subjects of active verbs typically have class I agreement. Because third-person objects are unmarked, intransitive active verbs are indistinguishable in form from transitive active verbs with a third-person direct object. The subjects of stative verbs typically have II agreement. A small set of psychological verbs have subjects with class III agreement.

506-536: The town of Houston , and flows generally west-southwestwardly through Calhoun , Grenada and Leflore Counties, past the town of Grenada . At Greenwood it joins the Tallahatchie River to form the Yazoo River. Much of the Yalobusha's course through Calhoun County has been straightened and channelized ; this section of the river is also known as the "Yalobusha River Canal." In Grenada County,

529-658: Was already mentioned. Logically the definite article a(z) as reference is used here—and due to verb emphasis (definite), word order changes to VO. In English, one would say 'I do see the house', etc., stressing the verb – in Hungarian, the object is emphasized – but both mean exactly the same thing. In the Pingelapese language , transitive verbs are used in one of four of their most common sentence structures. Transitive verbs according to this language have two main characteristics. These characteristics are action verbs and
