b. Below are SOME areas that could be strengthened with examples.

1. Vowel harmony- are there other types of harmony in the language other than ATR harmony which is not present in the language as mentioned? Or there is no harmony at all?

2. Tone - minimal pairs mentioned could be exemplified. For example,

Shá (wash/clean) shà (spoilt/go bad)

3. Syllable structure - examples could have been given. For example, CV - bá (come), V - é (3sg)

4. Syntactic structure - Word order - Ga is strictly SVO. An example could also be provided. I want to say that this word order is also true for other Ghanaian languages as Ewe. Eg. of Ewe

É ɖu nu

“He ate”

É ɖu nu

3SG eat thing

PRON V N

5. Minimal NP - This consists of a noun or pronoun. This could also be exemplified. For example, i. é

“He/she/it”

é

3SG

PRON

ii. papa lɛ

“The man”

papa lɛ

man.SBJ

N DET

Generated in TypeCraft.

6. "The linear ordering in the Noun phrase is as follows: Identifier-Possessor-Modifier Noun-Head Noun-Adjective-Numeral-Indefinite Specifier-Determiner-Definite marker-Quantifier-Intensifier" This linear ordering could have been exemplified with concrete example. The understanding is better thereof.
