This page contains part of the data which I use in writing my Thesis Towards a Morph-Phonological and Syntactic Description of Applicative Constructions in Runyankore-Rukiga. It is purposely constructed to provide more information about applicative Constructions in Bantu languages. The information provided, is paramount in availing morpho-phonological, syntactic and semantic comparisons between applicative formations in Runyankore-Rukiga and other Bantu Languages annotated. Most of the Bantu languages whose data have been annotated and used have been well studied by outstanding Bantu linguists.
