Kukú
is a previously undescribed southeastern Nilotic language of the
Bari
family. It is spoken ¡n southern Sudan and northern Uganda.
Kukú
has a wide variety of verbal affixes. These affixes are involved in a
number of vowel harmony and tone assignment patterns. In this grammar
sketch, particular attention is paid to the qualitative morpheme, which
functions quite differently in
Kukú
than in other Nilotic languages. In
Kukú
its distribution, both with respect to the verbs on which it can appear and
the aspects in which it must appear, is related to a contrast between
telicity and atelicity. If the performance of the verb has a potential end-
point, and if the aspect is completive, then these conditions are marked by
the presence of the qualitative morpheme.
The syntax section focuses on problems in the distribution of the
complementizers and in the use of two copula-like elements, one of which
is clearly verbal and the other of which
¡s a
particle. The phonological
section of this description is based on traditional elicitation from a
consultant. The morphological and syntactic sections also draw heavily
from texts of various types, ranging from traditional songs to electronic
mail.
