Prominence of tense, aspect, and mood morphology in the Lutuv (Lautu) verbal complex

Abstract

This paper evaluates the tense/aspect/mood paradigm in Lutuv (also known as Lautu), a South-Central Tibeto-Burman (Chin) language spoken in Chin State, Burma (or Myanmar) and in diaspora communities around the world, using the prominence criteria proposed by Bhat (1999).
