Although there were no statistically significant results in the intervention group, the present study highlights areas appropriate for further study.
Provided that they are followed either by a pause or by the polar interrogative nee / -ee, some Yulu verb forms are articulated without their final vowel (non-intense ə).This apocope, which is then to be observed in very restricted contexts only (final position or before the polar interrogative), affects systematically – i.e. without any possible c...

I challenge Stainton's reasons for thinking that some sub-sentential utterances have the status of full-f...
