“…In Mẽbengokre, nominative is assigned or valued in the presence of a finite or verbal form of a verb, so we propose that the auxiliaries in (43) function syntactically as finite (light) verbs that assign or value nominative on an external argument. By contrast, the auxiliaries in class (42) that resemble adpositions do not assign/value case other than absolutive to/on the nominal subordinated clause containing the lexical verb, with ergative marking on the subject originating within this nominal clause complement (for case in Mẽbengokre, see Salanova 2007Salanova , 2008; for case with auxiliaries, see Salanova et al 2012). The adposition o found with auxiliaries of type (43) licenses the subordinated nominal clause by assigning/valuing absolutive case to/on it.…”

“…Além disso, é tratada como nominalização pelo fato de um verbo se distribuir em ambientes nominais, recebendo marcação de caso e outras marcas relacionadas a nomes. De acordo com Salanova (2008Salanova ( , 2011, Mẽbengokre exibe pelo menos 3 tipos de expressões nominais deverbais: (i) as nominalizações lexicais, (ii) as orações relativas de núcleo interno e (iii) as nominalizações de eventos.…”
