9.4.4 Attributive sentence Ex. 11 –14

The Kuna formation of an attributive sentence differs from the SpanishEnglish equivalent, el está chiquito ‗he is small ‘ in that only the noun and adjective are used; the verb serestar ‗to be‘ is omitted. Example Ul toto. ‗The canoe is small.‘ 9.4.4.1 Intonation of the attributive sentence The intonation pattern of an attributive sentence differs from that of a transitive or intransitive statement. There is a pause between the noun and the adjective. The pitch of the final syllable of the noun is raised, and the pitch of the final syllable of the adjective is lowered. Exercise 11 . Attributive frame drill The teacher says Sentence 1 and the student repeats it; the teacher says Sentence 2 and the student repeats it, etc. This exercise should be repeated several times. The intonation is the crucial part of this drill. Examples Teacher: Machi orojuli. Student: Machi orojuli. Teacher: Kukualed totojuli. Student: Kukualed totojuli. 1. Machi orojuli. ‗The boy is very tall.‘ 2. Kukualed totojuli. ‗The plane is large.‘ 3. Mimmi ye. ‗The baby is sick.‘ 4. Akwa chellele. ‗The rock is hard.‘ 5. Tule chered. ‗The Kuna person is old.‘
