Abstract
The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 12 (3), 1-21. Traditional and modern Kiswahili descriptions assume that the locative class or classes of the language do not contain inherent nouns, except for one or two or three words. Bantuists justify their claims from the mere fact that most locative nouns have lexids, i.e. stems, derived from lexical items in other classes. In addition, the lexids take a locative suffix {ni} as a class marker. This study examines data that show that locative words that bear the affix {ni} may be synonymous with words that have other affixes. We also demonstrate that locative words with {ni} distinguish between locational properties of objects and the entity of objects, and so, the class contains the same kinds of nouns that are found in other classes of the grammar.
