LII}, publisher={Commission of Oriental Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences – Kraków Branch}, abstract={The paper presents the results of diachronic analysis of independent grammatical morphemes which function in the grammatical systems of Chadic languages. The following markers are being considered: genitive-linking morpheme, subject and object markers, copula, focus marker. Etymologically, the markers are traced back to Chadic (and Afroasiatic) system of determiners identified by the three phonological elements, namely *n, *t, and *k which have their vestiges in contemporary systems. It is claimed that what is a retention on phonological ground, contributes to innovation processes on the grammatical level.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Grammatical meaning of determiners in Chadic.
