Abstract

Functional morphemes have been the subject of intense study in recent years. Certain functional morphemes indicate various functions and the same form of one functional morpheme may appear in different syntactic domains. The present study aims at probing into this phenomenon by focusing on the multifunctional morpheme ge- in Gaoping Jin. I study the morphosyntactic properties of ge- and found that the functional morpheme ge- in GPJ is category-neutral, and thus the same form of ge- can occur in several different domains. For this reason, the morpheme ge- can be used cross-categorially.
