Résumé En

This paper provides a preliminary overview of applicative morphosyntax present in the Nujta (Nuita') village dialect of the Zophei language, a Maraic language and member of the South-Central Tibeto-Burman family spoken in Chin State, Myanmar. This paper seeks to address the general functionality and related morphosyntax of applicatives present within Nujta Zophei, realized as suffixes directly appended after the verb stem. The Zophei applicative inventory is explained, with a particular focus on an allative/malefactive applicative -suu. All data was collected over the course of the Linguistics 35 Field Methods course taught by David A. Peterson at Dartmouth College held from September to November 2020.
