Object incorporation

Object incorporation

Object incorporation is a linguistic valency-decreasing operation employed by a number of languages, in particular those with highly synthetic morphologies. Object incorporation is a kind of noun incorporation, more common than the similar process of subject incorporation.

As a formal process, object incorporation derives an intransitive verb from a transitive one. This is achieved by incorporating a noun form referring to the object of a verb into the verb form itself.

The following is an example of object incorporation taken from Panare. The first sentence is the incorporated form, and the second the unincorporated:

Notice also that in these examples, the incorporated form of "head", "u"', and the unincorporated form "ipu" differ, a common feature of object incorporation.
