Abstract
This paper presents a description of Avatime serial verb constructions (SVCs), their properties, functions, and subtypes. Such a description is of wider typological interest due to Avatime’s status as an agglutinating member of the Ghana-Togo Mountain branch of the otherwise typically isolating Kwa language family. It is also notable for the unusual system of truncated agreement markers and the distinction between nuclear and core SVC subtypes not typically reported for West African languages.
