Abstract
In this thesis certain notions such as grammaticalization metaphors, semantic field analysis, categorization, proto-type theory and topology are used in order to explore the nature and the development of the auxiliaries in Zulu. The view that Zulu auxiliaries derive from full verbs is specifically and systematically examined.
