[Data Analysis; Intermediate]

Consider the following data from Edo. The data have been slightly modified from the original for pedagogical reasons.

a)	Úyì	òré	né!né	òkhaèmwèn.
	Uyi	is	the	chief
	“Uyi is the chief.”
b)	*Né!né	òkpìá	yè	né!né	mòsèmòsè.
	The	man	is	the	beautiful
	“The man is beautiful.”
c)	Né!né	òkpìá	yè	mòsèmòsè.
	The	man	is	beautiful
	“The man is beautiful.”

Think about the word meaning “the” né!né. It can be used as a distributional test for parts of speech. Based on this limited data, what parts of speech can né!né appear with and what parts of speech does it not appear with?
