ABSTRACT
When you want to indicate the result of an action, a resultative complement is placed after the verb of action. If a sentence describes an active action the combined group (verb + consequential complement) is placed before the object. Consequential verbs in Igbo constitute verb forms that express that something has undergone a change in State.
They appear as predicates of sentences and are generally composed of a verb that denotes the event, a post lexical noun phrase denoting the state achieved as the result of the action named by the verb which may be represented by an adjective, a prepositional phrase or a particular among others. This study is on the Igbo consequential verbs
A word list and a collection of folktales are the methods of data collection for this research. For the wordlist, we will be making use of the Ibadan four hundred (400) word list from which the verbs with consequential effects (i.e consequential verb) were extracted to form the data for the analysis. And the study was handled within the framework fo role and reference grammar. The purpose of this study is to describe and know how consequential verbs are applied and used in the Igbo language.
