This article presents a generative account of the subjunctive and hortative forms of isiZulu verbs, using a lexical-realisational model of morphological generation. It is shown that this model can account succinctly for morphologies like the isiZulu subjunctive, with its various complexities, such as underdetermination, extended exponence, an array of affixes, and morphologically and phonologically conditioned allomorphs of both affixes and roots.
