Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Ethiopian Languages by : Ronny Meyer
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Ethiopian Languages written by Ronny Meyer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-15 with total page 1425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides a comprehensive account of the languages spoken in Ethiopia, exploring both their structures and features and their function and use in society. The first part of the volume provides background and general information relating to Ethiopian languages, including their demographic distribution and classification, language policy, scripts and writing, and language endangerment. Subsequent parts are dedicated to the four major language families in Ethiopia - Cushitic, Ethiosemitic, Nilo-Saharan, and Omotic - and contain studies of individual languages, with an initial introductory overview chapter in each part. Both major and less-documented languages are included, ranging from Amharic and Oromo to Zay, Gawwada, and Yemsa. The final part explores languages that are outside of those four families, namely Ethiopian Sign Language, Ethiopian English, and Arabic. With its international team of senior researchers and junior scholars, The Oxford Handbook of Ethiopian Languages will appeal to anyone interested in the languages of the region and in African linguistics more broadly.
Book Synopsis Grammaticalization Scenarios from Africa, the Americas, and the Pacific by : Walter Bisang

This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume intends to fill the gap in the grammaticalization studies setting as its goal the systematic description of grammaticalization processes in genealogically and structurally diverse languages. To address the problem of the limitations of the secondary sources for grammaticalization studies, the editors rely on sketches of grammaticalization phenomena from experts in individual languages guided by a typological questionnaire.
Book Synopsis Geographical Typology and Linguistic Areas by : Osamu Hieda
Download or read book Geographical Typology and Linguistic Areas written by Osamu Hieda and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Africa a linguistic area (Heine & Leyew 2008)? The present volume consists of sixteen papers highlighting the linguistic geography of Africa, covering, in particular, southern Africa with its Khoisan languages. A wide range of phenomena are discussed to give an overview of the pattern of social, cultural, and linguistic interaction that characterizes Africa's linguistic geography. Most contributors to the volume discuss language contact and areal diffusion in Africa, although some demonstrate, with examples from non-African linguistic data, including Amazonian and European languages, how language contact may lead to structural convergence. Others investigate contact phenomena in social-cultural behavior. The volume makes a large contribution toward bringing generalized theory to data-oriented discussions. It is intended to stimulate further research on contact phenomena in Africa. For sale in all countries except Japan. For customers in Japan: please contact Yushodo Co.

Book Synopsis Anthropological Linguistics by : Andrea Hollington
Download or read book Anthropological Linguistics written by Andrea Hollington and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2024-02-15 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection presents new research on key topics in anthropological linguistics, with a focus on African languages. While Africanist linguists have long been concerned with sociocultural aspects of language structure and use, no comprehensive volume dedicated to the anthropological linguistics of Africa has yet been published. This volume seeks to fill this gap. The chapters address a broad range of topics in anthropological linguistics, including classic themes such as spatial reference, color, kin terms, and emotion, as well as emerging interests in the linguistic expression of personhood, sociality, and language ideology. All contributions are based on original empirical research and present insights into African language practices from a sociocultural perspective. The volume showcases research on dozens of African languages spoken across the continent, with particular emphasis on languages of East Africa. This book will be of interest to areal specialists as well as to anthropological linguists worldwide.

Book Synopsis Similative and Equative Constructions by : Yvonne Treis
Download or read book Similative and Equative Constructions written by Yvonne Treis and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2017-05-31 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While comparative constructions have been extensively studied in the past decades, the expression of equality and similarity has so far attracted little attention in the typological literature. The fifteen contributions assembled in this volume study similative and equative constructions in typologically and genetically distant languages, albeit with a focus on Africa, and from a range of perspectives. Purely synchronically oriented case studies are supplemented by contributions that also shed light on the diachronic development of similative and equative constructions in language contact situations. Sources of similative morphemes and lexically expressed concepts of likeness are examined, and little-known multifunctionality patterns and grammaticalisation targets of similative morphemes – such as purpose clause markers, modality morphemes and markers of glottonyms – are discussed. Based on a sample of 119 languages worldwide, a new typology of equative constructions is proposed. The book should be of interest to typologists, semanticists, specialists of grammaticalization, historical linguistics and syntax.

Book Synopsis A Grammar of Sidaama by : Anbessa Teferra
Download or read book A Grammar of Sidaama written by Anbessa Teferra and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the grammar of Sidaama (a Cushitic language spoken in south-central Ethiopia) and contains five chapters. The first chapter is an introduction and provides information about Sidaama and its speakers, significance of the study, review of previous grammatical studies, etc. The second chapter deals with the phonemes and various phonological processes. The third chapter treats lexical and morphological categories and covers various word classes, inflection, derivation and compounding. In the fourth chapter phrasal categories such as NP, VP, AP, etc. are examined. In addition, complements, specifiers and modifiers are discussed. In the fifth chapter the structure of simple and complex sentences (which arise via sentential subordination or coordination) are analyzed. The book will enable linguists working on Cushitic languages to expand their horizon by gaining detailed data on Sidaama. Ethiopia forms a linguistic area whereby its various languages share common linguistic features. Thus, this book can contribute as data source for those who are involved in comparative linguistics of Ethiopian languages or theoretical linguists who want to test their claim

Book Synopsis Classical Ethiopic by : Josef Tropper
Download or read book Classical Ethiopic written by Josef Tropper and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon its publication in 2002, Josef Tropper’s Altäthiopisch: Grammatik des Gəˁəz mit Übungstexten und Glossar was quickly recognized as the best modern grammar of Classical Ethiopic in any language. Now Eisenbrauns makes Tropper’s grammar available for the first time in English, in this revised and expanded edition by Josef Tropper and Rebecca Hasselbach-Andee. Gəˁəz literature is diverse and of major importance for the study of early Christianity, Judaism, and the history of eastern Africa. The language of this rich literature, however, has been difficult to access until now. Designed to help language learners acquire competency with the script from the start, Classical Ethiopic provides a comprehensive treatment of Gəˁəz grammar, with detailed chapters on the language’s writing system, phonology, morphology, morphosyntax, and syntax. Numerous example sentences illustrate the grammatical concepts discussed, and each example is presented in Ethiopic script, transliteration, and English translation. The grammar concludes with an appendix presenting sample texts to be used as exercises, an English-Gəˁəz glossary, and an updated bibliography that takes into account the developments that have occurred in the study of Gəˁəz in the nearly two decades since Tropper’s original publication. Appropriate for the classroom and for independent study, Classical Ethiopic is sure to become the standard reference in English for the study of the language.

Book Synopsis Grammatical and Sociolinguistic Aspects of Ethiopian Languages by : Derib Ado
Download or read book Grammatical and Sociolinguistic Aspects of Ethiopian Languages written by Derib Ado and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this unique publication is on Ethiopian languages and linguistics. Not only major languages such as Amharic and Oromo receive attention, but also lesser studied ones like Sezo and Nuer are dealt with. The Gurage languages, that often present a descriptive and sociolinguistic puzzle to researchers, have received ample coverage. And for the first time in the history of Ethiopian linguistics, two chapters are dedicated to descriptive studies of Ethiopian Sign Language, as well as two studies on acoustic phonetics. Topics range over a wide spectrum of issues covering the lexicon, sociolinguistics, socio-cultural aspects and micro-linguistic studies on the phonology, morphology and syntax of Ethiopian languages.
