Book Synopsis Practical Orthography of African Languages by : International African Institute
Download or read book Practical Orthography of African Languages written by International African Institute and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-27 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of the Practical Orthography of African Languages was a best-seller and this and the following volume re-issues the second edition, in English and French. Originally published in 1930, it provided an invaluable solution to the problem of finding a practical and uniform method of writing African languages. The volume is bound with a small pamphlet which analyses the information on the Semitic and cushitic languages of Eritrea, Ethiopia and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. Related languages are grouped together into larger sections which have some linguistic significance. A further pamphlet, the Distribution of the Nilotic and Nilo-Hamitic Languages of Africa, describes the relationship between languages and dialects. For each language, data are given on locality, number of speakers, use for educational and religious purposes and the extent of vernacular literature. The linguistic material is set out in phonetic script with tone marks, though reference is made to current standard orthoraphies where these exist.

Book Synopsis An Introduction to African Languages by : George Tucker Childs
Download or read book An Introduction to African Languages written by George Tucker Childs and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces beginning students and non-specialists to the diversity and richness of African languages. In addition to providing a solid background to the study of African languages, the book presents linguistic phenomena not found in European languages. A goal of this book is to stimulate interest in African languages and address the question: What makes African languages so fascinating? The orientation adopted throughout the book is a descriptive one, which seeks to characterize African languages in a relatively succinct and neutral manner, and to make the facts accessible to a wide variety of readers. The author's lengthy acquaintance with the continent and field experiences in western, eastern, and southern Africa allow for both a broad perspective and considerable depth in selected areas. The original examples are often the author's own but also come from other sources and languages not often referenced in the literature. This text also includes a set of sound files illustrating the phenomena under discussion, be they the clicks of Khoisan, talking drums, or the ideophones (words like English lickety-split) found almost everywhere, which will make this book a valuable resource for teacher and student alike.
Book Synopsis Sociolinguistics in African Contexts by : Augustin Emmanuel Ebongue
Download or read book Sociolinguistics in African Contexts written by Augustin Emmanuel Ebongue and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a new perspective on sociolinguistics in Africa. Eschewing the traditional approach which looks at the interaction between European and African languages in the wake of colonialism, this book turns its focus to the social dynamics of African languages and African societies. Divided into two sections, the book offers insight into the crucial topics such as: language vitality and endangerment, the birth of ‘new languages’, a sociolinguistics of the city, language contact and language politics. It spans the continent from Algeria to South Africa, Guinea-Bissau to Kenya and addresses the following broad themes: Language variation, contact and changeThe dynamics of urban, rural and youth languagesPolicy and practice This book provides an alternative to the Eurocentric view of sociolinguistic dynamics in Africa, and will make an ideal read or supplemental textbook for scholars and students in the field/disciplines of African languages and linguistics, and those interested in southern theory or ‘sociolinguistics in the margins’.
Book Synopsis The Bantu Languages of Africa by : M. A. Bryan
Download or read book The Bantu Languages of Africa written by M. A. Bryan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The area covered by this book, originally published in 1953, is one that has long been recognized as presenting many problems from the point of view of Bantu linguistic studies. Almost all the material set out in this present work is based on notes taken in the field, and in many cases presented completely new facts. The sources of the information used are listed at the end of the linguistic description of each of the groups of languages dealt with. Since there are so many languages to be covered it would be impracticable to give even an outline of the main features of each of them, so an outline is given of the main characteristics of each separate group. One language is used as the type for each group, for the purpose of listing examples of the nominal prefixes, verbal conjugation, and personal prefixes. Other features are illustrated from whichever language is the most suitable.

Book excerpt: This volume, originally published in 1970, presents a survey of the languages spoken in an area extending from the Atlantic coast at the Sengal River eastward to the Lake Chad region.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ce livre présente les Actes du 27e Congrès de la Société de Linguistique de l'Afrique de l'Ouest (SLAO) qui s'est tenu du 14 au 20 août 2011 à Abidjan. Il rassemble les travaux les plus pertinents qui ont porté sur les recherches en linguistique des deux dernières décennies sur les langues de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Les articles ont été soumis à un comité de lecture anonyme puis revus par leurs auteurs. Les résultats de ces recherches restent encore d'actualité. Les aspects pris en compte sont les suivants : phonétique, phonologie, typologie, morphologie, syntaxe, linguistique appliquée, terminologie et apprentissage des langues, sociolinguistique et documentation des langues. Le congrès s'est particulièrement intéressé à trois thèmes, toujours d'actualité dans les langues africaines, notamment à la recherche, à l'enseignement et à la théorie linguistique. Ces thèmes sont : (1) les enjeux de la langue en relation avec le développement de la société, la culture, ainsi que la construction et le maintien de la paix, (2) les complexités et les défis de la typologie des langues africaines et de la documentation, (3) la perspective historique sur les langues africaines. Les trois thèmes ont été traités en plénière par des experts de renommée internationale. Quatre ateliers thématiques ont été approfondis : (a) phonétique, phonologie et typologie, (b) morphologie et syntaxe, (c) linguistique appliquée, terminologie et apprentissage des langues, (d) sociolinguistique et documentation de langues."--Page 4 of cover.
