Book excerpt: Somali is spoken by more than nine million people in the Horn of Africa and by expatriate communities in the Middle East, Europe and North America. It is the official language of Somalia and an important regional language in Ethiopia and Kenya.

This book provides a comprehensive description of the grammar of the language that will be of interest to non-specialists and linguists interested in typology and language comparison. The author's accessible investigation of the phonology, morphology, syntax and discourse structure allows the reader a clear view of the linguistic character of Somali and, through Somali, of a Cushitic language. A further important feature of the book is its use of authentic data from a range of sources, including prose, poetry and proverbs.

Book Synopsis A Grammatical Sketch of Somali by : Helena Dubnov

Book excerpt: Die vorliegende grammatische Skizze des Somali (Somalia) bietet zunächst allgemeine Informationen zur Sprache wie Verbreitung, Dialekte, Status und Orthographie. Somali gehört zu dem ost-kuschitischen Zweig des Afroasiatischen. Mit einer Sprecherzahl von 9 Millionen wird es hauptsächlich in Somalia, Äthiopien, Djibuti und Nordkenia gesprochen. Als Muttersprache praktisch der gesamten Bevölkerung Somalias erfuhr das Somali nach 1972 eine beachtliche staatliche Förderung und wird heute in allen Bereichen des öffentlichen Lebens benutzt. Modernisierung und Standardisierung haben ein hohes Niveau erreicht. Der didaktisch strukturierte Hauptteil führt in die Phonologie, Morphologie und Syntax ein. Innerhalb der verbalen Morphologie stellen die attributiven Verben (attributive verbs) und die pre-verbs, welche die Präpositionen ersetzen, im Somali eine morphologische Besonderheit dar. Der Anhang enthält einen kurzen sozio-politischen Text mit englischer Übersetzung und lexiko-grammatikalischen Anmerkungen.
Book Synopsis Literatures in African Languages by : B. W. Andrzejewski
Download or read book Literatures in African Languages written by B. W. Andrzejewski and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1985-11-21 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although African literatures in English and French are widely known outside Africa, those in the African languages themselves have not received comparable attention. In this book a number have been selected for survey by fourteen specialist writers, providing the reader with an introduction to this very wide field and a body of reference material which includes extensive bibliographies and biographical information on African authors. Theoretical issues such as genre divisions are discussed in the essays and the historical, social and political forces at work in the creation and reception of African literature are examined. Literature is treated as an art whose medium is language, so that both the oral and written forms are encompassed. This book will be of value not only to readers concerned with the cultures of Africa but to all those with an interest in the literary phenomena of the world in general.
Book Synopsis A Pastoral Democracy by : I. M. Lewis
Download or read book A Pastoral Democracy written by I. M. Lewis and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 1999 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1961, shortly after establishment of the independent Somali Republic, the first step towards the formation of a 'Greater Somalia', brought this North-East African Muslim nation a prominence which it had not enjoyed since the British campaigns against the 'Mad Mullah' in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Somali nationalism, however, cannot be properly understood without a knowledge of the indigenous social organization. This study by a social anthropologist describes the political system of the Northern Somali nomads in their arid ecological setting, where competition for access to water and pasture, especially in the dry season, is acute and leads to frequent and often long-drawn-out feuds. In this warlike society political status depends very largely on numerical strength. Political loyalties based on kinship are organized through a form of Social Contract which distinguishes the pastoral Somali political system from otherwise similar political structures. Today this traditional organization is being challenged in areas where cultivation has recently been adopted, and in towns which are the foci of modern developments. Somali nationalism, drawing much of its strength from the unifying force of Islam, is an important factor. With the continued dedication of the majority of the population to pastoral nomadism, however, traditional clan and contractual loyalties inevitably play an important part in party politics. This analysis has proved to be of interest not only to anthropologists and Africanists, but also to students of Islamic society and of comparative political institutions.
