Book Synopsis Quotative Indexes in African Languages by : Tom Güldemann
Download or read book Quotative Indexes in African Languages written by Tom Güldemann and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-11-06 with total page 707 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book represents the results of a synchronic and diachronic cross-African survey of quotative indexes. These are linguistic expressions that signal in the ongoing discourse the presence of a quote (often called "direct reported speech"). For this purpose, 39 African languages were selected to represent the genealogical and geographical diversity of the continent. The study is based primarily on this language sample, in particular on the analysis of quotative indexes and related expressions from a text corpus of each sample language, but also includes a wide range of data from the published literature on other African as well as non- African languages. It is the first typological investigation of direct reported discourse of this magnitude in a large group of languages. The book may thus serve as a starting point of similar studies in other geographical areas or even with a global scope, as well as stimulate more detailed investigations of particular languages. The results of the African survey challenge several prevailing cross-linguistic generalizations regarding quotative indexes and reported discourse constructions as a whole, of which two are of particular interest. In the syntactic domain, where reported discourse has mostly been dealt with under so- called sentential complementation, the study supports the minority view that direct reported discourse and also a large portion of indirect reported discourse show hardly any evidence for the claim that the reported clause is a syntactic object complement of some matrix verb. With respect to grammaticalization, the work concludes that speech verbs are, against common belief, not a frequent source of quotatives, complementizers, and other related markers. Far more frequent sources are markers of similarity and manner; generic verbs of equation, inchoativity, and action; and pronominals referring to the quote or the speaker. Another more general conclusion of the study is that especially direct reported discourse can be fruitfully analyzed as part of a larger linguistic domain called "mimesis". This comprises expressions which represent a state of affairs by means of enactment/ performance rather than with the help of "canonical" linguistic signs and includes, besides reported discourse, world-referring bodily gestures, ideophone-like signs, and non-linguistic sound.
Download or read book Mali written by Andrea L. Stamm and published by ABC-CLIO. This book was released on 1998 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mali is one of the world's poorest nations, and the second largest country of francophone West Africa. In 1883 it became a colony of France. Following independence in 1960, the country pursued an aggressive socialist programme under the leadership of Modibo Keita, who was overthrown in a bloodless military coup in 1968. Four coup attempts followed in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as a highly publicized student strike and two disastrous droughts. Mall continues to be troubled by political and social tensions. This annotated bibliography, the first on Mall to be published in English, provides extensive coverage of English-and French-language publications on all aspects of the country.

Book Synopsis Dictionnaire touareg du Mali by : Jeffrey Heath
Download or read book Dictionnaire touareg du Mali written by Jeffrey Heath and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2006 with total page 850 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce dictionnaire touareg du Mali porte sur un parler jusqu'alors peu connu de ce vaste ensemble. Il comporte de nombreuses variantes dialectales et fournit les identifications scientifiques des espèces naturelles (flore, faune). Des commentaires linguistiques et autres, ainsi que des renvois aux dictionnaires du touareg du Niger et d'Algérie en font un outil utile pour tous ceux qui s'intéressent à cette langue et à cette culture. L'auteur emploie une graphie proche de celle que l'on emploie officiellement au Mali, mais il indique aussi les accents lexicaux et grammaticaux, ce qui est une première dans la lexicographie touarègue. L'ouvrage est le complément indispensable à deux autres publications récentes du même auteur : Grammar of Tamashek (Berlin, Mouton de Gruyter, 2005) et Tamashek Texts front Timbuktu and Kidal (Cologne, Rüdiger Köppe, 2006).

Book Synopsis Berber Loanwords in Hausa by : Maarten G. Kossmann
Download or read book Berber Loanwords in Hausa written by Maarten G. Kossmann and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hausa is the numerically most important member of the Chadic language family and is spoken by over 35 million people. It is the mayor language of northern Nigeria and southern Niger, nowadays the language of sedentary people. In contrast to that Tuareg, a Berber language, is mostly a nomadʹs language. Linguistic contacts between Tuareg and Hausa have not remained unnoticed by previous scholars. The great event in Hausa-Berber studies occurred in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the Hausaist Claude Gouffé wrote a number of articles concerning Tuareg-Hausa interferences. After Goufféʹs study, the most important contributions to the question of Tuareg loanwords in Hausa were made by Neil Skinner, which culminated in his "Hausa Comparative Dictionary" (1996). The present study follows the general lines set out by Gouffé and, to the lesser degree, Skinner. Its core part, chapter III.1, is an analytical list of about one hundred items which are considered certain Tuareg loans in Hausa. This list contains many etymologies already proposed by Gouffé and Skinner, but half of it are new proposals. In chapter III.2, some 50 uncertain etymologies are discussed. Some groups of etyma, which have specific histories, are studied in a separate chapter (chapter II). This comprises a study of words for domestic animals, which is mainly concerned with the evaluation of proposals by Skinner (1977, 1981), a study of early Islamic loans, a study of Berber loans which entered Hausa through Kanuri, and a special section on the etymon "camel". Chapter IV provides an analysis of the ways Tuareg loanwords were integrated to Hausa phonology and morphology. In chapter V, a number of subjects pertaining to Hausa linguistics are treated, which are drawn from the study of Tuareg loanwords, but which go beyond the analysis of loanwords only. -- Publisher description from http://www.koeppe.de (Oct. 4, 2011).

Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of the Berbers (Imazighen) by : Hsain Ilahiane
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Berbers (Imazighen) written by Hsain Ilahiane and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Berbers, also known as Imazighen, are the ancient inhabitants of North Africa, but rarely have they formed an actual kingdom or separate nation state. Ranging anywhere between 15-50 million, depending on how they are classified, the Berbers have influenced the culture and religion of Roman North Africa and played key roles in the spread of Islam and its culture in North Africa, Spain, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Taken together, these dynamics have over time converted to redefine the field of Berber identity and its socio-political representations and symbols, making it an even more important issue in the 21st century. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Berbers contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 200 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, places, events, institutions, and aspects of culture, society, economy, and politics. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Berbers.
