Book Synopsis On reconstructing Proto-Bantu grammar by : Koen Bostoen
Download or read book On reconstructing Proto-Bantu grammar written by Koen Bostoen and published by Language Science Press. This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 862 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about reconstructing the grammar of Proto-Bantu, the ancestral language at the origin of current-day Bantu languages. While Bantu is a low-level branch of Niger-Congo, the world’s biggest phylum, it is still Africa’s biggest language family. This edited volume attempts to retrieve the phonology, morphology and syntax used by the earliest Bantu speakers to communicate with each other, discusses methods to do so, and looks at issues raised by these academic endeavours. It is a collective effort involving a fine mix of junior and senior scholars representing several generations of expert historical-comparative Bantu research. It is the first systematic approach to Proto-Bantu grammar since Meeussen’s Bantu Grammatical Reconstructions (1967). Based on new bodies of evidence from the last five decades, most notably from northwestern Bantu languages, this book considerably transforms our understanding of Proto-Bantu grammar and offers new methodological approaches to Bantu grammatical reconstruction.
Book Synopsis Paradigm Change by : Martine Robbeets
Download or read book Paradigm Change written by Martine Robbeets and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with comparing morphological paradigms between languages in order to establish areal and genealogical relationships. The languages in focus are the Transeurasian languages: Japanese, Korean, Tungusic, Mongolic, and Turkic languages. World-eminent experts in diachronic morphology and typology interact with specialists on Transeurasian languages, presenting innovative theoretical analyses and new empirical facts. The stress on the importance of paradigmatic morphology in historical linguistics contrasts sharply with the paucity of existing literature on the topic. This volume partially fills this gap, by shifting focus from Indo-European to other language families. “Paradigm change” will appeal to scholars and advanced students concerned with linguistic reconstruction, language contact, morphology and typology, and to anyone interested in the Transeurasian languages.
Book Synopsis East Benue-Congo by : John R. Watters
Download or read book East Benue-Congo written by John R. Watters and published by Language Science Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first in what hopefully will be a growing set of edited volumes and monographs concerning Niger-Congo comparative studies. This first volume addresses matters that are relevant to the entire East Benue-Congo family as well as the particular branches Kainji, Plateau, and Bantoid. In the case of Bantoid, the particular focus is on Grassfields and the Grassfields-Bantu borderland, though other Bantoid subgroups are referenced. The potential topics for comparative studies among these languages are numerous, but this volume is dedicated to presentations on nominal affixes, third person pronouns, and verbal extensions. A forthcoming volume will provide some results of reconstructions and lexicostatistics in Cross River, exploratory reconstructions in Southern Jukunoid, and reconstructions in Ekoid-Mbe and Mambiloid.

This book was released on 2023-11-27 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dictionary section of this book is a practical guide to standard Limbum. It has over 8.343 main references and approximately 4.500 sub-references. It is the second edition of the lexical database of Limbum. In it, homonyms have been numbered, their part of speeches distinguished and notes have been added to the definitions for clarity. This edition of the Limbum - English Dictionary contains an English Index, Grammar Analyses, and some information on Limbum Dialects. The aim is to make it possible for Limbum learners to have one document that they can consult in order to gain an understanding of the language. Francis Wepngong Ndi who is the main compiler was born in Mbot, Nkambe on January 15, 1968. He holds a Masters of Philosophy (MPhil) in Linguistics from Leiden University. He started his Lexicography work on Limbum in 2002 while working as a volunteer at the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) Yaoundé, Cameroon. His research interests are Morphology, Semantics, Pragmatics, Discourse Analysis, and Sociolinguistics. Limbum (Mbum language) is an Eastern Grassfields Bantu language that is made up of three dialects. According to the International Mission Board 2023, the population of Limbum speakers is approximately to be 226,000. Most of the speakers are natives of the Nkambe Central and Ndu subdivision of the North West Region of Cameroon. Some groups of Limbum speakers can be found in major towns of Cameroon. Other significant groups of Limbum speakers live in Nigeria, Europe and the United States of America.

Book Synopsis Standard Negation by : Matti Miestamo
Download or read book Standard Negation written by Matti Miestamo and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-08-22 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first cross-linguistic study of clausal negation based on an extensive and systematic language sample. Methodological issues, especially sampling, are discussed at length. Standard negation – the basic structural means languages have for negating declarative verbal main clauses – is typologized from a new perspective, paying attention to structural differences between affirmatives and negatives. In symmetric negation affirmative and negative structures show no differences except for the presence of the negative marker(s), whereas in asymmetric negation there are further structural differences, i.e. asymmetries. A distinction is made between constructional and paradigmatic asymmetry; in the former the addition of the negative marker(s) is accompanied by further structural differences in comparison to the corresponding affirmative, and in the latter the correspondences between the members of (verbal etc.) paradigms used in affirmatives and negatives are not one-to-one. Cross-cutting the constructional-paradigmatic distinction, asymmetric negation can be further divided into subtypes according to the nature of the asymmetry. Standard negation structures found in the 297 sample languages are exemplified and discussed in detail. The frequencies of the different types and some typological correlations are also examined. Functional motivations are proposed for the structural types – symmetric negatives are language-internally analogous to the linguistic structure of the affirmative and asymmetric negatives are language-externally analogous to different asymmetries between affirmation and negation on the functional level. Relevant diachronic issues are also discussed. The book is of interest to language typologists, descriptive linguists and to all linguists interested in negation.
