En savoir plus sur le livre
This collection features a range of scholarly contributions focused on various aspects of linguistics, particularly within African languages. The introduction sets the stage for the exploration of vocalogenesis in Central Chadic languages, followed by an examination of nasality in the Gengbe syllable. The analysis of Jóola Eegimaa lenition employs a weight-based approach, while the morphophonology of nouns in Najamba (Dogon) is dissected to reveal intricate patterns. The semanticization of phonological attributes in sound-imitating words in Akan showcases the interplay between sound and meaning. Further, the study of Emai serial verb domains highlights both symmetrical and asymmetrical structures, and the syntax of Akan is investigated through the lens of the null third-person object pronoun. The complexities of the verb "to be" in Hausa are analyzed in relation to grammar and communication. The volume concludes with a tribute to Paul Newman, celebrating his contributions as both a scholar and a person, reflecting on his impact within the field. This compilation not only honors Newman’s legacy but also enriches the understanding of African linguistics through diverse perspectives and methodologies.
