  • 1 Towards the Reconstruction of the Tense-Aspect-Mood
    Towards the reconstruction of the tense-aspect-mood (TAM) system in early Bantoid, with particular attention to the category “tense” John R. Watters, SIL International September 2012 Proto-Niger-Congo Congress, Paris 1.0 Definition of the question The general purpose of this study is to contribute to our understanding of the tense-aspect- mood (TAM) categories and systems in proto or early Bantoid. Within that broad purpose, this study will give particular attention to the status of tense in Proto-Bantoid or early Bantoid. All Bantoid languages today systematically mark aspectual categories (e.g. imperfective) and modal categories (e.g. subjunctive). However, only some Bantoid languages mark tense as a grammatical category such as the Grassfields Bantu and Narrow Bantu languages. In other Bantoid languages, tense is absent such as in the Ekoid Bantu languages. This variation in the distribution of tense raises the question whether proto or early Bantoid was a tense-aspect language in which tense was lost in some subgroups over time, or was an aspect-prominent language in which certain subgroups innovated tense. If the latter case holds, I would want to ask additional questions: Where and when did the marking of tense as a verbal category emerge? What would it mean for our understanding of the early years of Bantoid, its subgroupings, and its internal migrations? Did the development of tense originate within one sub-set of languages from which it spread to others, or did various subgroups innovate tense independently of the others? I would also want to compare the distribution of tense in Bantoid languages with the results of lexicostatistical studies.

  • Studies in African Linguistics Volume 43, Numbers 1&2, 2014 Michael R
    Studies in African Linguistics Volume 43, Numbers 1&2, 2014 EXCEPTIONAL PATTERNS OF OBJECT MARKING IN BANTU Michael R. Marlo University of Missouri This article discusses three main phenomena in the morpho-syntax and morpho- phonology of Bantu languages in which the 1SG object prefix (OP) and/or the reflexive, display anomalous properties compared to other OPs. (i) The 1SG OP and the reflexive commonly have unique combinatorial properties with additional OPs. (ii) The 1SG OP (or, rarely, the reflexive as well) triggers different patterns of final vowel (FV) allo- morphy in the imperative. (iii) The 1SG OP but usually not the reflexive behave different- ly in reduplication. Each of these phenomena is the subject of a micro-typological survey within Bantu, the results of which support the conclusion that morpho-syntactic and mor- pho-phonological factors are responsible for the full range of anomalous patterns of the 1SG OP and reflexive across Bantu. The exceptional abilities of the 1SG OP and reflexive OP to combine with an extra OP and to trigger a different pattern of FV allomorphy in the imperative are the result of a distinct, lower structural position of the 1SG and reflex- ive prefixes compared to other OPs, but the overcopying of the 1SG OP in reduplication has a phonological basis. 1. Introduction In a wide range of Bantu languages and phenomena, the 1SG object prefix (OP) and the reflexive display exceptional properties compared to other OPs. This paper deals primarily with three phenomena that involve exceptional behavior of one or both of these prefixes: combinations of OPs, allomorphy of the final vowel in the imperative, and reduplication.

Chichewa, Citumbuka and Cisena. For each language, an in-depth description of the tense-aspect categories and their use is given based on the analysis of different sources of data: audio recordings of arranged conversations and narratives, questionnaires in which native speakers of Chichewa, Citumbuka and Cisena translated English sentences into their own language, and parallel corpora of Biblical texts as well as direct elicitation and consultation sessions. The description provides evidence of dialectal variation in the tense-aspect systems in each language that has not been described systematically before. Furthermore, it discusses specific diachronic changes, such as the development of the present progressive marker -ku- into a present tense marker in Chichewa. Remoteness distinctions in the past and future tenses, which are common across Bantu, are also found in the three languages under investigation here. The use of these categories is studied in detail and a certain extent of flexibility in their use is observed.

  • ACAL 39 ABSTRACTS Thematic Analysis of Gurene Proverbs James
    ACAL 39 ABSTRACTS Thematic Analysis of Gurene Proverbs James Azure Ababila, University of Education, Winneba, Ghana The paper attempts a thematic analysis of Gurene proverbs based on their source domains. The source domains from which proverb themes derive are varied. The paper further examines the extent to which the speakers perceive the proverb as a repository of traditional wisdom and their world view. More than being mere objects of amusement, or even devices for learning, proverbs both reflect and contribute to patterns in people's lives, and therefore can form a powerful basis for community cohesion. I explore the different themes using data from the language. Proverb themes are greatly enhanced by literary devices such as metaphors, similes, personification and parallelism. The paper discusses the link between proverb themes and these literary devices. Clausal Comparative construction of Ethiopian Languages Daniel Aberra, University of Alberta. In his identification of Africa as a linguistic area, Greenberg (1983) pointed out that the ‘exceed comparative’ construction is one of its areal syntactic trait. This observation of Greenberg has been augmented by Heine & Kuteva (2001, 2005) that it is a macro­area feature for Africa. In fact, from the world languages that use as a standard comparison the verb meaning ‘surpass’, ‘defeat’, ‘exceed’, ‘pass’ etc, 65% are African languages of all phyla. The use of the exceed comparative is a common feature of Ethiopian languages, too. However, unlike other African languages they also use what is called the ‘separative comparative’ in addition to the exceed comparative. This paper shows that Ethiopian languages use the combination of the separative (location schema) and exceed (action schema) comparatives marking of standard (‘than’), and the comparative concept (‘more’) in line with Stassen’s (1984, 1985) typology of comparatives and Heine’s (1994, 1997) event schemas.

    Cover Page The handle http://hdl.handle.net/1887/36063 holds various files of this Leiden University dissertation Author: Boyd, Ginger Title: The phonological systems of the Mbam languages of Cameroon with a focus on vowels and vowel harmony Issue Date: 2015-11-05 1 Introduction The languages of Mbam have a unique position in Bantu linguistics. Bastin and Piron (1999: 155), for example, consider these languages as the joint between “narrow” Bantu and “wide” Bantu, sometimes patterning with the one and sometimes with the other, while Grollemund (2012: 404) goes so far as to claim that it is “... le centre de diffusion proto-bantu, à partir duquel auraient débuté les migrations bantu...” As such, they are a rich motherlode for linguistic research to better understand both the Bantu A and Southern Bantoid languages and their relationship to each other. The Mbam languages have another point of interest as well. They have been considered as standard 7-vowel languages (/i, e, ɛ, a, ɔ, o, u/) with Advanced Tongue Root (ATR) harmony. Several of the languages in this study, Nen (Stewart & van Leynseele 1979, Mous 1986, 2003), Maande (Taylor 1990), Gunu (Robinson 1984, Hyman 2001) and Yangben (Hyman 2003a), have been previously analysed as having ATR harmony and 7-vowel vowel inventories. Vowel harmony 2 has been described as “a requirement that vowels in some domain, typically the word, must share the same value of some vowel feature, termed the “harmonic feature” (Casali 2008: 497), in the case of the Mbam languages, an important “harmonic feature” is ATR. Vowel harmony in African languages is a topic that has received a lot of notice and study, and the vowel harmony of not a few of the Mbam languages has also been studied.
