  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

From its fi rst implantation in Ghana, then the Gold Coast, in the early part of the 16th century to date, English in Ghana, like in other West African countries has shown formidable resilience as the language of formal education, and a medium for cross-ethnic communication in a predominantly multilingual environment. The tensions attendant upon which language to use as a medium of instruction at the lower levels of education appear to be yielding to the logic of complementarities and bilingualism within the local language ecology. English in Ghana, as an outer circle phenomenon, has been travelling the delicate expansionist path of innovation, adaptation, and maintenance of standards over the years. The distinctive Ghanaian linguistic and cultural colouration continues to permeate the English language on all levels, including vocabulary, idiomatic usage, and pronunciation.

  • 1 African Language Classification Beyond Greenberg
    1 "Areal linguistics in Africa before a new approach to its genealogical language classification" Lecture 1, LLACAN, Paris, 9/3/2019 2 + his earliest classification was received positively - Westermann (1952: 256): 1 African language classification beyond Greenberg Greenberg is the first linguist who has attempted to give a classification of the whole range of Tom Güldemann African languages. He has not contented himself with a general survey, as all his predecessors, Humboldt University Berlin and Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History Jena including myself, have done, but has gone into considerable detail; in each single case he gives his proofs in word-lists, in tabulated formative elements, and also on sketch maps; he does not 1.1 Before and after Greenberg (1963) quote all his sources, which would have been practically impossible; nor is it essential, since they are known to the expert. He confirms many findings of those who have worked before 1.1.1 African language classification before Greenberg him, he corrects a number of errors; although many of these had been refuted by others, it had seldom been done with such clarity and definiteness as here. It is quite possible that some of + relying heavily on non-linguistic criteria, couched in colonial European attitudes to Africa his statements and classifications may prove to be not sufficiently clarified, or that he has (notably "Hamitic theory") overlooked a language which cannot be shown to be related to any other in Africa; he will be + highly synthetic: 3-5 genealogically intended super-groups criticized, and some of his classifications may be rejected; but all this does not detract from the value of his study, for which all of us have to thank him.

  • Contribution À La Classification Des Langues Kru (Niger-Congo) À Françoise Bouges
    1 Pierre Vogler 2017 Illkirch-Graffenstaden France Contribution à la classification des langues kru (Niger-Congo) À Françoise Bouges Résumé. La classification interne des langues kru est fondée sur la mise en œuvre des procédures ordinaires de la comparaison des formes – essentiellement – consonan- tiques. Une stricte hiérarchisation des composants des deux branches, occidentale et orientale, en constitue le cadre essentiel. Plutôt que non-classé, l’aizi doit être considéré comme un membre du sous-groupe grebo. Le kuwaa/belle, éloigné du massif principal et théoriquement issu d’une première divergence, occupe en réalité une place au sein des langues de l’ouest. Les migrations internes, en rapport avec la pression de la savane et les troubles dus à la traite, expliquent la situation de ces parlers, isolés en zone kwa ou mande. Le bakwé présente des traits des deux branches et son allure composite pro- cède de mouvements récents. Au plan externe, les langues kru sont issues d’une migra- tion venue du nord et leurs relations avec les groupes gur et Adamawa sont à privilégier de ce point de vue. 1. Les données 1.1. Le domaine des langues kru, de part et d’autre de la frontière de la Côte d’Ivoire et du Libéria, a été qualifié d’« éburnéo-libérien » (Delafosse 1952 : 830) pour cette raison même. Malgré la forte spécificité de l’ensemble, les limites sont demeurées probléma- tiques un temps, au nord – rapproché du mande – et à l’est – assimilé au lagunaire (kwa). Bien que l’intégration du sèmè/siamou du Burkina Faso soit largement admise (Person 1966 : 489, 491 ; Marchese 1984 : 88 ; Williamson/Blench 2000 : 24-25), cette langue doit être écartée.

  • Multilingualism Is the Term Used to Refer to a Speech Community Which Makes Use of Two Or More Languages
    Dr. Seth Antwi Ofori (Sociolinguistics notes, 2014) MULTILINGUALISM INTRODUCTION: -- Multilingualism is the term used to refer to a speech community which makes use of two or more languages. -- Many, perhaps most, of the countries of the world are decidedly multilingual. -- Multilingualism cuts across the whole social fabric in Africa and Ghana. -- It forms a socio-political and socio-linguistic characteristic of most speech communities in Africa and in Ghana. -- Understanding what multilingualism means to a society is at the core of the sociolinguistics of society. WHO IS A MULTILINGUAL? -- A multilingual refers to a person who has the ability to speak two or more languages with an appreciable degree of proficiency. Some scholars prefer to use the term bilingual for an individual who has the ability to speak two languages, and reserve the term multilingual for those who speak more than two languages. TYPES OF MULTILINGUALISM There are two types of multilingualism: individual multilingualism ad societal multilingualism. -- Individual multilingualism: -- Individuals based on their unique social circumstances “find the need or opportunity to learn an additional language.1 Such opportunities may show up in the course of the individual’s geographical and/or social mobility, or through marriage, or through some other exposure to another language” (Amuzu 2009: 82).2 Individual multilingualism is an almost everyday phenomenon in Africa and in Ghana among adults. Individual multilingualism refers to a situation where a person speaks two or more languages. -- Societal multilingualism: is a situation where two or more languages are (functionally) used in a society because several people know all or a combination of them.

DESCRIPTORS *African Languages; Foreign Countries; *Grammar; *Language Patterns; Language Research; Language Variation; *Semantics; Structural Analysis (Linguistics); *Syntax; Uncommonly Taught Languages; *Verbs IDENTIFIERS Africa (West); Dagari ABSTRACT An integrated analysis of the syntax and semantics of serial verb constructions (SVCs) in a group of West African languages is presented. With data from Dagadre and closest relatives, a structural definition for SVCs is developed (two or more lexical verbs that share grammatical categories within a clause), establishing SVCs as complex predicates. Based on syntactic theories, a formal phrase structure is adapted forrepresentation of SVCs, interpreting each as a product of a series of VP adjunctions. Within this new, non-derivational, pro-expansionary approach to grammar, several principles are developed to license grammatical information flow and verbal ordering priority. Based on semantic theories, a functional account of SVCs is developed: that the actions represented by the verbs in the SVC together express a single, complex event. A new model of e. -ant structure for allconstructional transitions is proposed, and it is illustrated how two types of these transitions, West African SVCs and Scandinavian small clause constructions(SCCs), conform to this proposed event structure.
