    11 Linguistic Features and Typologies in Languages Commonly Referred to as ‘Nilo-Saharan’ Gerrit J. Dimmendaal, Colleen Ahland, Angelika Jakobi, and Constance Kutsch Lojenga 11.1 Introduction The phylum referred to today as Nilo- Saharan (occasionally also Nilosaharan) was established by Greenberg (1963). It consists of a core of language families already argued to be genetically related in his earlier classiication of African languages (Greenberg 1955:110–114), consisting of Eastern Sudanic, Central Sudanic, Kunama, and Berta, and grouped under the name Macrosudanic; this language family was renamed Chari- Nile in his 1963 contribution after a suggestion by the Africanist William Welmers. In his 1963 classiication, Greenberg hypothesized that Nilo- Saharan consists of Chari- Nile and ive other languages or language fam- ilies treated as independent units in his earlier study: Songhay (Songhai), Saharan, Maban, Fur, and Koman (Coman). Bender (1997) also included the Kadu languages in Sudan in his sur- vey of Nilo-Saharan languages; these were classiied as members of the Kordofanian branch of Niger-Kordofanian by Greenberg (1963) under the name Tumtum. Although some progress has been made in our knowledge of the Kadu languages, they remain relatively poorly studied, and there- fore they are not further discussed here, also because actual historical evi- dence for their Nilo- Saharan afiliation is rather weak. Whereas there is a core of language groups now widely assumed to belong to Nilo- Saharan as a phylum or macro- family, the genetic afiliation of families such as Koman and Songhay is also disputed (as for the Kadu languages). For this reason, these latter groups are discussed separately from what is widely considered to form the core of Nilo- Saharan, Central Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

  • Nominal and Verbal Number in Bilugu Opo*
    Studies in African Linguistics Volume 48, Number 1, 2019 NOMINAL AND VERBAL NUMBER IN BILUGU OPO* Joshua A. G. Smolders SIL International Opo (a.k.a. Opuuo, Tʼapo [lgn]), a Koman language spoken in Ethiopia and South Sudan, has complex and interesting systems of both NOMINAL NUMBER and VERBAL NUMBER. This paper provides a description and analysis of these systems as found in the Bilugu dialect of Ethiopia, using Corbett's (2000) model of number systems as a theoretical framework. In Bilugu Opo, NOMINAL NUMBER marking is divided along the animacy hierarchy into two systems. The TOP SYSTEM, encompassing all human referents, marks singular ~ plural opposition via a variety of morphological strategies (lexical, derivational, and inflectional) and patterns (marked plural, marked singular, and both marked). The SECOND SYSTEM, encompassing all non-human referents, encodes GENERAL NUMBER. In the Opo verb system, VERBAL NUMBER (Corbett 2000) or PLURACTIONALITY (Newman 1990) is attested for just under half of verbs. These verbs can be organized into two groups: a large group which derive a plural stem through morpho-phonemic means (tone modification, vowel gemination, and reduplication) with unpredictable semantics, and a small group which derive a plural stem through lexical means (suppletion and stem alternation) with more predictable semantics. Keywords: Nilo-Saharan, Koman, Opo, T'apo, Opuuo, number, general number, transnumeral, associative number, participant nominalization, verbal number, pluractional, pluractionality, event number, participant number, animacy hierarchy. 1. Introduction This paper describes both NOMINAL NUMBER and VERBAL NUMBER in Opo (a.k.a. Opuuo, Tʼapo, ISO 639-3 [lgn]), a Koman language of Ethiopia and South Sudan, with a particular focus on the Bilugu dialect of Ethiopia.1 Number in Opo is interesting because of both its morphological and semantic diversity.

  • Language Typology and Syntactic Description: Volume II
    This page intentionally left blank Language Typology and Syntactic Description Second edition Volume II: Complex Constructions This unique three-volume survey brings together a team of leading scholars to explore the syntactic and morphological structures of the world’s languages. Clearly organized and broad-ranging, it covers topics such as parts of speech, passives, complementation, relative clauses, adverbial clauses, inflec- tional morphology, tense, aspect, mood, and deixis. The contributors look at the major ways that these notions are realized, and provide informative sketches of them at work in a range of languages. Each volume is accessi- bly written and clearly explains each new concept introduced. Although the volumes can be read independently, together they provide an indispensable reference work for all linguists and field workers interested in cross-linguistic generalizations. Most of the chapters in the second edition are substantially revised or completely new – some on topics not covered by the first edition. Volume ii covers co-ordination, complementation, noun phrase structure, rel- ative clauses, adverbial clauses, discourse structure, and sentences as combi- nations of clauses. Timothy Shopen (1936–2005) was Senior Lecturer in Linguistics at the Australian National University. He had over forty years’ experience of teach- ing and researching a variety of the world’s languages, and also held posts at Indiana University and the Center for Applied Linguistics in Arlington, Virginia. In addition to Language Typology, he was

    The Mao and Komo Languages in the Begi – Tongo area in Western Ethiopia: Classification, Designations, Distribution Klaus-Christian Küspert NMS Ethiopia 1. Introduction The ethnic and linguistic situation in the western part of Oromia Regional State and the south- western part of Benishangul Gumuz Regional State in Western Ethiopia is complicated. The Oromo language is the only official and clearly dominating language in Oromia, and it serves as a lingua franca in the southern and western parts of Benishangul Gumuz. Amharic is the of- ficial language in Benishangul Gumuz where it is used as the language of instruction in most public schools, but in many areas it is of limited importance for daily communication. Berta, Gumuz, Shinasha (Borna), Mao and Komo are officially recognised as the nationalities in Benishangul Gumuz which have the right to get education in their mother tongues. While Ber- ta, Gumuz and Shinasha as linguistic and ethnic terms seem to be fairly clear, Mao and Komo appear to be confusing. There are good reasons that cause me to believe that those who are commonly referred to as “Mao and Komo” in the Western Wollega zone in Oromia and in Mao Komo Special Woreda and in the Asosa zone in Benishangul Gumuz speak as many as six different lan- guages: Gwama, Komo, Hozo, Seze, Northern Mao and Ganza, some of them belonging to the Omotic (Afro-Asiatic) and some to the Koman (Nilo-Saharan) families.1 It seems that Mao 1For the genectic classification of each of these language groups cf. the works of Ahland (2012); Bender (1975; 1985; 1996; 2000); Ehret (2001); Fleming (1974; 1976; 1986) and Hayward (2000).
