John Benjamins Publishing presents a new grammar of Hausa:
Hausa
Philip J. Jaggar (SOAS, London)
London Oriental and African Language Library,7
2001. xxxiv,754 pp. Hardcover.
US & Canada: 1 58811 030 3 USD 182.00
Rest of world: 90 272 3807 3 EUR 200.00
Hausa is a major world language, spoken as a mother tongue by more than 30
million people in northern Nigeria and southern parts of Niger, in addition
to diaspora communities of traders, Muslim scholars and immigrants in urban
areas of West Africa, e.g. southern Nigeria, Ghana, and Togo, and the Blue
Nile province of the Sudan. It is also widely spoken as a second language
and has expanded rapidly as a lingua franca.
Hausa is a member of the Chadic language family which, together with
Semitic, Cushitic, Omotic, Berber and Ancient Egyptian, is a coordinate
branch of the Afroasiatic phylum.
This comprehensive reference grammar consists of sixteen chapters which
together provide a detailed and up-to-date description of the core
structural properties of the language in theory-neutral terms, thus
guaranteeing its on-going accessibility to researchers in linguistic
typology and universals.
