Abstract:
A Grammar of the Kilba Language presents a detailed description of Kilba.
Kilba Language is one of the endangered Nigerian languages. It is
predominately spoken in the Adamawa State. Greenberg (1963) classified Kilba
under the Bata-Marghi sub group of the Chadic languages of the Afro-Asiatic
phylum.
The book describes some linguistic aspects of Kilba. As a preliminary to the
main discussion, the geographical location of Kilba land, the culture and
dialects of the Language are highlighted. The book then describes the
Phonology, Morphology and Syntax of the Language. On phonology, the book
treats the sound system, phonological processes and the tonal system of the
language. The section on Morphology treats, in part, nominal and verbal
morphology of the language. The section on Morphology treats, in part, nominal
and verbal morphology of the language. In the section on nominal morphology,
the book treats nouns, adjectives, pronouns and adverbs, while the section on
verbal morphology discusses the derivational and inflectional aspects of the
verbs. Concerning syntax, the book treats the various constituents that make
up the two phrases: nominal and verbal. The book reveals the nature and
restrictions that occur in the usage of the lexical items in the two phrases.
Each of the items that occur in both the phrases are spelt out and phrase
structure tree diagrams of some of the sentences are drawn and phrase
structure rules are also established in order to show how the constituents are
hierarchically related and finally, the concluding part of the book consists
the vocabulary of the language alphabetically arranged.
Mohammed Aminu Mu'azu is Professor of Linguistics and lecturer in the
Department of Languages and Linguistics, University of Maiduguri-Nigeria. He
has published over fifteen books on various endangered Nigerian Languages.
