Abstract:

The papers in this volume were presented at the 47th Annual Conference on
African Linguistics at UC Berkeley in 2016. The papers offer new descriptions
of African languages and propose novel theoretical analyses of them. The
contributions span topics in phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics, and
pragmatics and reflect the typological and genetic diversity of languages in
Africa. Four papers in the volume examine Areal Features and Linguistic
Reconstruction in Africa, and were presented at a special workshop on this
topic held alongside the general session of ACAL.
