[Lingtyp] Any references on sequential devices?

[Bastian Persohn]

Dear Jesús,


First of all: your project sounds very interesting and I would like to 
hear more about it.

'Narrative' / 'subsecutive' / 'consecutive' markers are very common in 
African languages. As for the Bantu language family, Derek Nurse's 
(2008) book has a section on them.

In my book (2017) book (section 7.1) you will also find a summary of 
previous approaches, as well as a description of the two 'narrative' 
markers found in Nyakyusa (§7.1).
You'll find further useful references in there, of which I'd like to 
point out Longacre's (1990) as a classic concerning other African 
language families.
The volume edited by Payne & Shirtz (2015) als includes discussion of 
narrative morphology, e.g. Seidel's paper on Yeyi (Bantu).
Watter's (2002) on Kham (Sino-Tibetan) also includes an interesting 
discussion of morphological devices in narrative contexts.

These references are just from the top of my head and are not in any 
kind of way meant to be concise.

east and west Africa. Studies in African Linguistics supplement 10. 1–181.
