We are pleased to announce the recent publication of "Families, areas,
and pools aplenty: a Festschrift for Tom Güldemann", edited by Ines
Fiedler and Lee J. Pratchett and published by Humboldt-Universität zu
Berlin.
Professor of African languages and linguistics at the
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Tom Güldemann's research spans a vast
array of different topics and areas of linguistics, not to mention the
many languages and language families in Africa and beyond. This is
reflected in the diversity of the 33 contributions to the volume,
organised in such a way that reflects Tom's macro-areal approach to
African linguistics (Güldemann 2018, inter alia). As such, the
Festschrift comprises sections on the Kalahari Basin, the Bantu spread
zone, the Macro-Sudan belt, the Central transition sphere ([a] the
Sahel), and the Nuba mountain accretion zone. Some papers treat whole
regions or pools of languages, or even the entire continent. Finally,
the Festschrift rounds up with the section Beyond Africa.
The publication is fully open access and the entire volume can be found
and downloaded here [1].
Chapters can be downloaded individually here [2].
Happy reading!
With our best wishes,
Ines Fiedler (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) and
Lee Pratchett (Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel)
