Abstract:

The question of semantism of Bantu nominal classes has risen and still
rises heated debates between Africanist linguists, in general, and
Bantuists, in particular. The present book, which comes back on that
exciting subject treats the question of the correlation between affixes of
classes and semantic categorization in a new perspective, that of the
language acquisition in children. It is about comparing historical data
(proto-Bantu reconstructions) and the reality of nominal class systems in
synchrony with acquisitional strategies developed by children in the
acquisition process of these systems by children.
