Abstract:

Temne is a southern West Atlantic language which is spoken in the Northern 
Province of Sierra Leone. The aim of this study is primarily descriptive: to 
provide a systematic account of the sounds and forms of the language. 

Chapter 1 presents a general introduction to the segmental phonology of 
Temne. 

Chapter 2 examines the morphophonology of the specifier system of the noun 
phrase and provides a new classification of the singular / plural, definite / 
indefinite pairings. 

In Chapter 3, the pronominal system and in Chapter 4, Numerals, 
Prepositions, and Adverbials are discussed. 

In Chapter 5 the verbal complex is examined. Although this study does not 
contain an explicit tonology chapter, the author deals with tone rules 
throughout whenever they shed light on phonological or morphological 
processes, e.g., the reattachment of the tones of deleted segments. The tone 
is always marked.
