Abstract:
The present volume contains a study of reduplication in a variety of African
languages and from different analytical perspectives. In all, the volume brings
together thirteen papers with data from 15 languages in Cameroon and 1 in
Senegal. While some of the papers give new impetus to issues of
reduplication, others reflect the broad perspective of studies on reduplication
as practised today.
Six papers on Isu, Medumba, Bafut, Nweh and Bantu zone A languages
analyse a variety of reduplication phenomena using fairly recent theoretical
models including MDT, generative grammar and discourse analysis. Major
issues covered include the widespread palatal infix in Grassfields Bantu, a
nasal infix in lexical reduplication, sources and patterns of association of
reduplication tones, reduplication as a syntactic phenomenon and the role of
reduplication in discourse.
Seven other papers on Bambele, Ghomala', Fe'fe', Limbum, Saafi Saafi,
Mengisa and Kenyang present an interesting array of data on reduplication
and, in addition, reflect a broad perspective of studies on reduplication. The
diversity of approaches adopted makes interesting reading and represent, as
such, a first step that may ultimately lead to a more thorough understanding
of reduplication in African languages.
