Abstract:

This monograph conducts a syntactic study of Tuki, a Bantu language spoken in
Cameroon, from a cartographic perspective. The following domains are
meticulously explored: The Complementizer Domain, the Inflectional Domain and
the Verbal Domain. This study reveals that there is a relative phrase (RelP)
located between ForceP and FocP. Moreover, a detailed analysis of an
articulated IP provides the order of clausal functional heads that manifest
aspectual morphology, which is theoretically closely related to issues in
adverbial syntax. Additionally, the language under study unveils a very rich
structural make up of DP and the surface word orders attested in this phrase
can be accounted for in terms of snowballing movement operations along the
lines previously sketched in the format of the Split DP Hypothesis. Overall,
this cartographic analysis is bound to enrich our morphosyntactic knowledge of
UG clausal architecture by demonstrating that its rich underlying structural
skeleton is correlated by a wealthy surface structural and functional map.

Edmond Biloa is professor of Linguistics and Chair of the Department of
African Languages and Linguistics at the University of Yaounde I in Cameroon
(Africa).
