Abstract:

This book is a description of Luwo, a Western Nilotic language of South Sudan.
Luwo is used by multilingual, dynamic communities of practice as one language
among others that form individual and flexible repertoires. It is a language
that serves as a means of expressing the Self, as a medium of art and
self-actualization, and sometimes as a medium of writing. It is spoken in the
home and in public spaces, by fairly large numbers of people who identify
themselves as Luwo and as members of all kinds of other groups. In order to
provide insights into these dynamic and diverse realities of Luwo, this book
contains both a concise description and analysis of the linguistic features
and structures of Luwo, and an approach to the anthropological linguistics of
this language. The latter is presented in the form of separate chapters on
possession, number, experiencer constructions, spatial orientation, perception
and cognition. In all sections of this study, sociolinguistic information is
provided wherever this is useful and possible, detailed information on the
semantics of grammatical features and constructions is given, and discussions
of theory-oriented approaches to various linguistic features of Luwo are
presented.
