Abstract:
Syllable weight is a crucially important concept in the fields of phonology
and morphology. It impacts analyses and explanation whether theoretical,
typological, or descriptive. African linguistics was critical in the original
development of the concept and, as this book demonstrates, the concept is
critical to our understanding of complex phenomena in African languages,
including stress, tone, allomorphy, minimal word requirements, and metrics.
This volume includes a broad overview of syllable weight as a phonological
variable and then provides detailed case studies covering an array of African
languages from various phyla spoken across the continent. This should prove to
be an essential book for scholars and students in the area of general
phonology and African linguistics. The editor of the book, Distinguished
Professor Paul Newman, is an internationally well-known expert on African
linguistics in general and the Hausa language in particular. It was he who
first introduced the term ‘syllable weight’ in a seminal article published
nearly a half century ago.
