Abstract:
This book is a comprehensive, comparative/historical study of Chadic, a family
of some 150 languages, the largest and best known of which is Hausa, spoken in
Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon, and Chad. The book contains overviews of the entire
family, proposals for Proto-Chadic reconstruction, and detailed sketches of
four representative languages belonging to the major branches of the family,
namely Hausa, Ngamo, Gude, and Kera. Phonological topics covered include
consonant inventories, especially prenasals, glottalic consonants, and
lateral fricatives, vowel inventories, with focus on vowel length and palatal
prosodies, and tone, including downstep and consonant-tone interaction.
Morphological topics include pluralization, both verbal (= “pluractional”) and
nominal, and verbal extensions or their functional equivalents, including
causative, ventive, partitive, and intransitive copy pronouns. Grammatical
topics treated are grammatical gender, genitives and determiners, pronominal
systems, verb valence, tense-aspect-mood (TAM) including imperative formation,
subject-verb agreement, and basic word order. Russell Schuh (1941–2016), the
author of the book, was Distinguished Professor of Linguistics as UCLA. The
volume was edited and prepared for publication by Paul Newman, Distinguished
Professor of Linguistics, Emeritus and Adjunct Professor of Law at Indiana
University.
