Abstract:

This volume is the first in what hopefully will be a growing set of edited
volumes and monographs concerning Niger-Congo comparative studies. This first
volume addresses matters that are relevant to the entire East Benue-Congo
family as well as the particular branches Kainji, Plateau, and Bantoid. In the
case of Bantoid, the particular focus is on Grassfields and the
Grassfields-Bantu borderland, though other Bantoid subgroups are referenced.
The potential topics for comparative studies among these languages are
numerous, but this volume is dedicated to presentations on nominal affixes,
third person pronouns, and verbal extensions. A forthcoming volume will
provide some results of reconstructions and lexicostatistics in Cross River,
exploratory reconstructions in Southern Jukunoid, and reconstructions in
Ekoid-Mbe and Mambiloid.
