Abstract:

This volume explores the rich and complex pattern of morphosyntactic
variation in the Bantu languages, providing a comprehensive overview
of the wealth of empirical and conceptual work in the field. The
chapters discuss data from some 80 Bantu languages as well as drawing
on a wider comparative set of more than 200 languages from across
Central, Eastern and Southern Africa: some studies focus on one
specific language in a comparative context; some investigate
fine-grained variation among a close-knit group of languages; and
others present large-scale comparative studies spanning the whole of
the Bantu-speaking area. The contributors address a range of topics
from a micro-variation perspective, primarily in the areas of nominal
and verbal morphology and syntax and information structure. The volume
highlights key aspects of contemporary research in Bantu morphosyntax
and outlines distinct and novel approaches to prominent questions; it
combines the most recent thinking on morphosyntactic variation in
Bantu with different theoretical and methodological approaches and
novel empirical data from a wide range of languages.
