Abstract:

This volume focuses on Bantu and the other Bantoid languages of
southern Cameroon. This region served as the cradle of the Bantu
Expansion, where the Bantu populations separated from the other
Bantoid groups. As a result, there are important historical questions
about linguistic relationships between Bantu and Bantoid. The chapters
explore these questions through new approaches to language
classification, verb morphology and tense-aspect marking.
