Ideophones are typically described as “marked words that depict sensory imagery” (Dingemanse 2011, 25). This paper addresses ideophone data from three Luhya languages: Llogoori, Lunyore, and Lutiriki (Bantu, Kenya). Our primary claim is descriptive: we show that there is a closed class of (previously undescribed) Luhya ideophones. We illustrate how the Luhya data is consistent with what is know...
Abstract This article presents the Bantu relative agreement (BRA) cycle, a scenario of recurrent morphosyntactic change that involves emergence relativizers, which are subsequently integrated into verb form, where they can ultimately replace original subject prefix. All logical outcomes at every stage cycle amply attested in languages family. The BRA makes sense many puzzling characteristics cl...
Utilizing corpora to build morphological analyzers for the purposes of computational application has been addressed in many different ways. Methods for automated morphological analysis generally focus on segmentation from raw text, and ignore the actual learning of what morpheme features are present. Other methods are time-consuming and require a great deal of prior knowledge of the language su...
For more than 30 years, there have been renewed interests in computational morphology resulting in numerous morphological tools. However the interest has always been on the politically and economically interesting languages of the world resulting in a wide language divide between the technologically rich and poor languages. Kinyarwanda language, a Bantu language spoken in East Africa is one of ...
Here, we present 12 loci paternal haplotypes (Y-STR profiles) against the backdrop of the Y-SNP marker system of Bantu males from the Maputo Province of Southeast Africa, a region believed to represent the southeastern fringe of the Bantu expansion. Our Maputo Bantu group was analyzed within the context of 27 geographically relevant reference populations in order to ascertain its genetic relati...
A consensus on Bantu-speaking populations being genetically similar has emerged in the last few years, but the demographic scenarios associated with their dispersal are still a matter of debate. The frontier model proposed by archeologists postulates different degrees of interaction among incoming agropastoralist and resident foraging groups in the presence of "static" and "moving" frontiers. B...
Abstract This paper explores the middle voice in Kagulu, a Bantu language of Tanzania. Although not traditionally recognized languages, recent research has asserted that is attested some languages. We propose eight affixes might be considered markers, Kagulu two are part system, each one coding different detransitivizing voices. argue that, from diachronic viewpoint, underdeveloped syncretism K...
Lexical information for South African Bantu languages is not readily available in the form of machine-readable lexicons. At present the availability of lexical information is restricted to a variety of paper dictionaries. These dictionaries display considerable diversity in the organisation and representation of data. In order to proceed towards the development of reusable and suitably standard...
This paper explores cues to contour tone perception in Med0mba, a Grassfields Bantu language of Cameroon. Like many Bantu languages, Med0mba contrasts only level high (H) and low (L) tones, but contour tones can result where H and L tones associate to a single syllable. Here, we examine the relative influence of vowel duration and tonal slope in Med0mba speakers’ perception of contour tones, as...
