A phonological analysis of verbal derivation in Cibemba, a language of Zambia

author’s note:
Humburi Senni is the Songhay (soNoy, sonrai) language spoken around
Hombori, between Gao and Mopti in Mali.
This version is very lumpy, and not just because page breaks and
realignment of examples has yet to be done. I recently made important changes
in the analysis of tones, and in the notation for the same, and have so far
incorporated these changes chiefly in the tonology section of the phonology
chapter and in parts of the nominal morphology chapter. So there are many
inconsistencies, and I must insist that nothing be quoted without my permission
(during my lifetime). I hope to greatly improve the manu ... Читать дальше »

I bought this one several years ago and then I found it online, as tends to happen often with 19th c. reprints.

I enjoy it primarily because it is bilingual. However, my enthusiasm for it was dampened when a Kenyan friend told me it was riddled with mistakes.

As my Swahili abilities are rather middling, I'm curious whether that is true, or whether some of the "mistakes" are merely Zanzibari variety.

You're welcome to comment!

Le munukutuba est ce que l’on peut appeler le « kikongo » du Congo-Brazzaville. Encore que « kikongo » ne soit pas le terme approprié. Et nous le verrons plus loin. C’est une des deux langues nationales parlées dans ce pays. Il porte plusieurs dénominations11. Les lettrés congolais l’appellent « kitouba » ou l’écrivent « kituba ». Mais les locuteurs eux-mêmes préfèrent le terme « munukutuba », le « u » se lit « ou ». Nous emploierons le terme « munukutuba », à l’exclusion de tous les autres.

I am not going to appraise the value of that book. It is enough to say that for the past hundred year (exactly!) the grammar has been evaluated as a fundamental work, a monumental book etc. No grammar of Ethiopic could replace it up to now. There is no Semitist, no scholar interested in Hamito-Semitic linguistics who wouldn't praise that book. It is the largest Ethiopic Grammar both in German (original language version) as in English (translation of Critchton). It is a must for a person seriously interested in Ethiopic (I mean, Ge'ez) langu ... Читать дальше »
