African languages from a role and reference grammar perspective : : Studies on the Syntax-Semantics-Pragmatics Interface / / edited by Jens Fleischhauer, Claudius Patrick Kihara.
The volume is a collection of papers which apply Role & Reference Grammar (RRG) to African languages. RRG is a functional theory of syntax which has been developed on the basis of two leading questions: First, how would a syntactic theory look like which starts from 'exotic' languages...

African languages from a role and reference grammar perspective : Studies on the Syntax-Semantics-Pragmatics Interface / edited by Jens Fleischhauer, Claudius Patrick Kihara. Boston : De Gruyter, 2023. 1 online resource (201 pages) : illustrations text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Description based on print version record. The volume is a collection of papers which apply Role & Reference Grammar (RRG) to African languages. RRG is a functional theory of syntax which has been developed on the basis of two leading questions: First, how would a syntactic theory look like which starts from 'exotic' languages rather than English? Second, how can the interaction between syntax, semantics and pragmatics in different grammatical systems best modelled and explained? Although RRG took linguistic diversity serious from its very beginning, African languages have been underrepresented in the development of the theory. Given the sheer number African languages deserve a wider coverage in a syntactic theory which takes linguistic diversity seriously. The volume is intended to fill this gap and comprises a selection of papers which investigate different aspects related to the syntax-semantics-pragmatics interface of different African languages. This includes: argument doubling and dislocation in iziZulu, complex referential phrases in Gĩkũyũ, serial verb constructions in Igbo, locative complements in Hausa and Zarma Chiine and focus constructions in Emai. The papers will extent the current RRG approach to new languages and phenomena. African languages Grammar. 3-11-079534-5 Fleischhauer, Jens, editor. Kihara, Claudius Patrick, editor. |
