The Nuer vowel grade system
In Nuer, a highly fusional and predominantly monosyllabic West Nilotic language, morphology is expressed primarily by stem-internal changes that affect vowel quality, voice quality, tone, vowel length and the stem-final consonant. This paper focuses on the interrelated alternations in vowel quality and voice quality, showing how these two parameters are used to encode inflection and derivation. Because the relation between the sets of the partici…
Nuer has a floating suprasegmental component consisting of quantity and tone
It is well-attested that floating tones can associate across a word boundary, but it is typologically unusual for floating weight units to do so. The Nuer language presents a floating suprasegmental component (FSC), which is part of lexical morphemes, and includes a unit of quantity and a High tone. This component is located at the left edge of nouns and is realised primarily across a word boundary on a preceding vowel. This article examines the …

“One is not in control in dreams”: Reading Dionne Brand’s Notes to Belonging
Drawing attention to the subtitle of Dionne Brand’s 2001 nonfiction book A Map to the Door of No Return: Notes to Belonging, this article traces the author’s comparison between diaspora and “bad dreams,” as arranged in fragments and shaped by transhistorical logics of captivity. I stage a collision between notes and dreams, two of A Map to the Door of No Return’s many literary contours, in order to accentuate the author’s powerful critique of the…
Nuer
Nuer (ISO 6393: nus/Glottocode: nuer1246) is a Nilo-Saharan language (Nilo-Saharan, Eastern Sudanic, Nilotic, Western, Dinka-Nuer). The sound system of Nuer is of particular interest because the language has a rich inventory of vocalic and suprasegmental distinctions, including a large number of vowel phonemes, a voice quality contrast (modal versus breathy), three levels of vowel length, and a tonal inventory that interacts with the voice qualit…

Neon paratexts: Reading M. NourbeSe Philip reading
This essay reads poet M. NourbeSe Philip reading. I consider how her book She Tries Her Tongue, Her Silence Softly Breaks, its problematizations of a gendered reading practice, extends into the collective and durational performances of Zong!. Ultimately I broaden the literary idea of paratextuality, those metalanguages, framings, and surroundings of a published book, those thresholds around texts in order to engage a reading of Philip's readings,…
Nominal inflection classes in verbal paradigms
It is not uncommon for inflected nominal forms to be incorporated into verbal paradigms, as in Imonda progressive construction tōbtō soh-ia ale-f 'he is looking for fish (lit. fish search-loc stay-prs)', where the verbal noun 'search' is in the locative case. Equally, nominal inflection classes are not uncommon. But the two rarely cooccur. We present two case studies (the only examples we are aware of) as a contribution to the typology of inflect…
