Swahili and the Bantu Languages
The Bantu languages are spoken across vast areas of Central, Eastern and Southern Africa and dominate the southern half of the African continent. In their geographical extent, they come into contact with representatives of all the other major African language families: Afroasiatic and Nilo-Saharan languages in the north-east, Khoisan in the south (and disputably in the north-east due to the presence of Sandawe in Tanzania) and its closest relativ…

Throughout much of the history of linguistics, grammaticality judgments - intuitions about the well-formedness of sentences - have constituted most of the empirical base against which theoretical hypothesis have been tested. Although such judgments often rest on subtle intuitions, there is no systematic methodology for eliciting them, and their apparent instability and unreliability have led many to conclude that they should be abandoned as a sou…

Universal Grammar and Narrative Form
In a major rethinking of the functions, methods, and aims of narrative poetics, David Herman exposes important links between modernist and postmodernist literary experimentation and contemporary language theory.
