  • Interior Vowels in Complete [ATR] Systems of the Macro-Sudan Belt

    Open AccessNadezhda V MakeevaARTICLEVestnik of Saint Petersburg…2024

    The paper presents a typological overview of interior vowels in complete [ATR] systems of the Macro-Sudan Belt. Interior vowels are defined as vowel qualities within the interior regions of the vowel space and include front rounded vowels, all non-low central vowels and unrounded non-low back vowels. Complete [ATR] systems are defined as those systems where there is a cross-height contrast for the feature [ATR] (advanced tongue root) for non-low …

  • Noun Classes and Agreement in Dawida

    Nadezhda V Makeeva, Irina RyabovaARTICLELanguage Matters2022

    This article presents an overview of the Dawida noun class system, which consists of 15 classes and 4 subclasses. Each of the 15 main classes is a set of nouns that take the same nominal prefix and have common agreement paradigms. Subclasses trigger the same agreement as the main classes they refer to, but have different nominal prefixes. The opposition between singularity and plurality in Dawida only occurs in the system of noun classes. Among 1…

  • Phonological and acoustic properties of ATR in the vowel system of Akebu (Kwa)

    Open AccessNadezhda Makeeva, Nadezhda V Makeeva et al.ARTICLEPhonology2022

    This study examines phonological and phonetic properties of ATR contrasts in the vowel system of Akebu (Kwa). The sum of descriptive evidence, including vowel harmony, vowel distribution in non-harmonising contexts, vowel reduction and typological and etymological considerations, indicates a rare vowel inventory with an ATR contrast in front/back vowels but a height contrast in the three redundantly [−ATR] central vowels /ᵻ, ə, a/. This analysis …

  • Phonetic and phonological properties of the advanced tongue root feature in African languages

    Nadezhda Makeeva, Nadezhda V MakeevaARTICLEVoprosy Jazykoznanija2022

    The paper presents an overview of the ATR (advanced tongue root) feature, which is fairly widespread among the Niger-Congo and Nilo-Saharan languages of the Macro-Sudan Belt. The phonetic section provides a description of the articulatory and acoustic correlates of the feature. The review of the articulatory basis of the feature is presented in a historical perspective, from the fi rst cineradiographic studies of the 1960s till the laryngoscopic …

  • Numerals in Akebu

    Open AccessNadezhda Makeeva, Nadezhda V Makeeva et al.ARTICLEOpen Linguistics2020

    This article presents an overview of the numeral system in Akebu, a Kwa language of Togo. The Akebu numeral system is a decimal one and contains simple numerals from ‘1’ to ‘9’ and decimal bases for ‘10’, ‘100’, and ‘1,000’. The former have noun class agreement markers, while the latter do not. Only some noun classes are compatible with numerals, but among them there are both plural and singular classes

  • Ditransitive constructions in Akebu

    Open AccessNadezhda Makeeva, Nadezhda V Makeeva et al.ARTICLEStudies in Language2020

    This paper contributes to the typology of ditransitive constructions. Akebu (Kwa, Ghana-Togo mountain, West Africa) has four strategies of alignment of ditransitive verbs, if both theme and recipient objects are expressed: a neutral strategy, a possessive-like strategy, a strategy with a pronominal reprise and a ‘take’ serial verb construction strategy. The possessive-like strategy that is most standard in Akebu is rare in a cross-linguistic pers…
