The semantics and pragmatics of polysemous body-part nouns in Kiswahili
This article investigates the semantics and pragmatics of polysemous body-part nouns in Kiswahili, focusing on kichwa ‘head’, mkono ‘hand/arm’, jicho ‘eye’ and uso ‘face’. Utilizing a cognitive-linguistic approach, this study views polysemy as a meaningful phenomenon rooted in physical experience rather than merely a disjointed set of meanings. The study is based on secondary sources of data collected from reputable dictionaries, published lingui…
Examining the status of object markers in Rombo-Kiseri
This article examines the syntactic status of object marking in Rombo-Kiseri, a variety of a Bantu language, Rombo (E623), spoken in the Kilimanjaro region, Tanzania. The article contributes to the documentation of main syntactic properties of object marking, and proposes that object markers in Rombo-Kiseri are best analysed as hybrid morphemes. The findings demonstrate that in Rombo-Kiseri, the co-occurrence of object markers with lexical object…

Locative subject alternation constructions show variation within and across languages in terms of subject agreement pattern and the type of predicates involved.

The examined examples demo…
