Books: Bantoid and Bantu in Cameroon: Grollemund, Nurse, and Watters (eds.) (2026)
This volume focuses on Bantu and the other Bantoid languages of southern Cameroon. This region served as the cradle of the Bantu Expansion, where the Bantu populations separated from the other Bantoid groups. As a result, there are important historical questions about linguistic relationships between Bantu and Bantoid. The chapters explore these questions through new approaches to language classification, verb morphology and tense-aspect marking.

Review: General Linguistics, Language Documentation, Morphology: Assibi A. Amidu (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) (2026)
SUMMARY
Despite being the most widely spoken Bantu language, Swahili has not consistently been subjected to the same degree of linguistic research as Indo-European linguistic varieties. Assibi Amidu’s “Auxiliary Verbs and Main Verbs in Kiswahili” attempts to fill this gap by focusing on a singular morphosyntactic phenomenon: the definition, status, and distribution of the auxiliary and semi-auxiliary verbs in Swahili. In doing so, this book is organized into five chapters of variable length w

Confs: Translation, Space and Power
In an age of intensified interconnectedness and "time-space compression" (Harvey, 1989), translation emerges both as a situated practice and a force that reshapes cultural geographies. It is not only a linguistic act, but a cultural, political and economic one. This has always been the case historically, but the current pace of technological and political developments is generating ripples of change at unprecedented speed. Translation inhabits and constructs spaces—urban and rural, central and p
