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.

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
