Full textThe grammar is presented in four chapiters : "the morpho-syntax of predication", "the nominal expression", "the verbal expression" and "variations due to discourse features in the utterance". In "morpho- syntax of predication", the inventory of syntactic patterns permits the identification of the clause structure, including the syntactic places (predicative, subject, object and circumstant) and the consti- tuents (nominal and verbal) occuping these places. The study of the nominal expression starts with the noum class affixes, based on the dual reality of class and gender. Following this comes the analisis of each of the four types of nominal expressions identified : the noum, the pronoum, the numeral and the nominal phrase. The study of the verbal expression begins with a presentation of verbal forms systematised in the classical manner of the bantuists. It continues with a analysis on two levels, based on the division between the verbal constituent of the predicative structure and the modification of this verbal constituent whic is part of the discourse structure. The final chapiter presents the variations on the internal and the external aspects of the predicative structure of the clause

Full textThis PhD focuses on the proto-Bantu lexicons that were reconstructed by Meeussen & Guthrie. It aims to define the phonological structure of the lexical units on the basis of the frequencies of the reconstructed segmental and supra-segmental co-occurrences. Once the general tendencies and phonotactic constraints are described, various questions are addressed regarding the segmental reconstructions and the processes of assimilation and dissimilation. The emphasized constraints between tones and initial consonant indicate that the frequency of co-occurrence of the bilabial voiced consonant *b with tone H rather supports an analysis in terms of implosive rather than explosive consonant. The imbalance between the velar consonant *g and tones, as well as its similarities with the palatal consonant *y both suggest that this consonant *g was experiencing a process of weakening during the Proto-Bantu period; this process was partly favoured by the high tone. The voiced palatal consonant would in fact represent several entities: a fully palatal segment (fricative or affricate) and a second entity gathering together i) etymons with a vowel in initial position, ii) etymons with a velar initial consonant and iii) etymons having integrated a prefixed element. The constraints between distant segments have shown that vowel harmony had not been reconstructed in a regular way in Proto-Bantu. The nominal themes seem to undergo an unfinished process and do not apparently echoe the rules applied to modern languages. A relation of dependency emerges from co-occurrences of consonants and leads to a differenciation of the places of articulation and a levelling of voicing. The process of dissimilation also known as Dahl's rule was likely induced by the former constraints

Full textThis study attempts to bring new elements to bear on a certain number of questions about migration paths of the bantu peoples. The first part presents a synthesis of advances and results in the relevant literature as well as their contributions to bantu studies. The corpus studied consists of fish names collected in over thirty languages of Gabon. In the second part a certain number of general organising principles of the folk taxonomy are sketched out. The third part is devoted to a study of the evolution of aspects of the phonological and noun prefixes systems in the languages of Gabon and their relation to classic proto-bantu. We obtain virtuel reconstructions, abstract words composed of probable proto-bantu phonemes, for each reflex in a given language. The etymon is then determined through the comparison of the virtuel reconstructions attested in different languages. Finally, three zones are identified : the north, the south and the south-east. In general, the migration paths which emerge from the present work are in accord with those from oral tradition and archeology

Full textThis thesis proposes an ethnolinguistical analysis of the status and functions of music in the kwakum society of east-Cameroon. The first part presents geographically and culturally this population and gives a brief description of their language. The second part, devoted to music, gives informations about : kwakum lexicon and conceptionof music; instruments and instrumental skills; musical performances and repertories, funerals. This allows to consider certain fundamental aspects of kwakum music : the primacy of vocal music on instrumental music; the predominance of rythmic instruments on melodic instruments; the evolution of musical practices wich tend to get centered on collective performances, on a single repertoire which includes most of traditional repertoires, and on the roud dance. Beyond of music's functions, this study also reveals several characteristic socio-cultural facts like : the attachement to ancestors worship role and the symbolic role of the river; the importance of the feminine secret society which is charged to protect the village

Full textEast african age-classes systems have mostly been studied among pastoralist peoples, and have been regarded as a kind of organisation more involved in ritual matters than in anything else. The study of such a system among the Meru of Kenya who are mainly agriculturalists, shows that this kind of organisation is not linked with an economical specialization. Moreover the search of the rules which operate into the class system, allows to explain the working of these classes, which in fact are generation based, and the ways they are related to the other aspects of the social organization. Eventually, an unusual historical and demographical approach of this kind of structure is brought by the cross-study of the oral traditions and the colonial archives

Full textThis study is an attempt to experiment with the classification of Sub-Saharan African literature in the light of “cultural areas”, a perspective which was first applied at the international conference “Aires Culturelles et Création Littéraire en Afrique” organised by the UNESCO. From this point of view, Equatorial Africa, which is an area of Bantu culture, and West Africa, which is an area of Sudano-Sahelian culture, make up two distinct frames of reference, even though they are considered as a homogeneous literary group by literary criticism. In the first part several methodological questions are tackled—the main current trends of African literary criticism are based on the historic approach related to the colonial context and the period of independence. They all bear a common trait: the monolithic vision of literary facts. To the global eye, unity appears as something obvious. Problems arising from national literatures, which are supposed to reflect diversity and plurality, conform to the colonial partition of Africa, which has given birth to the balkanisation of this continent. A classification by linguistic areas has emerged from the partitioning of Africa in regions of European influence. An intercultural comparison stands out as a new perspective, which has the advantage of considering African literature as a two-fold entity of unity and diversity. The question that the second part tries to answer is: what does the African literary unity consist of? The cross-section study of two themes: the impact of Black-African spiritual memory on writing and the representation of modern political power are supported by facts which make unity to be perceived as objective. The primitive spirituality that has traditionally justified the African look on the world is an amazing source of spiritual imagery which pervades literature by means of a variety of forms, genres and techniques. This spirituality coexists with the rational discourse in a relation of interference. In the third part, the analysis focuses on the “literary conscience” of literary works—this notion implies both the conscience of a common African identity and, at the same time, the Bantu tribal conscience, for the works of writers coming from Equatorial Africa, and the Sudano-Sahelian tribal conscience, for the works of writers coming from West Africa. Some differences between an “equato-Bantu”-inspired literature and a Sahelian-inspired literature, both with their own characteristics, are then unveiled through a myriad of centres of interest in an internal coherence which justifies literary regional specificities

Full textThis thesis is a departure from the traditional archaeological pottery analysis in Kenya, where emphasis has been on decorations and forms. It uses a technological approach to offer additional information on Bantu pottery whose social boundary has been a cause of disagreement between different researchers. Pottery decorations and forms have been/are still powerful instruments in defining archaeological spatial and temporal distribution of prehistoric populations, but the ability of these attributes as social boundary markers is limited by their overt visibility on the finished product. Whilst this explicit visibility is an advantage for archaeologists who seek to explore temporal and spatial distributions of different wares, it is also disadvantageous since it makes it possible for communities which are socially, ethnically, and linguistically distinct to copy from each other hence making these two salient pottery features unreliable indicators of social boundaries. Therefore, this study puts emphasis on the forming stage, which is not obvious on the finished product and must be learnt by apprenticeship only through kinship, as demonstrated by numerous ethnographic studies. Using chaîne opératoire as an analytical tool for archaeological material and ethnographic, experimental and ethno-historical data as reference and interpretive tools, this study sought to establish the social boundaries of makers of Tana ware which is a disputed Iron Age pottery of Bantu speakers. Some archaeologists attribute its origins to Bantu speakers whilst others attribute it to Cushitic speakers. Archaeological data was collected from Manda and Ungwana sites assemblages and ethnographic reference data was collected from Cushitic and Bantuspeakers from the Coastal and Highland regions of Kenya. Ethno-historical data was derived from library resources while experimental data were obtained from the field. This study demonstrated that due to the nature of archaeological peopling and interactions which exposed different ethnolinguistic groups to material cultures of the other, borrowing of cultural traits took place causing distinct populations to have pottery of similar decorations and forms. It has also demonstrated that pottery chaîne opératoire can show population continuity or discontinuity from archaeological to modern times. Most importantly, this thesis has demonstrated that Tana ware has its origins from Bantu speakers, and that its decorations have their origins from Cushitic speakers. It has also confirmed the movement of Meru ethnic group from the Coast of Kenya to Mt. Kenya region, by providing tangible data to linguistic, historical and oral evidences. The last part of this work gives directions of future research on pottery analysis in Kenya, and outlines some questions pertaining to Bantu and Cushitic speakers which remain to be answered

Full textThe main proposal of this doctoral dissertation is an insightful study of the historical, linguistic and anthropological transformations of the Makina, an ethnic group of Northern and Eastern Gabon. These transformations are referred to the change, during the last century, of the original ethnonym as well as that of the language, of matrimonial rules, and finally of clan and person naming. On the whole, the author’s demonstration leads to the evidence of a rhythmical pattern in change, even a polyrhythmical one, as the differences in speed between different components of an ethnic group may be interpreted as a multi rhythmical transformation system. 81 genealogical diagrams and over 747 individual data collected on fieldwork give strong support to the different aspects of the author’s thesis

Full textAt a time when Angola looks into the raw material resources and democracy as the opportunities for development, it is urgent to pause on the question of human resources. A true development necessarily means the promotion of the human person and its lived culture through the dialectics of life and death. Our research on "Cultural Exclusion and Salvation in Jesus Christ in the present context of Angola" takes man in his cultural and religious conditions. So, facing exclusion as a denial of the humaneness of the other and the salvation promised to all men, we propose an inclusion as a salvific force laid down by Jesus the Messiah and as announced in the Gospels, the inclusion to realise in all modes : political, social, religious and cultural. In proposing inclusion as a paradigm of salvation, we emphasize on the mission of the Church which is essentially an active witness of Jesus Christ of which the pro-existence reveals the face of inclusive love of God understood as the mercy and a total gift of life

Dans chaque village, l’enquête s’est déroulée en deux étapes :la première sur les maladies soignées, les plantes et les recettes utilisées en médecine traditionnelle populaire et la seconde sur les maladies soignées, les plantes et les recettes utilisées en médecine traditionnelle spécialisée. Les informations relatives à la médecine traditionnelle populaire ont été récoltées au cours d’entretiens collectifs en utilisant un questionnaire semi-structuré, tandis que celles relatives à la médecine traditionnelle spécialisée ont été collectées au cours d’entretiens directs en utilisant le même type de questionnaire.
Au total, 133 affections sont soignées en médecine traditionnelle par les pygmées et les bantous de Bikoro. Elles font intervenir 205 espèces botaniques et 976 recettes. En médecine traditionnelle populaire, les pygmées soignent 42 affections, utilisent 73 espèces botaniques et emploient 150 recettes. Les bantous soignent 41 affections, utilisent 62 espèces botaniques et 128 recettes. En médecine traditionnelle spécialisée, les pygmées soignent 54 affections, utilisent 74 espèces botaniques et 151 recettes. Les spécialistes bantous soignent 119 affections, utilisent 185 espèces botaniques et 704 recettes.

Abstract
In the Democratic republic of Congo, the national economic crisis, the devaluation of the Congolese franc and the wars of the last decades involved an increasing dependence of the populations of the cities and rural areas with respect to traditional medicine. Two types of traditional medicines are practiced by the bantus (Oto) and the pygmies (Twa) of Bikoro. Popular traditional medicine, that is to say the one known to the majority of the village population, and specialized traditional medicine, which is only practiced by specialists (Healers).
An ethnobotanic investigation on plant use in traditional medicine by the Bantus and the pygmies was carried out in 10 villages of the territory of Bikoro, during 11 months. In each village, the investigation proceeded in two stages: the first concerning the treated diseases, as well as the plants and the recipes used in popular traditional medicine and the second concerning the treated on the looked after diseases, as well as the plants and the recipes used in specialized traditional medicine. The information relative to popular traditional medicine were collected during collective meetings with the help of a semi-structured questionnaire, while those relating to specialized traditional medicine were collected during direct interviews with the same type of questionnaire.
On the whole, 133 affections are treated in traditional medicine by the pygmies and the Bantu of Bikoro. They make use of 205 botanical species and 976 recipes. In popular traditional medicine, the pygmies Twa address 42 affections, use 73 botanical species and employ 150 recipes. The Bantu (Oto) address 41 affections use 62 botanical species and 128 recipes. In specialized traditional medicine, the pygmies address 54 affections, use 74 botanical species and 151 recipes. The specialists Bantu address 119 affections use 185 botanical species and 704 recipes.
In the Bikoro region, both Bantus (Oto) and pygmies (Twa) do use the same plant parts, the same modes of preparing drogues and the same processes of administering drogues in their respective popular traditional medicine. There are differences in plant species used and drogue types prepared by each community. If the Twa pygmies and their neighbors Oto use the plant parts and the same processes in administering drogues in their specialized medical practices, there is, nevertheless, a significant difference between types of treated diseases, utilized plant species and prepared drogues between the two communities.
This study made possible the characterization of the territory of Bikoro concerning its recourse to traditional medicine and highlighted the existence of flows of plant uses between popular traditional medicine (bantu and pygmy) and specialized traditional medicine (bantu and pygmy).
Key words: Plants, popular traditional Medicine, specialized traditional Medicine, Bantus, Pygmies, Bikoro.

Full textIn the era of globalization, it is important to reflect on the realities that make this globalization possible. In the study of the social facts, the body becomes one of the foundations of socialization in societies referred to as traditional, but also in the modern societies. The traditional wedding of Bantu is one of the social practices of the body that, even today, resists the models imposed inside and outside of this culture. We are asking ourselves constantly about the reasons of this resistance. To understand, we have privileged the participating observation of the all ceremonial path, giving rise to this reality by the Kongo people of Angola, through an incursion in the history and his culture. We have also taken the option of interviews in a spirit of discovering and to have an open mind. Without closing the door to the new world and in consonance to the social evolution, the body resistance of the traditional wedding in Kongo is characterized as a crossbred body. Our interaction has been guided by the following words: body, wedding, resistance, family, society, state, church, identity, relationship and crossbreeding

Full textThis PhD-dissertation is a study of Orungu, a Bantu language classified as B11b by M. Guthrie and spoken by a Ngwè-myènè people (or Myènè according to the administrative denomination) in the Ogooué Maritime province of Western Gabon. It presents a first descriptive study of the language and offers a general view of its grammar. It describes the most important segmental and supra-segmental or tonal features of its phonology, morphology and syntax. The first part is a description of the phonemes of Orungu, its noun class system, and its typical consonant mutations. The second part deals with the nominal and verbal morphology and the role tone plays at this level. The establishment of tone schemes results in a demonstration of the processes involved in the derivation of definite nouns from indefinite nouns. The description of the verb morphology is focussed on verbal derivation strategies and on the complex TAM-system involved in the verbal conjugation. The third and final part is a study of the post-lexical tone system and describes the mutations that lexical tone schemes undergo when they occur in certain tonal contexts and/or certain syntactical constructions.

Full textThis thesis follows my field work carried out from 2007 to 2010 in a village located in the south eastern part of Zanzibar Island, part of the Swahili area and peopled by farmers and fishermen. The way the village became populated is related to the creation and the dynamics of the Swahili society in an afro-centred perspective so as to analyse the reasons for and the modes of the population's conversion to Islam. Over the years the peoples have secured their faith in Islam in a selective way, which has kept the traditional system of representation and thinking alive. The contemporary reconstitution within the community is scrutinized through the organisation of the village, its social life and Bantu traditions as well as the Islamic religion pulsing the population's daily life. This society, in constant evolution, keeps its own free will by safeguarding a cultural multiplicity (place and role of the ancestors, cults of possession…) and by accepting Islamic elements to be part and parcel of their community, which has made it both richer and stronger in terms of social cohesion and moral values. The fully-detailed magic and witchcraft practices at the core of the demonstration reveal that the collective imagination is deeply rooted in a magic base which keeps accounting for the phenomena of diseases, ill-fortune and so on, despite the sincere Muslim religious beliefs of the inhabitants. Magic and witchcraft, commonplace in their everyday life, are made up of a juxtaposition or an assembly of rituals initiated by some opportunistic magic which resorts to Islam (diverse manipulations of the Koran) in order to strengthen Bantu practices when necessary and to legitimize acts far from being compliant with religious tenets. The dynamics of African and Islamic witchcraft is being enhanced by new sociological data (a heightened sense of covetousness and jealousy, a steady rise in individualism and the ancestors gradually losing their clout). The present thesis, suggests in a relativist perspective that the daily representations remain firmly anchored in the African Bantu matrix as an access to the truth of the world and that the complex and multifaceted compromises with Islam through some « cross-fertilization » system contribute to maintaining a social and spiritual equilibrium and to advocating some compatibility between the different thinking patterns in a community which has refused to choose between the two of them

La description phonologique signale la présence de certains phonèmes étrangers au système proto-bantou (implosives et labiovélaires) fonctionnant non comme des allophones mais des phonèmes distincts de leurs correspondants explosifs et vélaires dans plusieurs langues. Ainsi l’examen de ces éléments ou des traits linguistiques particuliers indique qu’ils seraient des emprunts aux langues oubanguiennes voisines.
Somme toute, Il apparaît que les particularités linguistiques actuelles au niveau segmental, suprasegmental (que nous n’avons pas abordé) et structural des langues bantoues de l’entre Congo-Ubangi seraient liées, en partie, au contact autant dans le passé qu’au présent avec les locuteurs des langues non bantoues, notamment oubanguiennes.
Les emprunts lexicaux, par exemple, révèlent à la fois des emprunts de bantu vers les langues oubanguiennes et des langues oubanguiennes vers le bantu.
Néanmoins, les preuves historiques et archéologiques sur la date et la nature de ces relations de contact est assez faible et nécessite des études interdisciplinaires dans le futur.

Full textDespite of the incomplete and eurocentric aspect of the written, iconographic and museographical sources, the coming of the Europeans in Southern Africa had deep consequences in the evolution of the material culture of the indigenous populations. The success of most of the new foreign products : metals, glass beads, tobacco, clothing, fire-arms. . . Should be considered according to previous realities charcterised by a great receptivity, and to the capacity of each society to perceive and use those products as a "progress". It appears that this "progress" was not oriented towards a better material confort, neither towards a greater technical knowledge, but rather to improve human relationship between individus. The various european bringings gave way to the development of craftmanships and to original african art traditions. On the opposite, the Europeans were quite passive. The colonists which were living about the south african frontier were even influenced by the african materialm culture, althought it is not always admitted

Full textThe present work is a linguistic description of the Shiwa, a Bantu language of northeastern Gabon. The thesis has three parts preceded by a general introduction. It places the Shiwa and Shiwa in their geographical, sociolinguistic and sociocultural environment. The introduction also presents the data used and the conditions of their collection.Phonetics and phonology part use the functionalist perspective. Shiwa has many phonetic realisations, a complex phonological system and six tones. Phonetic complexity is related to the monosyllabisation. It generates complex consonants, palatalized, labialized, affricates, centralized and nasalized vowels. The phonological system has multiple mechanisms of free, combinatorial and contextual variations.The morphology is based on the London School methods. It brings to light a system with classical Bantu agreements system. However, the language has few classes and agreements marks. It uses the same singular prefixes for all classes.The lexicon contain 1104 words, transcribed, segmented, classified by class and linking to the audio Annex.In addition to the elements of linguistic description, the thesis includes a sound data. This contain a part of data collected during our investigations: ten hours of recordings on specialized lexicons, questionnaires and stories

Guerois, Rozenn. "A grammar of Cuwabo (Bantu P34, Mozambique)." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015LYO20032.
Full textCuwabo is a Bantu language, spoken by more than 800,000 people (INE 2007) in the north-eastern part of Mozambique. It is numbered P34 in Guthrie’s classification, and thus belongs to the P30 Makhuwa group. Cuwabo can be subdivided into five main varieties: central Cuwabo, Karungu, Mayindo, Nyaringa, and Manyawa. This work is based on central Cuwabo spoken in the district of Quelimane. First-hand data were recorded from 10 speakers in the course of three fieldtrips realised between 2011 and 2013, achieving a total duration of 10 months. This thesis provides a grammatical description of the language, covering in detail its phonology and its morphosyntax. Phonology is divided into two chapters: the first is devoted to segmental phonology whereas the second describes the tonal system of the language. Note that Cuwabo is the only P30 language whose nominal and verbal stems have retained a lexical tone contrast. Morphologically, the noun phrase is marked by a rich agreement system ruled by the noun classes, as typical in Bantu. Cuwabo has a highly agglutinative verbal morphology, which conveys a rich Tense-Aspect-Mood system combining both prefixes and final suffixes. Note the existence of several enclitics depending on the constructions (locative enclitics, personal pronoun enclitics in relative clauses, comitative or instrumental enclitics). The last three chapters address syntactic issues: the first presents a description of the basic clause structure, involving verbal and non-verbal predication; the second looks into the relative constructions in close interaction with question formation; the last one investigates word order and information structure in Cuwabo. Preverbal and postverbal constituents are examined, as well as their interaction with the morphological marking on the verb, distinguishing conjoint and disjoint tenses. The appendix contains seven Cuwabo texts glossed and translated into English, which allow to illustrate in context many of the grammatical items presented in the descriptive chapters

Full textThis thesis proposes a thorough analysis of the resilience of socio-environmental in two communities of hunter / gatherers, Baka and Bakola Cameroon. These communities formerly nomadic lived in the forest where they drew most of their life and survival. Today they have been displaced from their ancestral lands for the sake of creating protected areas, agro-industrial, forestry and execution of major mining projects, these communities are more than ever in touch Standing with "big black" or Bantu largely influence their lifestyle (hunting, gathering and fishing) and often determine their future. To cope with these changes, the government of Cameroon and national and international organizations through extensive programs accompany gradually Baka and Bakola to rebuild a new life that incorporates the requirements of "modernity. " Despite this support, these people are still under the influence of scourges such as alcoholism, disease, malnutrition, marginalization, in schooling, non-recognition of their rights, etc. . How do they cope with the changes occurring in their lives? The thesis aims to identify the different mutations, to describe and analyze the strategies established by the Baka and Bakola to adapt. Some mutations may appear on the surface without question a fundamental attachment to the forest and some ancestral values. However, different exogenous pressures (such as settlement, globalization) and endogenous (such as attitude of individuals, transmission) which determine the degree of progress of the various mutations should not be underestimated, as they are a threat to development. The concept of relience proves operative to evaluate the adequacy of policies accompanying minorities by the actors of development and a tool to understand the adaptability of these societies in rapid transition

Full textThis work studies the very diverse prosodic systems of east African bantu languages, on the basis of non-linear (autosegmental and metrical) phonology. We find a one end purely tonal systems (like kikuyu) and at the other end systems with purely demarcative penultimate stress, with all intermediate cases. After presenting the basic principles of autosegmental and metrical phonology and referring to previous works on the subject in our study area, we move to a classification and then to a typology of tonal and accentual processes, the interaction between tone accent and syntactic domains, etc. Finally, tonal correspondences with common bantu are established and a hypothesis is presented according to which the emergence of penultimate accent is the main cause of the evolution of these systems

Full textThe research proceeds by applications of formal methods to some bantu cultural archetypes. These one are of doxastic and linguistic types, or certain well-grounded discursive practices. First, the reconstruction of the argumentation general abstract's form proper to Bantu oral traditions reveals that the use of proverbs, as strategic premises in arguments, involves systematically the defeasibility of these later. This fact induces a kind of Non-Monotonicity of the inference ; that means this argumentation's form makes use of an unstable derivability relation. Next, the logical handling of statements relating to the "empty references", proper to Bantu languages, reveals that the notion of "being empty", although indicating some relative ontological vacuum, suggests that the ontological commitment of the existential quantifier depends on the speaker's localisation on the Time axis, and also on the cultural vision which informs the perception of epistemic agents. So, temporality and cultural schema of representation naturally affect the existential quantification's operation. Lastly, the modelling of the Bantu-Punu doxastic form relative to oneiric phenomenon has given the following results : 1°) the oneiric sphere is the way by which the epistemic agent and cognitive subject fills out his relation to the world and goes beyond the limits of the objective time by contracting the natural chronology of historical events ; 2°) in parallel, there is deduced an abstract form of time consisting in a branching frame. Some additional considerations take on the material implication's connective

The subject under study in this work are the expressions of bantu religiousness in Brazil, emphasizing the utopian form, that is, the desired and transitory form according to the view of Religion Sciences. We worked with the hypothesis that the religious expressions of the groups of bantu tradition in Brazil, throughout history, can be understood as forms of continuity, but we also understand that there is no such thing as a uniform whole, but that some aspects are recovered, others are discarded and yet others are transformed, as a way of achieving a symbolic reorganization. The formation of new religious expressions, such as umbanda, represented this attempt by people. To start, in a preliminary form, we touched the question of the bantu tradition. Then we talked about the Diaspora process and the transformation of the free African into a slave in Brazil. After that, we considered the period of slavery in Brazil, focusing on the relationship of the Catholic Church to slavery, talking about Afro-Brazilian practices of bantu tradition, during this period. Next we worked the periods pre and after abolition, when a new identity change happened, that is, from slavery to freedom. From this point on, we talked about umbanda; first as a bantu utopia, then we go on as almost a follow up of the Fifth Chapter, talking about the bantu aspects in umbanda nowadays. It is possible to state that, according to this work, we have achieved the following results: we have identified the influence of the bantu tradition in umbanda; we got the understanding of how people belonging to a specific tradition, in this case, the bantu tradition, have managed to give new meanings to their religious practices throughout time; and we have offered contribution for the understanding of hybrid religious practices, doing a first approximation in the sense of offering a reading key or a method to understand a diasporic tradition, in our case, from a bantu tradition standpoint. Specifically we have written about the creation of a method for the understanding of survivals translated from diasporic traditions
O objeto de estudo deste trabalho são as expressões da religiosidade bantú no Brasil, dando destaque à forma utópica, portanto à dimensão desejada e transitória dentro do enfoque das Ciências da Religião. Trabalhamos com a hipótese de que as expressões religiosas ao longo da história dos grupos de tradição bantú no Brasil podem ser entendidas como formas de continuidade, mas entendemos que não há a manutenção de um todo igual, mas que alguns aspectos são recuperados, outros descartados e outros, ainda, transformados como uma maneira de se buscar uma reorganização simbólica. A formação de novas expressões religiosas, como a umbanda, representou esta tentativa por parte das pessoas. Inicialmente, abordamos, de maneira propedêutica, a questão da tradição bantú. Em seguida, falamos a respeito do processo de diáspora e da transformação do africano livre em escravizado no Brasil. Depois, abordamos o período da escravidão no Brasil, focados na relação da Igreja Católica com a escravidão, falando a respeito de práticas afro-brasileiras de tradição bantú presentes nesse período. Em seguida, trabalhamos os períodos do pré e do pós-abolição, quando houve uma nova mudança identitária, isto é, de escravizados para libertos. A partir daí, falamos a respeito da umbanda; primeiro como uma utopia bantú, para depois, quase como uma continuidade do quinto capítulo, abordarmos os aspectos bantú na umbanda, mas, agora, na atualidade. É possível afirmar que com o presente trabalho chegamos aos seguintes resultados: identificamos a influência da tradição bantú na umbanda; proporcionamos o entendimento de como as pessoas que pertencem à determinada tradição, no caso a tradição bantú, ressignificaram as suas práticas religiosas ao longo do tempo; e oferecemos subsídios para a compreensão das práticas de hibridismo religioso, fazendo uma primeira aproximação no sentido de fornecer uma chave de leitura ou um método para a compreensão de uma tradição diaspórica, no nosso caso, a partir da tradição bantú. Falamos especificamente a respeito da criação de um método para o entendimento de sobrevivências traduzidas de tradições diaspóricas

Full textThis thesis provides an analysis of the phonological and morphosyntactic systems of Kwakum, a Bantu A90 language spoken in the East Region of Cameroon. The data analysed in this work was collected from Kwakum speakers living in Sibita, a village located in the Doume Subdivision. Kwakum has a series of 28 consonants, among which aspirated and labiovelars stops. Its seven-vowel system is marked by contrastive length. The tone analysis is based on the distinction H vs. L vs. 0. The noun class system is somewhat reduced and the correspondences between the Kwakum classes and those of Proto Bantu are still problematic. There are eight morphological classes, marking number, and five noun classes which determine agreement. There is also a default agreement pattern triggered by singular nouns. This suggests an ongoing breakdown of the noun class system. Noun class agreement can only be observed within the noun phrase. In connective constructions, the syntactic head is not necessarily the semantic head. Kwakum has “ambipositions”, used as prepositions with nominal complements and as postposition with pronominal complements. Tense marking involves the use of tense auxiliaries or affixes which may be combined with a replacive tone scheme assigned to the verb stem. Kwakum is a SVO language and also presents instances of non-verbal clauses involving two nouns or a noun/pronoun and a demonstrative. The appendices include a Kwakum-French lexicon and two texts transcribed glossed and time-aligned with audio

Full textThis dissertation is presenting a linguistic classification based on phylogenetic methods borrowed from biology. The sample of languages considered here belongs to the Bantu family, a linguistic sub branch of Niger-Congo languages spoken in Africa. Numerous publications have shown a complexity and the diversity of Bantu languages. Our study focus on the North-West region which includes the following countries: Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Congo and Democratic Republic of Congo. This new classification is based on the comparison of lexical items. We have organized a database including 100 words from the basic vocabulary for 207 languages. Several tree representations were obtained by using Neighbor-Joining (Saitou and Nei, 1987) and Neighbor-Net (Bryant and Moulton, 2004) algorithms.This study allows us to get a better understanding of the linguistic proximity of these languages. It also provides a historical scenario for Bantu migrations

Full textThis work proposes a preliminary analysis of the phonological and morphological aspects of the lembaama language (B62) according to Guthrie (1971). This language is officially called obamba in Gabon. Lembaama is a Bantu language, from the Benue-Congo group and Niger-Congo phylum. As far as we know this language has not received any detailled study yet. Lembaama shows some interesting features. Endeed, the phonological analysis shows the existence of palatalized, labialized, and prenasalized consonants and of long vowels in the phonemic inventory. The analysis of phonological processes shows that nasality is a property of nasal or of prenasalized consonants which is transmitted to adjacent vowels.

Full textThis doctoral dissertation has two main objectives. The first objective is to provide a description of the phonology and morphology base for all B20 dialects known to date (16 in total). The second objective is to uncover new criteria, nonlexical, for the improvement and consolidation of the internal classification of this group which has remained largely unknown for long.B20 dialects are all relatively close to each other, from all points of view. Therefore, finding nonlexical criteria to improve our understanding of the dialectological structure of this group is not an easy task. Only thorough linguistic description can change this. I focused on the phonology of the dialects, but did not ignore data about noun morphology (nominal classes and noun prefixes) and very basic verb morphology. The first major part of the thesis presents the results of this fastidious study. These results in turn are the basis for the study presented in the second major part which is comparative in nature and dedicated to dialectology and the search for potentially useful new criteria for the improvement of the internal classification of the group.The careful study of potentially useful criteria for dialectology revealed that the selected morphological criteria tend to better confirm existing internal classification proposals (mainly based on lexical data) than the various phonological criteria. If the former generally tend to corroborate the two or three subgroups proposed earlier (particularly by Grollemund (2012)) and confirm, indirectly, the floating nature of the B20 (Bastin and Piron, 1999), the latter clearly reveal a much larger disparity within the Kota-Kele group.This doctoral dissertation also has other assets. It is an important contribution to the ongoing documentation of Bantu languages, many of them being currently threatened with extinction. In addition to extensive linguistic, cultural and historical information, the thesis also wants to make a significant contribution to the development of a linguistic atlas of Gabon and to the classification of the Gabonese languages

Resumo: Essa pesquisa teve como objeto a obra Usos e Costumes dos Bantos, escrita em 1913 pelo missionário e etnógrafo suíço Henri Junod (18631934). Seu trabalho etnográfico no sul de Moçambique, particularmente com o estudo do costumes do que foi denominado grupo "tsonga", teve relevância em vários temas do debate antropológico. Porém a historiografia da disciplina se restringiu, majoritariamente, ao seu argumento sobre parentesco e evolução social exposto pelo texto basilar de Radcliffe-Brown "O irmão da mãe na África Austral". Nessa pesquisa buscou-se explorar outras contribuições etnográficas do autor, a partir de uma leitura detalhada de sua principal obra. Para isso, outros escritos, e versões da mesma obra, foram incluídos no estudo a fim de aprofundar nas idéias do autor. Dessa forma, a pesquisa apresenta contribuições de Junod sobre temas como linhagem, ritos de passagem. sistemas de casamento e sobre a relação entre norma social e comportamento. Apresenta-se também um breve estudo sobre a trajetória de Junod e a relação com sua obra. O olhar da historiografia da antropologia dirigido à obra de Junod a partir do debate estabelecido com Radcliffe-Brown relegou o pensamento de Junod à matriz evolucionista. Porém, com essa pesquisa, mostra-se que há outros pontos obscurecidos até então que o relacionam também à crescente corrente da antropologia social
Abstract: The object of this research is the work Ufe in a $outh African Tribe, wrote in 1913 by the Swiss missionary and ethnographer Henri Junod (1863-1934). His ethnographic work in the south of Mozambique, particularly with the costumes' study of what had been named "tsonga" group, had relevance in several themes in the anthropological debate. However, the anthropological historiography restricted itself, mostly, to Junod's argument about kinship and social evolution exposed through the Radcliffe-Brown's basilar article "The mother's brother in South Africa". In this research, it was explored others ethnographical contributions of Junod, found through a detail reading of Ufe in a South African Tribe. Other texts was used too, inclusively others versions of the work in question, with the objective of deepening in the author's ideas. In this matter, this dissertation presents Junod's contributions in themes as lineage, rites of passage, systems of n:arriage and the relation between social norm and behavior. Also, it was possible to present a brief study of the Junod's trajectory and its relation with his work. The Radcliffe-Brown's vision about Junod' s ideas located him in the evolutionary matrix. However, with this research, it was demonstrated that others elements, that had been obscured until now, relates Junod to the growing current of the social anthropology

Full textThis dissertation explores various issues of the tonal system of Shingazidja, a Bantu language spoken on the island of Grande Comore. The main aim is to provide a better understanding of the interaction of tone with both syntactic and information structure. The account presented in this thesis will be proposed within the Optimality Theory framework. Chapters 2 and 3 are devoted to the tonology of the language as it occurs in the noun and the verb phrases. Aspects covered include the number of tonal categories into which the noun falls, final pitch lowering, variability ot tonal realisations, tone shift and OCP phenomena. Most of these processes are analysed in chapter 4 using Optimal Domains Theory (Cassimjee & Kisseberth 1998). Chapter 5 presents substential new data and gives an extensive descriptive inventory of the syntactic and pragmatic factors that influence the phrasing of the language. Chapter 6 discusses from a formal point of view the interaction of phonology with syntax and information structure. The optimal analysis is conducted using constraints on edge-alignment and Wrap XP, a constraint that requires every XP to be contained in a phonological phrase. In particular, it is argued that phrasing in shingazidja is sensitive to functional categories, which is against the Lexical Category Principle commonly assumed in the litterature
