Abstract:
This paper examines the irregular application of the sound change commonly known as ‘Bantu Spirantization (BS)’ — a particular type of assibilation — in front of certain common Bantu morphemes. This irregularity can to a large extent be explained as the result of the progressive morphologization (through ‘dephonologization’) and lexicalization to which the sound shift was exposed across Bantu. The interaction with another common Bantu sound change, i.e. the 7-to-5-vowel merger, created the conditions necessary for the morphologization of BS, while analogy played an important role in its blocking and retraction from certain morphological domains. Differing morpho-prosodic constraints are at the origin of the varying heteromorphemic conditioning of BS. These uneven morphologization patterns, especially before the agentive suffix -i, were entrenched in the lexicon thanks to the lexicalization of agent nouns. The typology of Agent Noun Spirantization (ans) developed in this paper not only contributes to a better understanding of the historical processes underlying the varying patterns of BS morphologization and lexicalization, but also to internal Bantu classification. The different ANS types are geographically distributed in such a way that they allow to distinguish major Bantu subgroups. From a methodological point of view, this article thus shows how differential morphologization and lexicalization patterns can be used as tools for historical classification.

Abstract:
O artigo debate sobre as concepções africanas do Ser humano a partir da Bantu Philosophy de Placide Tempels, partindo da obra African Philosophy: Myth and Reality. Procuramos fazer uma desconstrução e construção da crítica avançada, à etnofilosofia de Placide Tempels na sua obra Bantu Philosophy (Filosofia Bantu). Portanto, falar de Placide Tempels evoca, de certo modo, toda uma série de questões e debates que estão intimamente relacionados com a existência da primeira tentativa de construir e sistematizar a filosofia africana. Na verdade, não se pode falar da filosofia africana sem fazer menção à Tempels em sua obra Bantu Philosophy de (1945). Tempels foi o primeiro autor que trouxe a questão de filosofia “Bantu” à superfície. Neste contexto, a obra African Philosophy: Myth and Reality de Paulin Hountondji, criou um movimento intelectual bastante forte, que despoletou debates filosóficos fervorosos nos últimos anos. No seu prefácio, Hountondji inicia o debate considerando Husserl, como sendo o filósofo que teria criado algumas formas, técnicas e ideias intelectuais que permitiram a filosofia de ser uma ciência rigorosa. Na mesma linha de pensamento, Hountondji evoca René Descartes no seu Cogito[1], onde defendia que todas as doutrinas deveriam possuir um valor, uma responsabilidade intelectual e uma justificação lógico-racional. Para tanto, o trabalho apresenta-se estruturado em duas partes, onde na primeira parte: faço uma fundamentação do pensamento de Placide J. Tempels e da sua teoria sobre a Filosofia Bantu, descrevo seu perfil, sua concepção de ontologia Bantu e a sua visão em torno da filosofia bantu. Na segunda parte, apresento a ideia proposta por Paulin Hountondji e a sua crítica unanimista à etnofilosofia de Tempels, onde apresento as influências que ele teve, a crítica que faz à etnofilosofia de Tempels, aqui invoco vários filósofos africanos que abordam sobre o tema em estudo, e, por fim, as considerações finais. Palavras-chave: Filosofia Africana. Etnofilosofia. Ontologia. Força vital. Ser Humano.

Abstract:
Placide Tempels was a pioneer in presenting Bantu philosophy in the mid-20th century as a serious ontological and metaphysical system. His book stands in the context of Europe’s discovery of African art and of its aesthetics. In this article the conditions for this reception and the resonance of key motifs of Bantu philosophy with developments in European culture are discussed. Fields of cultural and epistemic difference which persist are identified for further consideration and suggestions for further reception are indicated.

Abstract:
The essay explicates Aimé Césaire’s contribution to the discipline of African philosophy, which ironically, is unknown to many scholars within African philosophy, especially in Anglophone Africa. In his Return to my Native Land, Césaire introduced two new concepts: “négritude” and “return”. These would later turn out to be crucial to the discourse on African identity and African philosophy. In his Discourse on Colonialism, Césaire raised two very closely related objections against Placide Tempels’ Bantu Philosophy. His first dissatisfaction was that Tempels merely followed Lévy-Bruhl and his adherents by proposing another point of view in support of the misguided theory of the prelogical. Secondly, in so doing, his aim was nothing more than to make a presentation of an argument insupport of European imperialism and colonialism. His Discourse on Colonialism, therefore, set the ground for later criticisms that were levelled against ethnophilosophy as an approach to African philosophy. Keywords: Négritude, Return, Thingification, Ethnophilosophy, Philosophic sagacity.

Abstract:
The morphological ordering relationships among a set of valence-changing suffixes found throughout the Bantu family have been of theoretical interest in a number of synchronic studies of the daughter languages. However, few attempts have yet been made to reconstruct the principles governing their ordering in the parent language. Based on a survey of over thirty Bantu languages, this paper proposes a reconstruction wherein the order of suffixes marking causativization and applicativization was fixed in Proto-Bantu. This reconstruction runs counter to approaches to morphosyntax where semantic scope is taken to determine the order of morphemes but is consistent with templatic approaches to morpheme ordering in the Bantu family.

Abstract:
We examine the origin of labial-velar stops in Lingombe, a language from the northern Bantu borderland. Labial-velar stops are uncommon in Bantu. It is generally believed that they were acquired through contact with neighbouring non-Bantu speakers, in casu Ubangi languages. We show that the introduction of labial-velar stops in Lingombe is indeed a contact-induced change, but one which could not happen through superficial contact. It involved advanced bilingualism, whereby Ubangi speakers left a phonological substrate in the Bantu language to which they shifted. Once adopted, these loan phonemes underwent a further language-internal extension to native vocabulary, a process known as ‘hyperadaptation’. Both conventional sound symbolism and the deliberate attempt to differentiate the speech of one’s own social group were important for the further proliferation of labial-velar stops in Lingombe. This type of conscious analogical sound change is at odds with Neogrammarian principles of regular sound change.

Abstract:
A pretensão do presente artigo é apresentar, de forma analítica, um breve panorama reflexivo em torno da incontornável crítica unanimista tecida por Hountondji à etnofilosofia de Placide Tempels patente na sua obra Bantu Philosophy. Para tal, de modo sucinto, apresenta a compreensão do que seja filosofia africana como qualquer outra filosofia na perspectiva de Hountondji (não pode ser resultado da unanimidade, isto é, do consenso, fruto da visão e/ou pensamento colectivo do mundo, mas da confrontação de pensamentos individuais, ou seja, da discussão e/ou debate) e, por conseguinte, a razão de ser das críticas tecidas à obra de Tempels, sobretudo os seus pontos fortes que, juntamente com a grande obra de African Philosophy de Hountondji, criaram um movimento intelectual e que, nos últimos anos, para além de merecer uma atenção especial, têm incitado debates interessantes e bastantes vigorosos.

Abstract:
abstract: Collective self-esteem is defined as the aspect of identity that relates to how one evaluates the value or worth of the social group to which they belong (Luttanen and Croker, 1992). For African American youth, little research has been conducted to understand how they assess the value or worth they place on their ethnic social grouping as opposed to their racial identity (Hecht, Jackson, & Ribeau, 2003). Moreover, African American scholars for decades have theorized about the importance of applying African centered frameworks to ground community solutions for these youth. Drawing from both the African centered and collective self-esteem literature, the purpose of the present study is to develop a measure of collective self-esteem derived from an African framework to examine its relationship with African American youths’ ethnic identity perceptions. The first phase of the study consisted of a content analysis to generate a pool of items derived from Bantu philosophical text. The second phase consisted of cognitive interviewing to understand the mental processing of African American youth answering the developed items. In the final phase, an exploratory factor analysis was conducted to identify the factor structure of the tested items. A single factor was identified, which was strongly correlated with African American youth perceptions of ethnic belonging further supporting that self-perceptions amongst African American youth is associated with how they positively or negatively perceive their ethnic identity.

Abstract:
Ubuntu is a worldview and a way of life shared by most Africans south of Sahara. Basically Ubuntu underlines the often unrecognized role of relatedness and dependence of human individuality to other humans and the cosmos. The importance of relatedness to humanity is summarized by the two maxims of Ubuntu. The first is: a human being is human because of other human beings. The second maxim is an elaboration of the first. It goes; a human being is human because of the otherness of other human beings. John Mbiti combines those two maxims into, "I am because we are, and we are because I am." Ubuntu worldview can provide insights about relationships with communities and the world that contribute to the meaning of Global Bioethics. <br>Ubuntu can be described as involving several distinct yet related components that can be explored in relation to major strands of discourse in contemporary Bioethics. The first component of Ubuntu deals with the tension between individual and universal rights. The second component of Ubuntu deals with concerns about the cosmic and global context of life. The third component of Ubuntu deals with the role of solidarity that unites individuals and communities. Ubuntu has a lot in common with current discourse in bioethics. It can facilitate global bioethics. It can inspire the on-going dialogue about human dignity, human rights and the ethics that surround it. It can inspire and be inspired by global environmental concerns that threaten the biosphere and human life. Ubuntu can critique the formal bioethical principles of autonomy, justice, beneficence and non-maleficence. Above all, Ubuntu can create a basis for dialogue and mutually enlightening discourse between global bioethics and indigenous cultures. Such a dialogue helps make advancements in bioethics relevant to local indigenous cultures, thereby facilitating the acceptability and praxis of global bioethical principles.
