Abstract:
The development of the Bantu languages Kinyarwanda and Kirundi is entangled within the colonial histories of Rwanda and Burundi, first under German and then Belgian rule. From the turn of the twentieth century on, missionaries compiled grammars and dictionaries of the two mutually intelligible languages, contributing to the development and instrumentalisation of two prestigious varieties out of a larger dialect continuum. In this contribution, I trace the missionary and colonial activities of corpus planning and textualisation and summarise how Kinyarwanda and Kirundi turned into official lang

Abstract:
Traditional grammar holds that parts of speech have broad semantic definitions: verbs are actions, nouns are entities, adjectives are states of being, and prepositions denote locations (Baker, 2003). This view is problematic, however, given that semantic concepts are lexicalized differently across languages. For example, through my field work with a native speaker of Kinyarwanda (Bantu family, spoken in Central Africa), I have found that in this language, states can be lexicalized as adjectives, nouns, or verbs: (1) umugabo ni munini “The man is big” ADJECTIVE MAN IS LARGE (2) imbwa n’ umweru

Abstract:
This thesis provides an analysis of Possessor Raising (PR) in a minimalist framework. I examine four languages that exhibit PR, namely Japanese, Korean, Kinyarwanda, and Swahili. I propose that cross-linguistic variation of PR in these languages is captured by the single notion of Multiple Feature-Checking (MFC). In addition to cross-linguistic variation of surface syntax of PR, this thesis also examines a universal feature of PR, namely the relational noun restriction. PR raises an interesting problem with the mapping relation between an argument DP and its grammatical function (GF). A
