Full textClassifiers ga (cl. 16), ku (cl. 17) and mu (cl. 18) express respectively “contact”, “distance” and “interiority”: a) when they are prefixed by ‑úma /place/; b) when they appear in conjugated verbs or are prefixed by themes of determinants; c) when they are followed by a name in the form of a free morpheme; d) or when they are followed by a verb. Bu (cl. 14) expresses, in addition, “abstract” value when it is combined to lexical bases; when it is prefixed to the themes of determinants, it carries temporal, comparative and causal values; it serves thirdly to mark the hypothesis in the form of a free morpheme

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 textAmong the Bantu languages spoken in the Lake Corridor region, the following have been examined in view of a linguistic and historical reconstruction : Nyakyusa, Ndali, Ngonde, Lambya, Safwa, Nyiha, Inamwanga, Southern Fipa and a Fipa variety called 'Sukuma'. A synchronic, phonological analysis of these languages has been proposed, in order to elucidate the endogenous phonetic variation, as an engine of change in progress, as well as phonological interference, as a a witness of past and present linguistic contacts. Basic vocabulary has been subjected to lexicostatistic calculation, operation whose hypotheses and foundations have been submitted to a critical evaluation. In these operations, other neighbouring languages (Lungu, Bemba, Kinga etc. ) have been taked into consideration. Before reconstruction, the extra-linguistic conditions (archeology, oral traditions, sociolinguistics) have been treated, so as to reconstruct the context in which linguistic evolution should be situated. In this context, a series of heuristic principles ha been proposed leading to the reconstruction of the amin phonological innovations (of which spirantization, devoicing of stops befor high vowels), characteristic of Oriental Bantu, sometimes following alternative phonetic paths. An evaluation of theses reconstructed alternative paths has shown certain genetic affiliations to be more plausible than others. On the basis of the devoicing feature, an ancient linguistic community (of which the Nyakyusa, Ndali, Ngonde, Bemba, Fipa-Sukuma would descend) occupying the Western border of Lake Corridor during the Early Iron Age, ha been posited. During the same period, its Eastern part must have been occupied by populations speaking non-devoicing, conservative languages. Around the 11th-12th centuries, a new wave of immigrants, characterised by spirantizing, non-devoicing and very innovativelanguages (Nyiha, Inamwanga, Lungu/Mambwe, Southern-Fipa etc;ʿ, has covered partially the center of this territory. The phonological profile of today's languages and the lexical homogeneity are the result of an eight hundred years social and linguistic convergence

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 tends to demonstrate two points : - a number of concomitant formal elements is necessary for the communication of the different information conveyed by language, a phenomenon which is described here as "superimposition of markers"; - the fact that syntax imposes categorizations of the real world in the field of "designations" and "relations" as well as "formulations" (pottier), results in "semantics of syntax" (hagege). The first two sections discuss the semantics of parts of speech. The first section studies the distribution of parts of speech in the palauan (chapter i), tagalog (chapter ii), kinyarwanda (chapter iii) and luganda languages (chapter iv). The second section discusses the phenomena of valencies and orientations, another aspect of the semantics of parts of speech : the concept of orientation is applied to nouns (chapter vii) and subordinate propositions (or their equivalents) (chapter ix). The semantics of relations are discussed in the third section, which presents a fairly extensive analysis of the functional systems of the palauan (chapter xi) and tagalog languages (chapter xii), in the context of the theory of "superimposi- tion of markers" (chapter x), which will also be applied to the field of morpho- phonemics (chapter xiii). A number of specific problems are considered : - the value of the morpheme a, the so-called "hypothetical" form in palauan; - the value of the verbal affixes in tagalog and palauan; - the value of the initial vowel and the place of locative class markers in the bantu languages (kinyarwanda and luganda). The following general linguistic problems are also developed : - the verb-noun opposition, the distinction between noun and substantive; - phenomena of transferring, government, valency, lexicases; - the relation between cases, roles and statement hierarchy;- ethnocentricity in theories and descriptions

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
Onambele, Manga Christophe Ledoux. "Vers une grammaire minimaliste de certains aspects syntaxiques de la langue ewondo." Paris 8, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA083529.
Full textThis thesis proposes to formalize Bantu generalized agreement (or multiple agreement) within the framework of minimalist grammars. In Bantu languages such as Ewondo, agreement is characterized by the spread of class feature of the head N all over its dependents including the verb. To deal with this linguistic phenomenon, we extend permitted operations in minimalist grammars. That extension allows us either to treat class feature persistence that mark the agreement, or to deal with post-syntactic insertion of agreement feature. Agreement in imperatives-hortatives revolves around the idea of features consistency found in unification grammars. And finally multiple agreement in serial verbs constructions is formalized in terms of control movement. In the last part, the proposed grammar is applied to cases of other languages such as plural agreement in Korean and second verb predicates in French

Full textThis thesis is in the theoretical context of Word-Formation and examines grammatical and semantic categorization in Luganda, an East African Bantu language, in comparison with English and French. The study investigates how nouns and verbs are identified as well as verb-noun transposition in Luganda. With the help of an electronic journalistic corpus from a Luganda daily, this research presents an analysis more specifically regarding the formation of de-verbal agent nouns and the corresponding morphological paradigms of suffixation. Descriptions of grammatical categories and derivational morphology are normally based on Indo-European languages. An attempt is made within the framework of Weak Lexicalism to verify if these explanations apply to Bantu languages as well

Full textFor a long time Mozambique has been a scène of immigration and the diversity of peoples resulting from those encounters reflected itself on a number of social domains. On of the vestiges of this past is the linguistic diversity. Since 90's it has been a revival on interest on the subject of sociolinguistic management. The prevailing sociolinguistic literature attributes rightly and wrongly to the language used in teaching, in this case, Portuguse, the low rate in scholatic achievement. All these elements considered, for us, it seems simplistic to point out Portuguese as the main cause of academic failure. In fact, a whole lot factors contribute to it. Aiming at reversing the academic tendency simpley by changing the language used in the education system, for us, it does not seem enough; We advocate that parallel to purely linguistic adjustements there should be adjustements making it possible for the prometed languages to "alive" socialy speaking

Full textExpect from the portuguese and same native khoïsan languages speaking in the south, Angola is a bantoue languages country. There are nine different regional languages speaking : kikongo, kimbundu, umbundu, nyaneka-humbe, osihelelo, cokwe, ngangela, osiwanbo et osindonga. More portuguese wich is the official language for administration and studies, our study is about three regional idioms (kikongo, kimbundu et umbundu) because of their demographic relevance in the country. The linguistic mixing of portuguese and regional languages creates intrusions or interferences in FLE teaching. This interferences appear in different subjects : phonetic and phonology, morpho-syntax, lexico-semantic, culture, etc. We propose some correction for these differents types of mistakes. For phonetic problems we use verbs-tonal method that takes like starting point the learner's erroneous perception and that considere that a good perception entails a good production

Full textThis thesis studies a bantu language of Gabon, Central Africa, the galwa (B. 11 c) which is a part of the B. 10 language family. This African language belongs to the bantu group of the Benoué-Congo nib family which is itself a part of the Niger-Congo language grouping. This report first establishes the phonological base system and briefly introduces the morphophonology of the language. The syntaxmorphology characteristics of the language are covered as well as the processes of word formation (derivation and composition) and various grammatical categories and their place in the structure of noun and verb phrasing. Finally, this thesis covers the complexity of language wording and introduces a lexical model

Full textThe present dissertation aims to explore the nature of nouns in shingazidʒaa, a G40 Bantu language spoken on Ngazidʒa a island (Grande Comore) by about 500. 000 people, to whom a sizeable amount of expatriates living mainly in France should be added. All the issues generally associated with nouns in morphology, phonology, semantics and syntax are considered. Pitch-accent, a remnant of a tone system that probably existed at an earlier stage of the language, and determination are studied as well. Emphasis, however, is on morphophonological phenomena, whose analysis crucially depends on the other aspects of the noun system. The study is conducted in the framework of Lexemic Combinatory Morphology (LCM) that takes the lexeme as the minimal lexical unit, stripped from the inflectional markings only present on word-forms. It puts forward two theories that help to shed light on issues that have been little dealt with in Bantu studies and have to do with the morphophonological interface: Lowenstamm's 'Begining of the word' theory and Anscombre's theory of stereotypes. The former allows us to show that the phonetic zero one would be tempted to posit in noun class 5 owing to the absence of a class marker (CM) is far from representing a phonological, let alone morphological void. Anscombre's theory, on the other hand, enables us to analyse the semantico-syntactic subtle complexities brought about by agentivization, as well as the morphophonological phenomena underlying or accompanying these complexities. Thanks to these two theories and a few others such as grammaticalization theory, three main points are thus considered: (i) the morphophonological manifestations of the zero class marker (ZCM) corresponding to the Bantu noun class 5; (ii) number in a morphophonological perspective; (iii) derivation, nominalizations in particular

Full textWith the notice that, today, Gabonese ethnic languages are less spoken by the young, parents become more concern with the necessity to pass on their language to their children. The approach adopted here is based on the analysis of endogroup and exogroup phenomena. We examine, on the one hand the interaction process among members of a linguistic group, and on the other hand the relationships that speakers of different ethnic languages may have one another. Our study is backed upon declared usages stemming from a survey carried out in two Gabonese cities (Libreville and Lambaréné), chosen because of their multiethnic feature. It comes out from this survey that the family still stands as a trustworthy element for the transmission of ethnic languages in Gabon. However, conscious of the fact that the only domestic unit seems not sufficient enough for the maintaining of ethnic languages, we must consider their introduction in the curriculum. But with regard the failure of the various attempts to introduce ethnic languages in the education system, we start wondering about the range of the linguistic policies implemented on the national level. The review of these policies allows us to conclude that the learning of Gabonese ethnic languages needs first a language planning. Their statute is still precarious before the imperialism of the colonial language, French

Full textThis thesis presents a comparative study of the Bantu languages of the A80 group (also known as Makaa-Njem). The goal of the thesis is two-fold: (i) offer a synthesis of the state of knowledge in linguistics (and related disciplines) about the languages of the Bantu A80 group by adding new data and analysis for the Bekwel language of Gabon ; (ii) present the results of a comparative study at the synchronic and diachronic levels. The comparative study includes eight A80 languages: Shiwa, Kwasio, Bekol, Makaa, Konzime, Njem, Bekwel and Mpiemo. The study adopts in the first place a synchronic perspective ("horizontal" correspondences) then approaches the same data from a diachronic point of view ("vertical" correspondences, reconstructions and reflexes), focusing mainly on phonology, and to a lesser extent, on nominal and verbal morphology. It is based on a 1029 cognate lexicon established on the basis of first-hand data for Bekwel and published data for the other languages. Data was processed using the online tools of the RefLex project.The first part of the thesis establishes a general summary of the knowledge on the Bantu A80 languages and on Bekwel in particular. The second part presents the corpus (gathering methods then nature of the data, sources and processing) and a series of concise phonological (and morphological) sketches for all eight languages constituted on the basis of the collected and/or compiled data. The third and final part presents the results of the comparative study. It brings into light the morphological and phonological processes that have shaped the languages of the Makaa-Njem group through their evolution. At the morphological level, it reveals a process of simplification of the noun class system (due to the assimilation of old prefixes into the stems leading to an increase in the number of zero prefixes), numerous cases of re-classification and the role of old nasal prefixes in occlusive devoicing stem initially as well as the mergence of semi-voiced consonants in Bekwel. At the phonological level, a tendency to monosyllabicity can be observed, at a greater or lesser extent depending on the language. This finds an explanation in the diachronic analysis that shows that the languages of the A80 group often were subject to final vowel dropping (V2), in some cases even the whole final syllable. The vowel originally in V2 is generally preserved thanks to anticipations of various types: emergence of diphthongs, V11-V12 sequences (sometimes including devocalization of V11), new vowel quality by fusion, etc. Finally, the conclusion of the thesis summarizes the main results with regards to morphology, phonology and the lexicon, illustrating how these results will be useful for (future) analyses and descriptions of languages of the A80 group

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 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

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 textThe sociolinguistic environment in Gabon comprises the languages of the Pigmies, the Bantou languages, French and the other languages spoken by foreigners. French, as the official language, has three speeh registers: the acrolectal, mesolectal and basilectal forms. At the start, the manifestations of the endogenous norm of French in the Gabonese written media are rooted in urbanisation. Libreville, as the concrete expression of Gabonese urban disparity, carries the dynamic at the heart of the socioliguistic process of French establishing itself in Gabon. Thus, the political and administrative capital of Gabon is either a factor of unification, conflict and linguistic coexistence; either Libreville gives the outline of communication involving the media broadcasters, advertisers and producers, as seen from the angles of two currents of a diverse press: the State and the opposition medias.Then, in a second stage, the linguistic characteristics of the French language are conveyed through a linguistic imaginative world. It includes three types of norms: systemic, statistical and subjective ones. The systemic norms throw light on the development of linguistic idiosyncratic forms, on the influence of substratum languages, on the use of all language registers and on the intermingling of written and oral codes. The statistical norms reflect the statistical hierarchy of linguistic features and causalities linked to the changes of the language in the process of urbanisation, to the sociopolitical context and to logical discursive causes. The last i.e. the subjective norms translate the differences in language representations generating a feeling of linguistic insecurity. This can be sensed under a double perspective, the one of the co-text as related to Makaya and the one of the context. Makaya, perceived as “improper”, presents the man/woman in the street taking offense at the failings of society. Journalists are spokepersons who through their working for a newspaper take part in the construction of the endogenous norm and its recognition

Full textThis thesis is a description of verbal markers in lètὲɣὲ (Téké), a Bantu language spoken in Gabon (B 71a). The verbal markers studied are: the verbal prefix (mark of agreement), the negation marker kâ ... ŋí, the enunciating particles mâ and mí and the verbal final. Many Bantuist linguists consider this field of study (verbal markers) to be complex, as is the case with Guarisma (2000). The number of verbal markers is one of the reasons for this complexity. This work is conducted within the framework of the Theory of the Predicative and Enunciative Operations developed by Culioli (1990) and his collaborators. The enunciative study of these elements shows that each of them marks a specific linguistic operation

Full textThe thesis studies path expressions within a typological and functional framework. It contributes to the description of Chaozhou, a Sinitic language belonging to the Southern Min Group, spoken in Guangdong, China, by analyzing the forms that encode path and can introduce a ground noun phrase. These forms are directional and deictic verbs, the verb gao3 遘 ‘arrive at’, which also means ‘to’ and spatial prepositions do6 □, na3 □ and baj3 放 ‘at, to, in, etc’. Through an analysis of the verbal complex and a description of the causative use of directional verbs, we account of Chaozhou’s status in Talmy’s typology of motion events. Gao3 遘 differs from dào 到 in Standard Chinese by its more restricted range of use. The locative prepositions do6 □, na3 □ and baj3 放 ‘at, to, in, etc.’ are semantically neutral as to the type of path (SOURCE, ROUTE, DIRECTION and GOAL) and to the presence or absence of translational motion. The analysis of the correlation between the semantic role of the prepositional phrase and its position in relation to the verb allows us to study the role of word order in the expression of path meaning. The study highlights a modal distinction between some of these prepositions. Our thesis also examines the distribution of spatial information between adpositions and directional and deictic verbs placed after another verb
