Podrobnosti o e‑knize

There is a long and rich tradition of excellence in Ghanaian linguistics and the detailed study of Ghanaian languages. This tradition has expanded by leaps and bounds in recent years, thanks in part to a cadre of renowned and highly productive Ghanaian linguists conducting research at universities around the globe, as well as in Ghana itself. So too has the commitment to careful description, documentation, and theorizing underlying this tradition been extended to the students that these scholars have trained. The papers in this volume reflect the vast reach of this research tradition, grounded in but expanding beyond Ghanaian languages, ranging from experimental phonetics, to language description, to political discourse analysis.

O autorovi

Christopher R. Green is Associate Professor of Linguistics at Syracuse University. He is a phonologist whose research focuses primarily on prosody, including metrical structure, tone, and prominence, broadly construed. He has conducted fieldwork in Mali and Kenya, as well as within diaspora populations of African language speakers in the US and Europe. He has written a reference grammar of Somali, Somali Grammar (2021), and is part of a team of linguists documenting and exploring the phonology-syntax interface in the Luyia languages of Western Kenya. His current project is aimed at uncovering details of the Jarawan languages of Nigeria, which are almost entirely undescribed.
