Description

This groundbreaking study presents the first comprehensive syntactic analysis of the Kwa language group within the Niger-Congo family, which encompasses most languages of sub-Saharan Africa. Written by a native speaker of Gungbe, one of the languages examined, the book explores complement-head sequences and clause structure patterns that reveal fundamental principles of Universal Grammar. By investigating grammatical phenomena across Kwa languages, the author demonstrates how these African language systems illuminate broader linguistic theory and challenge existing models of syntactic organisation. This Oxford Studies in Comparative Syntax volume bridges African linguistics with universal principles, offering scholars and linguists essential insights into language diversity and commonality.
