adam_text | This book is a description of Luwo, a Western Nilotic language of
South Sudan» Luwo is used by multilingual, dynamic communities
of practice as one language among others that form individual
and flexible repertoires. It is a language that serves as a means of
expressing the Self, as a medium of art and self-actualization, and
sometimes as a medium of writing. It is spoken in the home and
in public spaces, by fairly large numbers of people who identify
themselves as Luwo and as members of all kinds of other groups.
In order to provide insights into these dynamic and diverse realities
of Luwo, this book contains both a concise description and analysis
of the linguistic features and structures of Luwo, and an approach
to the anthropological linguistics of this language. The latter is
presented in the form of separate chapters on possession, number,
experiencer constructions, spatial orientation, perception and
cognition. In all sections of this study, sociolinguistic information
is provided wherever this is useful and possible, detailed information
on the semantics of grammatical features and constructions is given,
and discussions of theory-oriented approaches to various linguistic
features of Luwo are presented.
Linguists, Nilotic specialists and speakers of Luwo alike welcome this well-
researched and clearly presented grammar. Well done!

In her of study of
Łuwo,
a poorly studied Western Nilotic language of Southern
Sudan,
Anne Storch
has gone beyond the usual categories dealt with in grammars
to cover areas of ethnosemantics passed over by more conventional descriptions.
The Luwo language is set in its sociological context, and issues such as contact,
multilingualism and the variety of oral genres all find a place in later chapters.
In particular the text has extended coverage of ideophones
and other terms that are hard to capture, as well as sections
on smell» taste and experience. Reference is made throughout
to the global typological literature, so the book should find
an audience beyond those specifically interested in Nilotic
languages.
