THE ROUTLEDGE LANGUAGE FAMILY DESCRIPTIONS
Geographically, Bantu languages are spoken in the southern half of Africa.
Genetically, they form part of Benue-Congo, itself a part of the huge Niger-
Congo phylum. The exact place of Bantu in this framework is controversial, and
there is no comprehensive overview of Bantu. The purpose of this volume is to
provide a set of descriptive and typological statements about Bantu, statements
which are theoretically informed.
is Henrietta Harvey Research Professor at the University of
Newfoundland, Canada. He works on comparative Bantu, historical linguistics,
language and history, language contact, and tense and aspect systems. His
publications include Language and History on Kilimanjaro, the Taita Hills, and the
Pare Mountains (1979), The Swahili (with T.D.Hinnebusch, 1993), Inheritance, Contact
and Change in Two East African Languages (2000), and African Languages (with
B.Heine, 2000).
is Professor of Bantu Languages at the Institut National des
Langues et Civilisations Orientales, Paris, and a member of the Dynamique du
Langage research team of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique,
Lyon 2 University. He has worked extensively on comparative Bantu tonology.
Other areas of interest include Afro-Asiatic and general phonology. He is part of
a team currently working on linguistic classification in Africa and its correlation
with population genetics.
