    Focus expressions in Foodo

    Full text link
    This paper aims at presenting different ways of expressing focus in Foodo, a Guang language. We can differentiate between marked and unmarked focus strategies. The marked focus expressions are first syntactically characterized: the focused constituent is in sentence-initial position and is second always marked obligatorily by a focus marker, which is [...] for non-subjects and N for subjects. Complementary to these structures, Foodo knows an elliptic form consisting of the focused constituent and a predication marker [...]. It will be shown that the two focus markers can be analyzed as having developed out of the homophone conjunction n[...] and that the constraints on the use of the focus markers can be best explained by this fact

    a Festschrift for Tom Güldemann

    No full text
    This festschrift celebrates Tom Güldemann, an outstanding Africanist and linguist. It presents a collection of papers organised in a way that reflects his macro-areal approach to African linguistics (Güldemann 2018, inter alia). As such, the Festschrift comprises sections on the Kalahari Basin, the Bantu spread zone, the Macro-Sudan belt, the Central transition sphere ([a] the Sahel), and the Nuba mountain accretion zone. Some papers treat whole regions, others treat pools of languages, and some have scope over the entire continent. The Festschrift rounds up with some papers exploring language Beyond Africa

    Focus expressions in Yom

    No full text
    This paper deals with the means for expressing the pragmatic category of focus in Yom, which is an Oti-Volta language of the Yom-Nawdem group spoken by about 74,000 people (Gordon 2005, online version) in the department of Donga in Northern Benin. The study is based on results of my field research carried out in March/April 2005 in Djougou (Benin), within the framework of the project “Focus in Gur and Kwa languages”. Main aim of this fieldwork was to study the expression of focus in Yom. Regarding the basic grammatical structure of the language, I mainly rely on various publications by Beacham (1969, 1991, and 1997)
