Derek Nurse looks at variations in the form and function of tense and aspect in Bantu, a branch of Niger-Congo, the world’s largest language phylum. Bantu languages are spoken in central, eastern, and southern sub-Saharan Africa south of a line between Nigeria and Somalia. By current estimates there are between 250 and 600 of them, as yet neither adequately classified nor fully described. Professor Nurse’s account is based on data from more than 200 Bantu languages and varieties, a representative sample of which is freely available on the publisher’s website. He devotes subst

Twenty years earlier James Campbell, whom one suspects of a secret and shameface

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 will be theoretically informed.
