Ekkehard -- References -- Further Reading -- Index 1: Subjects -- Index 2: Languages, language groups, and areasThis innovative handbook takes a fresh look at the currently underestimated linguistic diversity of Africa, the continent with the largest number of languages in the world. It covers the major domains of linguistics, offering both a representative picture of Africa's linguistic landscape as well as new and at times unconventional perspectives. The focus is not so much on exhaustiveness as on the fruitful relationship between African and general linguistics and the contributions the two domains can make to each other. This volume is thus intended for readers with a specific interest in African languages and also for students and scholars within the greater discipline of linguistics.World of linguistics ;Volume 11.African languagesAfrica, Historical Linguistics, Linguistic Typology.African languages.496Güldemann TomMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826860703321The languages and linguistics of Africa3926894UNINA
