RRG is a functional theory of syntax which has been developed on the basis of two leading questions: First, how would a syntactic theory look like which starts from ?exotic? languages rather than English? Second, how can the interaction between syntax, semantics and pragmatics in different grammatical systems best modelled and explained? Although RRG took linguistic diversity serious from its very beginning, African languages have been underrepresented in the development of the theory. Given the sheer number African languages deserve a wider coverage in a syntactic theory which takes linguistic diversity seriously. The volume is intended to fill this gap and comprises a selection of papers which investigate different aspects related to the syntax-semantics-pragmatics interface of different African languages. This includes: argument doubling and dislocation in iziZulu, complex referential phrases in G?k?y?, serial verb constructions in Igbo, locative complements in Hausa and Zarma Chiine and focus constructions in Emai. The papers will extent the current RRG approach to new languages and phenomena. 606 $aAfrican languages$xSocial aspects 610 $aAfrican languages. 610 $aArgument (linguistics). 610 $aGrammar. 610 $aInformation structure. 615 0$aAfrican languages$xSocial aspects. 676 $a306.44096 702 $aAnderson$b Ciara$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aEgbokhare$b Francis$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aFleischhauer$b Jens$factive 2013-$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aFleischhauer$b Jens$factive 2013-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKihara$b Claudius Patrick$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aKihara$b Claudius Patrick$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRiccio$b Anna$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSchaefer$b Ronald$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSennen Agbo$b Maduabuchi$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996524972103316 996 $aAfrican languages from a Role and Reference Grammar perspective$93229494 997 $aUNISA
