First published in 1977, Language in Africa offers a comprehensive exploration of the linguistic diversity and complexity of the African continent. This seminal work is structured into six parts, beginning with foundational chapters that introduce linguistic methodology and theory, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of African languages. The book delves into the linguistic repertoire, covering phonology, syntax, and morphology, before transitioning to historical perspectives on language classification and the history of research on African languages.
Gregersen provides an in-depth examination of Africa's major language phyla―Niger-Kordofanian, Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan, and Khoisan―while addressing residual topics in classification. The book also explores the interplay between language and non-linguistic aspects, such as history, culture, and African writing systems. Concluding with policies and proposals, it offers insights into the future of African linguistics.
Richly detailed and methodically organized, this book is an essential resource for linguists, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the intricate tapestry of African languages and their cultural significance.
