Synopsis

Building Meaning in Context: A Dynamic Approach to Bantu Clause Structure uses the tools of the Dynamic Syntax framework to explore morphosyntactic phenomena in a number of Bantu languages.

  • Examines word order alternations, inversion constructions and negation in Bantu, showing the incremental nature of the build-up of meaning in context
  • Highlights cross-linguistic parallels, drawing on data from Japanese, Korean, Romance languages and varieties of Greek
  • Offers a radical new perspective on the nature of human language, showing the centrality of the concepts of underspecification and update which lie at the heart of the DS structure building process
  • An innovative analysis with a broad empirical coverage
