Description
Summary:African languages cover more than one fourth of the world’s languages, but still have been underrepresented in linguistic theories.

Accordingly, distinctive linguistic phenomena of iziZulu, Gĩkũyũ, Igbo, Babungo, Emai and other African languages are discussed in the contributions.
