Abstract:
This volume contains 16 papers selected from the 37th Annual Conference on African Linguistics (ACAL 37), which was held at the University of Oregon on April 6-9, 2006. The papers included are significant for increasing the database of detailed studies of individual African languages. Several of the papers deal with contact among multiple languages and consequent areal effects, as well as language endangerment under contact. Additionally, all of the papers in the first section of the volume, plus three of the morphosyntax papers, are important for improving our understanding of historical dynamics in the languages and language families of the African continent. The complete table of contents is available at http://www.lingref.com/cpp/acal/37/ along with abstracts and the full papers in PDF format.
This volume has been published by Cascadilla Proceedings Project, an imprint of Cascadilla Press. All proceedings from Cascadilla Proceedings Project are published in library binding. There is also free web access to all of the papers in the proceedings through our web site at http://www.lingref.com.
