Bantu languages are notoriously “verby” (Nurse 2008, 21), referring to the highly agglutinative nature of the inflected verb, whose complexities have sparked extensive research. Now that Bantu verbal morphology is much better understood, the…
Southern Bantu languages have extensive auxiliary inventories with functions that sometimes go beyond typical tense/aspect/mood/polarity meanings. This article examines areal semantic patterns of auxiliaries in 16 Southern Bantu varieties, i…
Auxiliary constructions in Southern Bantu exhibit a feature in which two or more auxiliaries appear alongside a single lexical verb. We term this construction ‘auxiliary stacking’. The goal of the paper is to outline the phenomenon of auxili…
The Kagulu auxiliary verb ng’hali appears in a variety of auxiliary verb constructions and has several phonological realizations (ng’hali, kali, and ng’hati). Unlike other auxiliary verbs in the language, ng’hali occurs with limited morpholo…
Northwestern Bantu (NWB) languages differ from Eastern/Southwestern Bantu languages in that their verb forms are more often analytic, with pre-stem inflectional material appearing in a complex that may be unbound from the main verb. This has…
This article discusses the subclass of Tswana auxiliaries that cannot be analysed as resulting from the grammaticalization of regular forms of verbs also used predicatively in the present state of the language. It describes the general chara…
This study focuses on the syntactic and pragmatic functions of the isiXhosa auxiliary verbs za ‘come’ and ya ‘go’ when followed by subjunctive or past consecutive lexical verbs. Analysis of the auxiliaries’ occurrence in a 60,000-word databa…
Kihehe (G62) has a rich inventory of auxiliary constructions (> 120) grounded in different forms of be: copula -li and -ʋa ‘be’. This paper addresses those constructions in which the auxiliary is marked for one of three pasts – hodiernal,…
Gĩkũyũ (E.51) exhibits several verbs that can be used both as lexical verbs and as auxiliary verbs. We compare the lexical and auxiliary usages of four verbs and show that all auxiliary verb usages display uniform restrictions concerning val…
This paper studies the grammaticalization of possessive predicates into negative auxiliaries expressing main clause negation in the Bantu languages of the Middle and Lower Zambezi River region. Drawing on a convenience sample of languages fr…
This article draws on conversations and ethnographic observations with activists in Granada, Andalusia, as they learn to respond ‘otherwise’ to the socioecological challenges of the Dílar and Monachil rivers. They inhabit the disorienting space opened …

Eesti köök pakub mitmekesiseid ja maitsvaid toite, mis on juurdunud kohalikes traditsioonides. Looduslikud koostisosad ja traditsioonilised retseptid loovad unikaalse maitseelamuse. Uurime lähemalt, kuidas Eesti köök on arenenud ja mida see pakub tänapäeval. Kohalikud toorained Eesti toidutootmine põhineb kohalikel toorainetel. Piimatooted, liha ja köögiviljad on igapäevaelus tavalised. Põllumajad ja talud pakuvad värskeid ja kvaliteetseid tooteid. Näiteks, […]

Il arrive parfois que l’on fouille au fond d’une librairie à la recherche d’un livre qui nous semblait jusque-là indispensable et que la main, mue par sa propre curiosité, en saisisse un autre. Peut-être parce que troublé par le titre ou par la quatrième de couverture, on quitte alors le magasin avec ce nouvel ouvrage sans être pour autant trop certain de la raison de cette acquisition.
C’est ainsi que j’ai découvert Devenir hétéronomes. Sur la pluralité des mondes, intrigué par un[…]
