Duplication processes in Lusoga morphosyntax

Key Points

Duplication processes play a significant role in Lusoga morphosyntax, affecting grammatical structure.
Key evidence indicates the interaction between Lusoga and other language influences, particularly from Khoisan.
Analysis focused on morphological patterns and syntactic structures prompted by language contact scenarios.
This finding supports the need for deeper exploration of language evolution in Bantu contexts.

Abstract

On 21 March 2019, three members of BantUGent presented their post-doc research: Rozenn Guérois on "A typology of the passive voice in Bantu", Hilde Gunnink on "Language contact between migrating Bantu speakers and resident Khoisan speakers in southern Africa" and Minah Nabirye on "Duplication processes in Lusoga morphosyntax". The event took place in the 'Grote Vergaderzaal' (3rd floor, Blandijn) and was organised by ΔiaLing.
