Opis

Kimatuumbi is a Bantu language spoken in Tanzania. Its two most interesting phonological properties are vowel length and tone, and it provides data that are crucial for resolving certain questions in contemporary phonological theory. This book is the first detailed modern study of the language.

Recenzje

a landmark in Bantu studies ... I enthusiastically recommend this work to any serious Bantu linguist and to anyone interested in the complex questions of tonology and tonal morphology.
