Nominator's project description
| Professor Schadeberg is one of the leading africanists in the field of Niger-Congo languages, where he in particular did basic research on hitherto unknown Bantu and Kordofanian languages. He made seminal contributions to tonological and phonological issues of African languages as well as in the field of historical comparative linguistics. Based on his life-long research on Swahili, especially in recent years on its southern outliers in Mocambique, he aims at preparing a modern reference grammar of Swahili, urgently needed in academic teaching and to be uesed by wider general linguists' audience. |
