152. Language and Development in Africa. Perceptions, Ideologies and Challenges. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. xvi+358pp.
Development is essentially based on communication through language. With more than 2,000
languages being used in Africa, language becomes a highly relevant factor in all sectors of
political, social, cultural and economic life. This important sociolinguistic dimension hitherto
remains widely underrated and under-researched in Western mainstream development studies. The book discusses the resourcefulness of languages, both local and global, in view of the ongoing transformation of African
societies as much as for economic development. It starts off by
unearthing received ideologies, prejudice and cliché in Western
perceptions of Africa and her languages which are distorted by
Eurocentrism and Orientalism. From a novel Applied African Sociolinguistics perspective, it analyses the continuing effects of linguistic imperialism on post-colonial African societies, in particular
regarding the educational sector, through imposed hegemonic
languages such as Arabic and the ex-colonial languages of European provenance. It offers a broad interdisciplinary scientific approach to the linguistic dimensions of sociocultural modernisation and economic development in Africa, written for both the
non-linguistically trained reader and the linguistically trained researcher and language practitioner.

150./151. The Lamang Language and Dictionary. Documenting Gwàɗ Làmàη - Endangered
Chadic Language of Northeastern Nigeria. 2 Vols. Cologne: Rüdiger Köppe. 501 + 609
pp.
These two volumes bring an almost life-long documentation project of an endangered Central
Chadic language in Northeastern Nigeria to a close which began with the author’s first linguistic fieldwork in the Gwoza Emirate in 1968/69.
151. Vol.I: The Lamang Language
The first volume introduces the Lamang Language Documentation Project, discusses language nomenclature and classification within Central Chadic (A), and deals with issues of
transcription and practical ortho-graphy. It contains A Revised Grammar of Lamang (to replace the 1983 out-of-stock grammar by the author) with new and fully interlinearized examples, reflecting new insights into the structure of the language in the light of more recent advances in Chadic linguistics. It further contains two substantial chapters
discussing elements of Lamang-Hdi Comparative Phonology, Grammar,
and Lexicon which establish the nature of the relationship between
Lamang and its closest sister language Hdi which is spoken across the
international border in Cameroon and with which it forms the ‘Lamang
Group’.
150. Vol.II: A Dictionary of Lamang
The second volume contains a concordance-based Lamang-English Dictionary extracted from
a corpus of recorded natural speech of about 40,000 words, complemented by an EnglishLamang Reference List. Head entries (about 2,000 lemmata) are fully
vocalized lexical roots and grammatical morphemes which are illustrated by (a) all occurring morphological forms (both derivational and
inflectional), and (b) all phonologically variant forms (including contrastive tone and non-contrastive pitch accent, as well as morphophonologically conditioned vowel length, stress, and umlaut) as they were
transcribed in natural narrative discourse contexts and for pieces of
oral verbal art, amounting to up to 15,000 different “words” of this language.

149. Africa: Challenges of Multilingualism. Afrika: Herausforderungen der Mehrsprachigkeit. Les défis du plurilinguisme en Afrique, edited by Claus Altmayer and H. Ekkehard Wolff. (SPRACHE-KULTUR-GESELLSCHAFT 14.) Frankfurt a.M.: Peter Lang. 252pp.
The book presents a collection of papers in English, French, and German which touch on a
wide variety of cultural, political, and educational ramifications of multilingualism in Africa. Apart from the general introduction, all contributions stem
from African scholars representing their inside perspective on
matters. The contributions refer to the sociolinguistic situations
most of all in Benin, Kenya, Mali, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan, and
Togo. They deal with aspects of language contact and language
change, language empowerment and protection of linguistic diversity, linguistic landscape and language legitimisation, regional integration, HIV/AIDS communication, and language issues in education from primary to tertiary level. A special sub-focus is on the
teaching of foreign languages such as German in Africa.

148. Was ist eigentlich Afrikanistik? Eine kleine Einführung in die Welt der afrikanischen
Sprachen, ihre Rolle in Kultur und Gesellschaft, und ihre Literaturen. (SPRACHE-KULTUR-GESELLSCHAFT 13.) Frankfurt a.M.: Peter Lang. 130 pp. (Unter Mitarbeit von Ari
Awagana and Marion Feuerstein.)
Emerging some 125 years ago during Imperial Germany’s short period
of active colonialism, German-speaking African Linguistics (Afrikanistik) has since developed a unique transdisciplinary model approach to
the study of African languages, cultures, and societies. Taking Africa’s
linguistic plurality and diversity as a starting point, the book introduces
the new research paradigm language as resource within the framework of “Applied African Sociolinguistics”. The traditional linguistic approach is exemplified by a lucid treatment of Hausa (West Africa) in a
chapter provided by Ari Awagana. The literary science approach is illustrated by a close look at political lyrics in Kiswahili (East Africa) in a
chapter written by Marion Feuerstein.

142. Our People’s Own (Ina Lamaη). Traditions and specimens of oral literature from a dying
culture in the southern Lake Chad Basin in Central Africa. (AFRIKANISTISCHE FORSCHUNGEN
11.) Hamburg: Research and Progress Verlag. 403pp. (In cooperation with Abdullahi
Ndaghra [postum] and E. Adwiraah.)
This book contains a rich corpus of commented and annotated
translations of texts pertaining to cultural traditions, ethnohistory, folk tales and songs which were recorded from native
speakers of Lamang, a Central Chadic language in North-Eastern
Nigeria. The appendices offer the original Lamang texts, notes on
informants and text collecting, a glossary of Lamang cultural
terms, list of ethnonyms, clans and lineages, a sketch and glossary of kinship system and terms, and a Lamang-centric schematic perception model of the ethnic world around them.
1993
141. Referenzgrammatik des Hausa. Zur Begleitung des Fremdsprachenunterrichts und Einführung in das Selbststudium. Münster-Hamburg: LIT. 529 pp.
This is the first modern reference grammar of Hausa. It compiles
received knowledge and identifies still controversial issues on the
structure of Hausa, and systematically provides data on dialectal
variation where available. In many instances, synchronic irregularities are linked to diachronic hypotheses on older stages of the
linguistic history of Hausa in order to explain apparent “exceptions” to synchronic rules. All of the richly provided Hausa examples are given with tonal marking and indication of vowel length.

140. Ina Lamaη. Documents of Oral Traditions in Gwaɗ Lamaη. Collected in the Gwoza Area
of Borno State, Nigeria. Hamburg: Research and Progress. 130 pp. (With Alhaji Abdullahi Ndaghra [posthumous].)
This is the first book ever written and published in this Central
Chadic language, using a tentative semi-standardised orthography. It contains texts from oral traditions and verbal art which
were collected from speakers of this language in 1968-69 and
1973-74. The book was produced for non-commercial distribution
(assisted by the German Foreign Office) in the Lamang speaking
area for reading pleasure. It is hoped to serve as incentive and reference book for final orthographic standardisation, and in order
to initiate mother-tongue literacy.

Satti.] 100 pp.
This is a selection – in the Hausa language – of six stories as contained both in the world-famous collection of the brothers Grimm in
German and Abubakar Imam’s book Magana Jari Ce in Hausa. The
book was produced (assisted by the German Foreign Office) for noncommercial distribution and use as post-literacy material in schools
and village libraries in the Hausa speaking areas in Nigeria and Niger,
with illustrations provided by the Sudanese artist Abdel Lateef Satti
(Maiduguri).

135. Afrikanische Sprachen in Forschung und Lehre. 75 Jahre Afrikanistik in Hamburg 19091984. (HAMBURGER BEITRÄGE ZUR WISSENSCHAFTSGESCHICHTE 1.) Berlin: Dietrich Reimer. 230
pp. (With H. Meyer-Bahlburg, in cooperation with L. Gerhardt and S. Uhlig.)
The book provides a detailed historical account of the youngest of the
three German founding institutions of “Afrikanistik” besides Berlin
(1885) and Leipzig (1900), namely Hamburg (1909). It makes reference to the early political and ideological background of Christian missions and colonialism, and acknowledges the input of African cooperators for the development of African linguistics at Hamburg. The book
delineates foci of teaching and research as they developed and
changed over time, and lists publications by staff members and the
awarding of degrees – as far as the available archival documents allow.
1983

133. A Grammar of the Lamang Language (Gwàɗ Làmàη). (AFRIKANISTISCHE FORSCHUNGEN 10.)
Glückstadt: J. J. Augustin. 272 pp.
This book is the first monographic description and a kind of model
analysis of a Central Chadic language along the Nigeria/Cameroon
border with highly complex and typologically challenging structures
in phonology and grammar. The verbal grammar is fully tonal, the
nominal grammar is not, with interference of syllable-initial “depressor” consonants. The vowel system allows for abstract analyses
which leaves the language with possibly only one true vowel phoneme in diachronic terms. In verbal morphology, inflexional and
derivational subsystems interact in intricate manners, with complex
coding of information structure playing a salient role. – Since the
book is out of print and stock, “A Revised Grammar of Lamang” has
been included in “The Lamang Language and Dictionary” (2015).
1981
132. Die Sprachen Afrikas, ed. by Bernd Heine, Thilo C. Schadeberg, Ekkehard Wolff. Hamburg: Helmut Buske. 655 pp.
This first modern handbook on African languages covers, in 19
chapters, the history of African linguistics, language families and
subgroups within the African language phyla (Niger-Kordofanian,
Afroasiatic, Nilosaharan, Khoisan), methods of language comparison, language typology, language geography, language and history,
language and society, and African literature. Chapters were written
by Paul P. De Wolf, Ludwig Gerhardt, Bernd Heine and Rainer
Voßen, Inge Hofmann and Franz Rottland, Karl-Heinz Jansen,
Mechthild Reh, Franz Rottland and Rainer Voßen, Wilhelm J. G.
Möhlig, Hans-Jürgen Sasse, Thilo C. Schadeberg, Th. C. Schadeberg

131. Sprachkunst der Lamang. Stil, Bedeutung und poetische Dimension in zwei Genres oral
tradierter Ein-Satz-Literatur. (AFRIKANISTISCHE FORSCHUNGEN 8). Glückstadt: J. J. Augustin.
158 pp.
In this book, a small corpus of proverbs and riddles from Lamang, a
Central Chadic language in North-Eastern Nigeria, are subjected to
refined analysis in terms of identifying various kinds of parallelism,
such as both segmental and tonal rhymes, in addition to startling
lexical selection. The book applies a stringent structural linguistic
approach to the formal and semantic analysis of miniature pieces of
verbal art, and offers astounding insights into the aesthetic beauty
of Lamang proverbs and riddles. The study belies traditionally held
assumptions that traditional African verbal art is ignorant of
“rhyme” unless borrowed from Arabic models.
1972
130. Die Verbalphrase des Laamang (Nordostnigeria). Eine Studie zur Morphologie tschadischer Sprachen. (Doctoral dissertation, Hamburg University.)
213 pp.

hitherto practically undescribed Central Chadic language, based on the
author’s initial field work of five months in Gwoza, North-Eastern Nigeria, in 1968/69. This study piloted the full description of the grammar
of this languages, based on a second and extensive field work period
(1973-74), published 1983.
