The book on current linguistic developments in Chadic languages offers a comprehensive exploration of recent generative theoretical approaches such as minimalism, cartography, optimality and other linguistic domains such as onomasiology. It applies fine-grained syntactic cartography to the description of functional projections in the clausal and nominal domains of selected Chadic languages, a major branch of the Afroasiatic family spoken in Central and West Africa. Data of Bana, Hausa, Muyang, Musgum, Kotoko-Mpade, giziga, etc. provide evidence to the hierarchical order of syntactic structures such as the left periphery, the Agreement Phrase and the articulated structures of the Verb Phrase. The book also deals with some phonological rules and explain how phonological process interact with syntactic and lexical process. This includes prosodies, tones, stress, etc. The volume permits to understand the grammar of Chadic language and lexicology.
