Download or read book Literatures in African Languages written by B. W. Andrzejewski and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1985-11-21 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although African literatures in English and French are widely known outside Africa, those in the African languages themselves have not received comparable attention. In this book a number have been selected for survey by fourteen specialist writers, providing the reader with an introduction to this very wide field and a body of reference material which includes extensive bibliographies and biographical information on African authors. Theoretical issues such as genre divisions are discussed in the essays and the historical, social and political forces at work in the creation and reception of African literature are examined. Literature is treated as an art whose medium is language, so that both the oral and written forms are encompassed. This book will be of value not only to readers concerned with the cultures of Africa but to all those with an interest in the literary phenomena of the world in general.
Download or read book Heelloy written by John William Johnson and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a completely new edition of the only scholarly work on the poetry of popular and mass culture among a people who are renowned for their passion for poetry. Johnson traces the heello movement from its origins as a youth culture which in its early days was concerned with themes of love and pleasure. It later became the medium for freedom songs in the preindependence period, for the expression of modern political ideas, political protest, rallying songs and social comment, many examples of which are cited in this volume. Heello became the most dynamic form of Somali poetry in this century. This edition uses modern Somali script.

Book excerpt: Die vorliegende grammatische Skizze des Somali (Somalia) bietet zunächst allgemeine Informationen zur Sprache wie Verbreitung, Dialekte, Status und Orthographie. Somali gehört zu dem ost-kuschitischen Zweig des Afroasiatischen. Mit einer Sprecherzahl von 9 Millionen wird es hauptsächlich in Somalia, Äthiopien, Djibuti und Nordkenia gesprochen. Als Muttersprache praktisch der gesamten Bevölkerung Somalias erfuhr das Somali nach 1972 eine beachtliche staatliche Förderung und wird heute in allen Bereichen des öffentlichen Lebens benutzt. Modernisierung und Standardisierung haben ein hohes Niveau erreicht. Der didaktisch strukturierte Hauptteil führt in die Phonologie, Morphologie und Syntax ein. Innerhalb der verbalen Morphologie stellen die attributiven Verben (attributive verbs) und die pre-verbs, welche die Präpositionen ersetzen, im Somali eine morphologische Besonderheit dar. Der Anhang enthält einen kurzen sozio-politischen Text mit englischer Übersetzung und lexiko-grammatikalischen Anmerkungen.
