Abstract:

This grammar provides a description of an undocumented Bantu language—Chimpoto
N14—spoken in southwestern Tanzania along the shores of Lake Nyasa. The volume
covers the essential areas of Chimpoto grammar: phonology, the morphology of
nouns, noun modifiers, and verbs, pronouns, the semantics of tense and aspect,
syntax and grammatical relations, information structure, interrogatives, and
ideophones. Included are four narrative texts, a Chimpoto-English and
English-Chimpoto lexicon, and two appendices (kin relations and motion verbs).
The linguistic description is accompanied by numerous examples, most extracted
from texts or natural conversation.
