Excerpt from Language-Study Based on Bantu or an Inquiry Into the Laws of Root-Formation: The Original Plural, the Sexual Dual, and the Principles of Word-Comparison; Tables Illustrating the Primitive Pronominal System Restored in the African Bantu Family of Speech
The author, who since 1853 has been a missionary of the London Missionary Society, and before that time was connected with the Rhenish Herero Mission in Damaraland, is, as far as philology is concerned, a self-taught worker. When sent to Damaraland in 1848, he could not possibly have dreamt of ever writing a treatise on the Principles of Language. But when, in conjunction with his colleagues, the Rev. Dr. C. H. Hahn and the Rev. J. Rath, he studied Herero, he was from the very first fascinated with its marvellous structural regularity and wealth of pronominal forms. Fortunately, he knew from Gesenius's Hebrew Grammar and Heyse's Lehrbuch der Deutschen Sprache that there are only three primitive vowels (a, i, u), and was struck to find only these three in the pronominal roots of Herero; and in grouping the formative prefixes of the noun (or roots of pronouns) according to their consonantal sounds, he conjectured that there must be some difference of meaning between such forms as oka- (KA), otyi- (KI), oku- (KU), and that this difference must be caused hythe vowels. And turning to the verb, he received the same impression, though what that difference might be he had not the remotest conception.

Language-Study Based on Bantu or an Inquiry Into the Laws of Root-Formation
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a new method of language analysis grounded in the Bantu languages of Central and Southern Africa. In particular, the author focuses on Herero, a language rich in primitive structures, which provides clues to the earliest forms of spoken language. The author, who is a linguist and missionary, argues that the Bantu languages have been preserved in a more primitive state than the better-known Indo-European languages which dominate most of Western education and literature today. The book offers new and evocative insights into the relationship between words and things and thereby, between humans and nature. It sheds light on the very origins of speech, and the principles of universal grammar. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330654224_0
