Argument and Predicate Relations in Kiswahili: A New Analysis of Transitiveness in Bantu

This work delves into the intricate structures of transitiveness within the Kiswahili language, offering a fresh perspective on how argument and predicate relationships function in Bantu languages. Through nuanced analysis, it highlights the unique characteristics that distinguish transitiveness in Kiswahili from other Bantu languages, shedding light on the grammatical frameworks that underlie them.

Amidu’s research not only strengthens the understanding of Kiswahili's syntactic and semantic properties but also contributes significantly to the broader field of African linguistics. By exploring the complexities of argument structures, the book serves as a valuable resource for linguists, scholars, and students interested in the dynamic interplay between language and cognition in the context of Bantu languages.
