1. General Information
Editors: Koen Bostoen, Maud Devos, Baudouin Janssens, Jacky Maniacky, Anneleen Van der Veken, Jenneke Van der Wal
Editorial assistant: Muriel Garsou
The first volume of the series Africana Linguistica appeared in 1962. Ten other issues followed until 1994. The series was initially devoted to the research done at Tervuren’s Linguistics department, but it was gradually opened up to other scholars. After a gap of twelve years, we have resumed the thread (No. 12 appeared in 2006), but also carried through some editorial and stylistic reforms.
Africana Linguistica is dedicated to the study of African languages with special focus on Bantu. The journal welcomes original descriptive, historical and typological papers in phonetics/phonology, morphology, syntax, lexicology and semantics. Contributions on poorly documented and described languages or lesser known language areas as well as those trying to integrate linguistics into interdisciplinary approaches of the African past are highly appreciated. Fellow researchers from Africa are especially encouraged to contribute.
