This book is a composite of 40 purely scientific and peer-reviewed
papers presented during the Seventh World Congress of African
Linguistics (WOCAL7) at the University of Buea, Cameroon, in 2012. The
different chapters of the volume fall within the scope of African
languages in relation to linguistics and other related disciplines,
where a varied range of theoretical examinations, investigations and/or
discussions as well as pure description of aspects of language are
offered. For the purpose of clarity and easy accessibility of the
content, the chapters are further subcategorized into nine sections,
which include: Borrowing, Discourse Analysis, Historical Linguistics,
Intercultural Communication, Language Documentation, Language in
Education, Morpho-syntax, Phonetics and Phonology, and Sociolinguistics.
