I recently learned that a group of Cameroonian linguists are putting together informal discussion groups around Chadic languages. There’s a meeting coming up February 20. Would be great to have more people join in on the discussion if possible!

La réduplication figée en Gizey/ Frozen reduplication in Gizey
This presentation contributes to discussions on reduplication by analysing frozen reduplicatives in Gizey and other languages of the Masa group under analogy from imitative forms with full copying. Residues of ancient partial reduplicative processes will also be considered in this presentation.
