A Descriptive Grammar of Ewondo. Occasional Papers on Linguistics, Number 4.
Redden, James E.
A descriptive grammar of Ewondo, a Northwest Bantu language spoken in southern Cameroon, Africa is presented. Ewondo is a dialect cluster which is part of a larger dialect cluster usually called Yaunde-Fang. The variety of Ewondo presented is based on the speech of a single individual, who comes from Yaounde-Eturi. Occasional references to other dialects are included. Contents of the grammar are as follows: symbols, phonology, stem and word formation, noun classes, noun formation, modifier nouns, pronouns, verbs, stem extensions, auxiliary verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, sentence types, relative clauses, coordination, and if-clauses. Some exercises, a dictionary, and a brief bibliography are included. (SW)
