African Lambdas II: Formal Semantics of African Languages—The Verbal and Clausal Domain

Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The formal semantic analysis of African languages is still a young subfield within theoretical linguistics. Starting with general overviews of the quantifier systems of individual African languages around two decades ago, there now exists a substantial body of fieldwork‐based and autochthonous formal semantic research conducted by both African

Historical Drainage Evolution and Water Level Fluctuations in the African Great Lakes Shaped Phylogeny and Biogeography of Freshwater Gastropods

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The role of historical drainage connectivity and the influence of water level fluctuations in African lakes on the evolution and distribution of macroinvertebrates remain poorly understood. This is partly because evolutionary biology research has largely focused on mobile vertebrates, such as cichlids.

Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) Cage Aquaculture in Africa: Potential Threats to Congeneric Fish Species and Advances to Detect Escapes

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Cage fish farming, a recent development in aquaculture, has enhanced fisheries production due to its higher stocking densities than traditional pond and open‐water systems. Although it can enhance production, the system can pose biodiversity threats when there is an unintentional or intentional release of stocked fish into the wild.

Dominance-as-markedness

Studies in African Linguistics, 2019
This paper examines a formal consequence of the assumption that dominance is equivalent to markedness (Casali 2016): if dominant ATR values are marked and therefore specified, while recessive values are unmarked and unspecified, then no phonological ...

Nuer Tonal inventory

Studies in African Linguistics, 2020
The tonal system of Nuer has been a matter of much uncertainty. Here we present empirical evidence in favor of a three toneme system with some typologically rare features. One of them is an intriguing case of allotony based on the phonation of the vowel:

Medicine among Nilotics in the Sud. [PDF]

BMJ, 1981
"So you are going to Ler. Well, I wish you luck. I don't know how the doctor stands it out there. It's the fly capital of the world," the pilot remarked cheerfully to me as we took off in a small single-engine plane. He was taking me, together with the fortnightly supply of food, drugs, and mail, to the American couple living there.
