Morphosyntactic core features of Kivu Swahili: A synopsis (eng) |

| Sprache | eng |
| Zusammenfassung | This paper aims to summarize the most salient features of Kivu Swahili, the variety of Kiswahili spoken in the Kivu provinces of DR Congo. It addresses the core differences between ECS (Kiswahili as spoken on the Tanzanian coast) and the Swahili from Goma/Bukavu, also taking into consideration contact-induced change and speakers’ free variations. The paper aims to illustrate the complex morphosyntax of the language, and questions the general description of the variety as a ‘pidginized’ or ‘simplified’ form of Kiswahili, due to its divergence from ECS and the peripheral location of the community of speakers. Moreover, the paper aims to address speakers’ acrolectal reference to the standard variety, and discusses this latter against a theoretical background of the ‘constructedness’ of East Coast Swahili. Some concluding remarks summarize the salient features of Kivu Swahili, and suggest perspectives on more in-depth analyses of the language. Der vorliegende Aufsatz fasst die grundlegenden Merkmale des Kivu Swahili zusammen, der in den kongolesischen Kivuprovinzen gesprochenen Varietät. Es werden die Hauptunterschiede zwischen ECS (dem Swahili der tansanischen Küste) und dem Swahili von Goma/Bukavu angesprochen, auch kontaktinduzierten Sprachwandel und die freien Variationen von Sprechern miteinschließend. Die komplexe Morphosyntax der Sprache wird skizziert, und die generelle Beschreibung der Varietät als “pidginisierte” oder “simplifizierte” Form des Swahili aufgrund ihrer Divergenz vom ECS und der peripheren Lokalisierung der Sprechergemeinschaft soll kritisch hinterfragt werden. Zudem wird der akrolektale Verweis von Sprechern auf die Standard-Varietät angesprochen, und vor dem theoretischen Hintergrund der ‘Konstruiertheit’ des Ostküstenswahilis diskutiert. Einige abschließende Bemerkungen runden die hervorstechenden Merkmale des Kivu Swahili ab, und richten die Perspektive auf eine weitere tiefgehende Analyse der Sprache. |
