Cross-Disciplinary Approaches to Information Structure in Niger-Congo Languages

This volume contains a selection of papers that were originally presented at a workshop ``Cross-disciplinary approaches to Information Structure in African languages", held in Porto-Novo, Benin in 2022. Eight papers explore information structure in Niger-Congo languages from different linguistic angles: phonetics, phonology, syntax and semantics. The papers address a range of topics in different Niger-Congo languages from both junior and senior scholars in the field of linguistics, reflectingboth the diversity of languages and scholarship in African linguistics.
