This paper criticizes Doke's classification of Bantu languages in African Studies, Vol. 9, No. 1. Comparisons are made with a number of structurally very similar languages in North Australia (not usually known to Africanists, but of interest to them). These would be classified as “agglutinative with a tendency to inflexion”. Doke's use of the term “agglutination” and more especially “infixation” is discussed. The view is put forward that both these terms are used in a manner unusual amongst linguists, and it is suggested that if the terms are given their usual connotation, the Bantu languages will also be grouped as “agglutinating with a tendency to inflexion” and not vice versa. |
