SANTOS (Eduardo dos). ELEMENTOS de Gramática Quioca. Lisboa. 1962. - SANTOS (Eduardo dos) ELEMENTOS de Gramática Quioca . Lisboa: Agência Geral do Ultramar, 1962. 224 pp.; 230 mm. Grammar of the Chokwe language, spoken in northeastern Angola, in the Cuango, Lunda and Moxico regions, and extending to southern Congo and northwestern Zambia. This work presents the elements of the language's structure: phonetics and orthography, noun classes, agreement, pronouns, the verbal system, and syntax, with examples that serve both the scholar and anyone who might need to communicate with the Kioca-speaking populations. It integrates into the tradition of grammars and vocabularies of Angolan languages, whose earlier landmarks are the works of missionaries and administrators, and is a useful reference for ethnolinguistics and the colonial history of Angola. A work of interest to African studies and the history of linguistics in Portugal. Curious. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
