This is the first book on the syntax of the Niger-Congo language family, which includes most of the languages of sub-Saharan Africa. Aboh, who is a native speaker of one of the languages (Gungbe) discussed, analyses different aspects of the syntax of the Kwa language group. Aboh also suggests how grammatical pictures for these languages can shed some light on Universal Grammar in general.
