Comments from the external examiner:
The main findings of the research point to the fact that (a) An overwhelming majority (98%) of Full Lexicalized-Integrated SVCs have nominal counterparts; 2% do not; (b) Only 3% of Partial Lexicalized-Integrated SVCs have nominal counterparts; 97% do not; (c) Clause Chaining Serial Constructions appear to nominalize haphazardly and/or unsystematically as frozen sentences or figures of speech (idioms, proverbs, etc.; (d) The primary function of such forms, he identified, were what Charles Morris (1971) calls denotata and designata; Full Lexicalized-Integrated SVCs behave as lexicalized idioms and because of this, four criteria of idiomaticity namely -- collocability, familiarity, flexibility and compositionality -- are applied to them; and (g) There is systematicity in the pattern of nominalization behavior of serial verb nominals across the main Akan dialects.
This work recapitulates and substantially extends work already done on Akan SVCs by Osam (1994), Agyeman (2002) and others. A major contribution of the dissertation is the detailed discussion and exemplification of issues relating to nominalization of SVCs. This is the first attempt at such a detailed discussion and exemplification and the candidate deserves commendation. His categorizations are original as is his attention to scholarly detail and to showing the relationship between and among the three major Akan dialects. One could conveniently argue that this is one of the strongest points of the dissertation.
Very little has been done on Akan nominalization in general and little to nothing on SVC nominalization in particular, so this study is a trailblazer or a path-finder! Syntacticians and semanticists will cite this work and continue with the discussion and issues it raises for the next couple of decades. I am impressed with the details and both the candidate and his advisors must be commended for the high degree of systematicity employed in the synthesis and analyses done in the study.
The candidate drew his conclusions based on the actual data collected and on the results (synthesis and analysis of the data) thereby making the analytical claims have functional validity and protecting them from standing insulated from public scrutiny. This is, again, commendable.
The recommendations for future research, especially, his call for comparing SVNs with other types of nominalizations, is in the right direction more especially due to the scantiness and dearth of knowledge about nominalizations in general about Akan and other West African languages in particular.
The dissertation is very well written and I am willing to pass it without any reservation whatsoever. The content is excellent as is its rendition.
Comments from the internal examiner:
The study does a good job of relating the data and findings to broader theoretical debates in the Functional/cognitive linguistic literature. For example, study results suggest that, at least in the Akan data examined, higher degrees of semantic integration in complex forms correlate with lower degrees of iconicity. Further, the subtype categories of serial verb constructions identified by Osam (1994) are "fuzzy" categories in terms of ability to undergo nominalization. This supports the prototype approach to categorization, rather than a classical "sharp-boundary" approach to categorization.
Though the author does not particularly draw it out rhetorically, the study sits squarely within the linguistic sub-field of Lexicography: the study is a detailed investigation of speakers' lexical knowledge of nouns formed (either historically or productively possibly in the moment of speaking) from serial verb constructions. In my view, the lexicographic work, bringing out native-speaker knowledge about the complex forms including in some cases how this may have changed across time and may vary by dialect, may be one of the most enduring contributions of the study. Many of the item-by-item findings could, for example, largely be incorporated into an etymological dictionary of Akan.
The study contributes new information to understanding the cross-linguistic and Akan-internal typology of nominalizations of serial verb constructions. The minute detail on dialect variation is valuable for sociolinguistic variationist studies.

United States Eyes Ivory Coast for Drone Base to Solidify Ties With West Africa | Firstpost Africa |
US Eyes Ivory Coast for Drone Base to Solidify Ties With West Africa | Firstpost Africa | N18G
Amid growing instability in the Sahel region and shifting geopolitical dynamics, the United States is actively pursuing closer security ties with the Ivory Coast, including discussions about establishing a drone base in the West African nation. This development comes as the US seeks to reposition its military presence in the region following its withdrawal from Niger. The strengthening partnership was highlighted during a recent visit by US Marine Corps General Michael Langley, Commander of US Africa Command (AFRICOM), who attended the opening ceremony of Flintlock 2025 in Jacqueville on April 24. During his visit, a key topic of discussion was the potential establishment of a drone base in Ivory Coast. While no final decision has been made regarding constructing a permanent facility, advanced talks are reportedly underway between the US and Ivorian authorities. Watch this video to know more.

This presentation sets out to introduce the concept of bedroom colonialism and the related concept of mulattofication as intergenerational scourges of classical and contemporary Kmtyw ‘Black People’. By means of multimodal, multidisciplinary analysis and participant observation of victims of bedroom colonialism (BC) via fieldwork in their natural environment, we demonstrate multiple examples of these concepts in their socio-cultural milieu. We find that, as intended by anti-Black perpetrators of BC (eurasians), bedroom colonialism has and continues to pose a significant impediment to the acquisition, maintenance, and expansion of Abibitumi ‘Black Power’ and Abibifahodie ‘Black Liberation’. In conclusion, once the root causes of bedroom colonialism are understood, conceptual clarity may be attained and correct courses of action may be pursued.
“Bedroom colonialism” is a term used to describe a form of intimate or interpersonal colonialism that manifests within romantic and sexual relationships, often highlighting the dynamics of power, race, and exploitation. It involves the perpetuation of colonial attitudes and behaviors in private, intimate spaces, where one partner, often from a dominant or colonizing culture, exerts control or dominance over the other, typically from a marginalized or colonized background.
This concept can be understood through various lenses, such as:
1. Racial Fetishization and Exoticism: It involves viewing a partner primarily through a racialized or exoticized lens, reducing them to stereotypes or fantasies rooted in colonial histories. This reduces the partner to an object of desire based on their race, rather than valuing them as a whole person.
2. Power Dynamics: In these relationships, power imbalances reflect broader societal hierarchies, where the dominant partner may exert control, whether overtly or subtly, over the marginalized partner. This can manifest in emotional manipulation, coercion, or even subtle forms of dominance that replicate colonial power structures.
3. Cultural Appropriation and Erasure: The dominant partner might appropriate or disrespect the cultural practices and identities of the marginalized partner, further entrenching a sense of dominance and superiority. This can lead to the erasure of the marginalized partner’s cultural identity within the relationship.
4. Historical Context: This concept is rooted in historical practices where colonizers exploited and dehumanized colonized people, including sexual violence and forced relationships. These historical traumas often reverberate in contemporary relationships, reflecting unresolved issues of power, control, and racial dynamics.
In examining “bedroom colonialism,” it is crucial to consider the work of scholars and thinkers who delve into the intersections of race, sexuality, and power, such as bell hooks, Audre Lorde, and Frantz Fanon. These perspectives help shed light on how intimate relationships can perpetuate systemic inequalities and the importance of addressing these dynamics to foster more equitable and respectful partnerships.
Kirango is an old village on the banks of the Niger river, 35 km from Ségou. The village is inhabited by Bamana (farmers) and Bozo/Somono (fishermen). Both ethnic groups celebrate their masquerades, each in their own way.
The masquerade of the Bamana ('sogo bò' - the animal comes out) is organized by the 'ton' (youth association) every jear, in June. It comprises ‘sogow’ (animals): masks and large puppets that represent spirits, animals (domestic, wild, or mythical), and human personages.
They are accompanied by drumming, singing and dancing.
