Paradigmatic Grammar of Gikuyu
by John Mugane
This monograph grew out of a project funded by the Berkeley-Stanford Joint Centers vocabularies project. It covers a wide range of linguistic aspects of the Gikuyu language, most of which is not available in existing grammars of the language. Aspects covered include: consonantal mutations, syllabification, the gender class system, types of nominalizations, the noun phrase, the verb phrase, possess or ascension, the tense aspect paradigms.
Additionally, the monograph includes a short lexicon of cultural terminology relating to aspects of Gikuyu life such as the rites of passage, garments and ornaments, foods, the environment.
