| Research Abstract |
In this project, we conducted sociolinguistic and descriptive- linguistic field work in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda, in order to research the relationship and interaction between Swahili, which is the "trans-ethnic language" and local ethnic languages in the Swahili-speaking range. Different types of language contact can be observed in the Swahili-speaking range, and language situations differ from community to community. Our project, which has gathered and compared data from many different language communities in order to grasp the situation comprehensively, contributes a more accurate description of the dynamics of the sociolinguistic situation of the Swahili-speaking range.
