Sifra Van Acker presented a talk titled “Contact-induced change in Kisamba (Bantu, L12a), a poorly described Congolese language” at the 9th World Congress of African Linguistics in Rabat (Morocco) on August 25, 2018. Kisamba is a West-Coastal Bantu language belonging to the Kikongo Language Cluster, more specifically the Kikongoid subgroup. Being spoken by small speech communities that are scattered over the Kwilu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kisamba underwent several distinctive changes through contact with other West-Coastal Bantu languages, such as the B80 languages, and South-West Bantu languages, such as Kimbala (H41) and Kwezo (L13). This talk focused on three of these contact-induced changes: the voicing of coronal and velar stops, final vowel loss and double negation.
