Ekkehard Wolff: Reduplication, aspect, and predication focus in Central Chadic – What Lamang and Hdi tell about Malgwa verb morphology Rezensionen “The volumes [III, IV] may be recommended to all Chadicists, and to scholars making research in Afro-Asiatic languages, but also to general linguists interested in topics such as predication focus, verbal extensions, spatial relations and TAM system. Both volumes contain a valuable collection of language data which is accessible to non-Chadicists becuase [sic!] most papers provide morphological glosses and use IPA symbols.” (Izabela Will in „Studies of the Department of African Languages and Cultures“ 42/2008, S. 82-86)
