Abstract:The present volume contains a collection of papers most of which have originally been presented at the 31st and 32nd Deutscher Orientalistentag at Marburg/Lahn 2010 (Firsching, Rothmaler, Schwarz) and Münster 2013 (Aziaku, Tahiri), respectively. The two remaining contributions (Agbakoba, Ebobissé) have been accomplished as a result of research projects that were carried out during the authors' recent stays as visiting researchers at the Goethe University of Frankfurt am Main. The topics dealt with in the articles broadly range from sociolinguistics (language politics in Cameroon and Uganda; linguistic change in a Berber variety as spoken in Germany; the impact of sociolinguistics on Ewe faunal terminology) to sociocultural studies (cultural and political philosophy and the West African; metaphor translation in Hausa and Swahili; traditional cuisine in northern Nigeria).
