Description
A seminal chapter by Kießling et al. (2008) identified a concentration of preverbal clitic clusters in the Tanzanian Rift Valley Area. Crucially they noted that preverbal clitic placement is neither a prominent feature of Nilotic nor the Bantu languages of the area and as such, they considered preverbal clitic clusters to represent an areal feature reflecting the sustained history of language contact in the area. The present paper builds on the foundation laid out by Kießling et al. (2008) and expands to include a broader range of languages, allowing for more detailed discussion and the inclusion of additional data.
