Vol. 99 (2026)

With the current volume 99, we introduce a new publishing mode to Afrika und Übersee. From 2026 onwards, articles will be published individually after the completion of the reviewing process.

The first article to be published in this mode is Kolawole Adeniyi’s contribution to the analysis of synchronic variation in the syllable structure of Igede. Adeniyi shows in his article how a new syllable structure emerges due to language contact in Igede.

Further articles that will be included in this volume are Wakweya Olani Gobena and Andreas Hölzl’s contribution to relative and possessive constructions in Oromo, and Anne-Maria Fehn’s insights into oblique marking in the Khoe-Kwadi language family. While Wakweya and Hölzl’s article puts Oromo syncretism of relative and possessive markers into a wider typological perspective, Fehn discusses a semantically vacuous postposition which appears with different kinds of adverbial adjuncts in Khoe-Kwadi from an areal perspective.
