This book is about serial predicate constructions (SPCs) in Kiswahili, traditionally auxiliary and main verbs. They are popularly called "compound tenses" consisting of two verbs, each with its Tense-Aspect-Mood (TAM) marker. The term has drawbacks. The book distinguishes between TAM-taking verbs and non-TAM-taking verbs, which regularly combine to form auxiliary-main verb phrases or SPCs. Unlike Indo-European languages, all verbs that can function as auxiliary verbs can also function as main ve

Almost all of the languages of the world have some noun categorization devices in their grammar. The most widespread is linguistic genders — grammatical classes of nouns based on core semantic properties such as sex (female and male), animacy, humanness, and also shape and size. Numeral classifiers categorise the noun referent in terms of its inherent nature, animacy, shape and form, and occur with a number word or a quantifier. Further types of noun categorization include noun classifiers, poss

Machine Translation (MT) models knowingly suffer from gender bias, especially for genders beyond the binary. Since issues of non-binary representation and language use are still often neglected in both Translation Studies (TS) and MT, this book investigates the translation and post-editing of gender-fair language beyond the binary in a process and product-oriented study. Twelve language professionals were recruited and asked to either translate or post-edit three brief English texts into German.

Motivation and Topics of Interest: Understanding how LLMs capture, propagate, or even invent semantic shifts raises fundamental questions for lexicography, language modeling, and semantic resources. Addressing these questions requires close collaboration between computational linguistics, lexicography, and lexical resource development. Such interdisciplinary work can shed light on how large language models both reflect and reshape linguistic creativity, an inquiry that lies at the core of the
