For some of the investigated varieties, the current synchronic typological analysis yields a classification within the Gbe language continuum that differs from the findings of more recent sociolinguistic surveys conducted among some of the Gbe communities as well as from the findings of Capo's (1991) and Stewart's (1994) diachronic genetic analyses. The paper discusses how the results of these different approaches compare to each other, how the identified disparities should be weighted, and what conclusions can be drawn from these findings.}, bestfn = {africa\kluge_gbe2006.pdf}, besttxt = {ptxt2\africa\kluge_gbe2006.txt}, cfn = {africa\kluge_gbe2006.pdf}, delivered = {africa\kluge_gbe2006.pdf}, doi = {10.1515/jall.2006.004}, fn = {africa\kluge_gbe2006.pdf, africa\kluge_gbe2006_o.pdf}, hhtype = {overview;comparative}, inlg = {English [eng]}, issn = {0167-6164}, keywords = {;waf;ghn;tgo;bnn;lng;grm;u.181;}, lgcode = {Awlan = Aguna [aug], Gbekon (wrongly in Nigeria?) = Wudu [wud]}, macro_area = {Africa}, src = {degruyter, eballiso2009, hh, weball}, subject_headings = {waf, bnn, lng, grm, u.181} }
