[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] There is no way Mboli can claim he has reconstructed the various grammatical stages of Negro-Egyptien, because we don't have written text for the various proposed stages of the languages classified in Negro-Egyptien. Mboli’s view is that there is [QUOTE][qb] VI.14 Évolution grammaticale du négro-égyptien…………………… 361 VI.14.1 Grammaire du négro-égyptien archaïque ………………….. 362 VI.14.2 Grammaire du négro-égyptien pré-classique………………. 365 VI.14.3 Grammaire du négro-égyptien classique…………………… 367 VI.14.4 Grammaire du négro-égyptien post-classique........................ 370 [/qb][/QUOTE]Mboli can not claim to present the stages of Negro-Egyptian (NE) because he fails to have diachronic view of Negro-Egyptian due to a lack of written text for the languages making up the subgroups of NE. To be able to discover the various grammatical stages/styles discussed by Mboli we need to see successive synchronic grammars of African languages as represented in written text. The true Historical linguist looks at the changes that have occured in a language through the comparison of successive synchronic grammars as indicated by text written in the various grammars. The absence of ancient text in the sub-languages of NE, except for Egyptian and Mande makes any discussion of archaic NE, post-classic NE and etc., a mute point. . [/QB][/QUOTE]
