The last part covers topics such as code-switching and mixing, pidginization/creolization, and language planning.The papers in __Part I: Morphosyntax__ focus particularly on the verb and verb phrase in a variety of Niger-Congo languages, discussing several aspects of the verb morphology. The specific languages discussed include Kinande, Kilega, Kinyarwanda __(Larry Hyman)__, Kikongo-Kituba __(M. Ngalasso)__, Duala __(E. Bilao)__, Yoruba __(S.A. Lawal)__, Ewe __(A.S. Allen)__, and Gbaya 'Bodoe __(P. Roulon-Doko)__.
