摘　　要：新时代中非合作和非洲地区研究学科的发展对非洲人文研究提出了新的需求,而本土语言研究是非洲人文研究的重要基础。班图语言(Bantu languages)的使用人口超过非洲总人口的四分之一,在国际语言学界有着超过百年的研究历程。笔者通过自身在欧洲进行班图语言研究的经历和观察,梳理班图语言在欧洲的研究历程和现状。论文首先介绍班图语言的分类和使用情况,及其基本语法结构和热点研究问题,指出班图语言的语法特征包括类名词系统、以动词为核心的黏着形态和句法层面丰富的一致关系;随后梳理了从前殖民时期欧洲对班图语言从宗教文献翻译需求到建立研究学科的发展历程,总结了布利克(Bleek)、迈因霍夫(Meinhof)、缪森(Meeussen)和古特里(Guthrie)等代表性学者在不同时代作出的贡献。论文还介绍了当代欧洲主要的班图语言研究机构,如比利时根特大学、荷兰莱顿大学等的近期研究项目和成果,最后对非洲语言学研究在我国的发展和与非洲本土学者的合作研究模式提出了设想。New demands appear for humanities studies on Africa in the new era along with the Sino-African cooperation and the development of African research disciplines;the local African languages are an important basis for African research of humanities.The population using the Bantu languages account for over a quarter of the total African population,with a research history of over a century in international academic circles.Through my own research experience and observation in Europe regarding the Bantu languages this paper sorts out the European history and status quo of research on the Bantu languages.First,an introduction is made to the classification and use of Bantu languages as well as their basic grammatical structures and hot research issues,pointing out the Bantu languages′grammatical features include quasi-noun system,the dependent morphology with verb as core,and rich agreement relationships syntactically.Then,it presents the development process from pre-colonial Europe′s demand for religious document translation to the establishment of research disciplines,summarizing the contributions by such representative scholars as Bleek,Meinhof,Meeussen and Guthrie in different eras.It also introduces the recent research projects and achievements of major contemporary European institutions of Bantu languages such as Ghent University(Belgium)and Leiden University(Holland).Finally,it envisions the development of research on the Bantu languages in China and the future research cooperation models with indigenous African scholars.
