Introduction

Grassfields Bantu Fieldwork: Dschang Tone Paradigms was produced by Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) catalog number LDC2003S02 and ISBN 1-58563-254-6.

The data contains tone paradigms of the language Yémba (Bamileke Dschang), a Bamileke (Grassfields Bantu) language spoken by 300,000+ people in Southwestern Cameroon.

Data

There are 45 paradigm pages in html format. Each page lists 32 utterances, varying across subject, verb, and object. Each utterance has one to three links to recordings in .wav format, as well as a laryngograph recording (also in .wav format). Phonetic transcription has been done for every utterance; tonological transcription has been done for a little more than half.

Recorded: June 1997, Dschang, Western Province, and recording studio of SIL Cameroon, Yaoundé

Digitized, Labelled and Segmented: 1997-1998 Phonetics Laboratory, University of Edinburgh

Transcribed and Annotated: 1998-2002 LDC, University of Pennsylvania

Updates

There are no updates available at this time.

Due to a problem with the way a number of images are rendered by the Windows operating system, the CD is recommended to be viewed in the Unix operating system, which displays the icons correctly.

Note

The cost of the first 100 copies of this publication (not counting the copies distributed to LDC members) is covered by NSF Grant Number 9983258, and therefore free of charge to qualified researchers; a $30 shipping and handling fee applies.
