Individual session wordlists

Review wordlists from individual sessions here to avoid repeated elicitation. Remember to post whether your session is group or individual, and try to indicate roughly when it will be happening so that later sessions can adjust their lists to avoid duplicating the work of earlier sessions if they wish.

The old Bari vocab can be found here if you want to transfer wordlists to this page.

Jack

sept 26: looked at voiceless/voiced implosive contrast. found out that some words we had as one type of stop were actually the other. Found cool morphophonological alternation between voiced and voiceless implosives in verbs (sg. vs pl. subject). Confirmed that [q] is just an allophone of /k/. Word for '2' shows cool alternation; voiced implosive after some nouns, voiceless after others (depending on noun class).

Matt

Individual 029 (W. Sept. 26, 10:00)

In my individual session I found that the verb "to break, explode" (intr), [gef], has a transitive version, [gefin]. This may or may not automatically encode a third-person object ("(to) break it" was Malick's translation). I encourage people working on verbal morphology to take a look at this and similar verbs:

• to break (something)
• to burn (intransitive, transitive)
• to open (intransitive, transitive)
• to close (intransitive, transitive)
