Description and documentation of Sudan’s linguistic heritage. Some methodological insights in fieldwork and dictionary-making

Monday, November 14 2022 – 10:00 am at the UofK main campus, Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology, Postgraduate room

 

Today, several tens of languages are spoken in Sudan, many of which are still underdocumented. In this workshop, I will first introduce Sudan’s rich cultural heritage. After that, I will discuss the question of language description and documentation, and stress the importance of linguistic fieldwork as a means to better know, preserve and promote Sudanese languages. I will particularly insist on the issues and challenges linked with the activity of dictionary making. I will illustrate this conference drawing mostly examples from Koalib, a Kordofanian language, traditionally spoken in the Nuba Mountains, which I have been studying since 2000.

This workshop is performed with the support of the following Projects :

PHC-Napata – Kin terms and anthroponyms in the  languages of the Nuba Mountains

PICS – The languages of the Sudan:  a typological and areal crossroad
