A documentation project of Notre, a Gur language of Benin
The Endangered Language Documentation Programme (ELDP) provides grants worldwide for the documentation of endangered languages and knowledge. Grantees create audiovisual collections with transcription and translations of endangered languages and practices. These collections are preserved and made freely available through the Endangered Languages Archive (ELAR).
| Notre is an endangered minority language of western Benin, with very little previous description or documentation. The aim of this project is to create a representative corpus of primary data consisting of annotated texts (both audio and video), including interviews, conversations, songs, and narratives. As part of a planned PhD project the corpus will be used as a tool in analysing the main features of the language, regarding phonology and morphosyntax. |
