<p class=MsoNormal>Call: Primary Sources on Khoesan Languages <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Date: 04-Apr-2008 <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Subject: Call: Primary Sources on Khoesan Languages<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>E-mail this message to a friend<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Inspired by the work of the late linguist Tony Traill on
preserving recordings of extinct South African languages, a volume of primary
sources from existing Khoesan languages is being planned. The editors are
seeking contributions in the form of texts, recordings, or video content in
Khoesan languages, including any of the following: |Xam, !Xóõ, =Hoan, Griqua, |Gui,
||Gana, N|uu (including the |'Auni dialect), Kwadi, Richtersveld Nama, =Ungkwe,
||Xegwi and !Ora. For any content submitted, please submit a transcription (if
a recording), and English translation, if available. We intend to include a
comprehensive phonetic reference chart as a guide for all the covered
languages, as well as an accompanying DVD in the final publication if there is
substantial multimedia content submitted. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The intended date of publication is June of 2009, to be
edited by Kems Monaka and Charles Riley, and published by Athinkra. Please note
that this anthology will be focused on putting primary sources into print that
have not previously been published, i.e. actual texts, recordings, etc., collected
from fieldwork rather than commentary and secondary interpretation, aside from
reference notes. Multimedia submissions (Video, DVD, audio) are encouraged for
submission and will be considered. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please mail submissions to kemmonye[at]gmail[dot]com. Text
in a Unicode-compliant font is preferred. If you have any IPA characters not representable
in Unicode, please embed the font(s) used in your document and consult us
before sending your file. Audio may be submitted in .aiff, .wav, .mp3, or .ogg
format; and video preferably as .mpeg, .ogv or .wmv. If conversion from analog
is needed, please consult us for details. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Submission deadline: June 30, 2008 <o:p></o:p></p>
