We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Hi,

I have been asked to direct a dissertation about linguistic differences
occurring to a text when it is turned from a literary form into comics.

Could anybody help me? I'd like to have information about references or
previous studies and researches about what happens when a text is
transformed to fit a new linguistic system.

thanks

Dear colleagues,

we are a group of researchers and graduate students at the University of
Barcelona working on a Niger-Congo underdescribed language called Mandinka.
What we intend to do is describe the language and produce educational
material for the Mandinka population in Senegal and Catalonia. So far we
have been doing fieldwork with a native speaker in Barcelona, but we are
interested in finding additional information, e.g. published grammars or
papers dealing with its phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, etc. Can
you help us? Or maybe there are other linguists doing the same work. We
would be more than glad to contact them.

Here is the bibliography that we have looked up:

1) Man Lafi Dramé (2003) Parlons mandinka, Paris: L'Harmattan.
2) L. Gràcia & J. M. Contreras (2003) El soninké i el mandinga, estudi
comparatiu entre les gramàtiques del soninké i el mandinga i la del català,

Girona, Departament de Benestar Social.
