The Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) is pleased to announce the
availability of two new publications.


1.  The Grassfields Bantu Fieldwork: Dschang Lexicon contains a lexicon
of the language Yémba (Bamileke Dschang), a Bamileke (Grassfields Bantu)
language spoken in Southwestern Cameroon.  The publication consists of
one CD-ROM.

The data is organized into two sets of pages in HTML format.  In the
first set, one page lists every word in the lexicon that begins with a
given letter (or letter combination). In the second set, one page lists
approximately 25 entries, unless there are fewer than 25 entries
beginning with a given letter. The second set is more convenient for use
on slower machines.

Each entry under a headword has links to 2 or more soundfiles. Two
speakers were recorded; a given entry generally contains links to
utterances of the headword by both speakers, as well as a laryngograph
recording of the headword by the second speaker. Nouns may also have
links to pronunciations of the plurals, and verbs may have links to
pronunciations of the imperative and infinitive forms. These ancillary
forms will in general also have laryngograph recordings.

Institutions that have membership in the LDC during the 2003
Membership Year will be able to receive this corpus free of charge.

NOTE:

The cost of the first 100 copies of this publication (not counting the
copies distributed to LDC members) is covered by NSF Grant Number
9983258, and therefore free of charge to qualified researchers; a $30
shipping and handling fee applies. After these first 100 copies are
distributed, additional copies will be available for the production cost
of $150 per CD-ROM.


2. The Grassfields Bantu Fieldwork: Dschang Tone Paradigms contains tone
paradigms of the language Yémba (Bamileke Dschang), a Bamileke
(Grassfields Bantu) language spoken in Southwestern Cameroon.  The
publication is available on a single CD-ROM.

The data consists of 45 paradigm pages in html format. Each page lists
32 utterances, varying across subject, verb, and object. Each utterance
has 1 to 3 links to recordings in .wav format, as well as a laryngograph
recording (also in .wav format). Phonetic transcription has been
completed for every utterance; tonological transcription has been
completed for a little more than half.
