Abstract:

These Kabba folk stories have been recorded in the Central African Republic
in 1998. They were told by gifted Kabba storytellers to a mixed audience of
adults and children. Jean-Pierre Dingatoloum transcribed them. A number of
different Kabba speakers, translated them into French. Rosmarie Moser
translated them into English and Knut Olawsky into German. 

Traditional folktales play an important educational role in African
societies. They express cultural values through metaphorical narratives and
the personification of animals and mythical creatures. They contain covert
meanings and messages and they are both amusing and thought-provoking.

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $60,000. This money will go to help

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to:
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non 
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be 
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers 
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
