Abstract:

Originally published in Japanese in 1976 as Karafuto Ainugo – Shiryō (The Ainu
language of Karafuto – Materials), the corpus of folktales and conversations
that constitutes this volume is to date one of the few resources on the
extinct Sakhalin (Karafuto) variety of Ainu (isolate). Together with the
corpus of texts, the sketch grammar Karafuto Ainugo – Bunpō (The Ainu language
of Karafuto – Grammar), that appeared in 1979, illustrates the language of
Haru Fujiyama and Yuk Ōta, who were two of the last native speakers of
Sakhalin Ainu born on the Sakhalin west coast. This publication presents a
re-edition of both Karafuto Ainugo volumes for the first time in English. All
folktales and conversations have been re-transliterated on the basis of the
original audios and the texts come with interlinear linguistic glosses,
notations, and English translation. The section of the book dedicated to
grammatical notes has been fully restructured, with respect to the 1979
original, to discuss the phonology, morphosyntax, and semantics of West
Sakhalin Ainu, with a specific focus on nominal and verbal morphosyntax. The
book will be of interest to specialists in the Ainu language as well as to
readers interested in endangered languages, folklore, morphosyntax, and
language typology.
