Abstract:

This collection of fourteen texts in Komnzo offers an insight into the
language and culture of the Farem people, their storytelling
tradition, oral history, mythology and everyday life. It contains
stories from nine narrators, which were transcribed, translated and
analysed by the researcher with the help of the Komnzo language
committee. All texts are presented in a parallel text version arranged
in columns (Komnzo/English) and in an interlinearised and glossed
version. The book focuses thematically on landscape, place names and
locality. It includes a description and analysis of the way Komnzo
speakers conceptualise this semantic domain.
