Description

Week 8 of the Himalayan Languages course, containing the following materials: [01]: Elicitation of rhymes and other language games played in Ura Valley, Bumthang District. The consultant steps the class through the metrical schemes for some rhymes. [02]: Elicitation of riddles. [03]: Elicitation of word-classes in different distributions (e.g. nouns in referential, predicative, and attributive constructions). Atttempts to translate constructions across classes (e.g. to reframe “the cat is purring” as “the purring one”). In such cases the consultant creates relativised clauses. [04]: Elicitation of stative constructions: usage of verbs with stative / active alternations (e.g. ‘dek’ “fear / scare”). Indications that the exploration of stativity is relevant to the exploration of word-classes. [05]: Revision of words in an in-development lexicon which have been flagged. [06]: Elicitation of ideophones: presented with groups of ideophones, the consultant is asked to think of further words for each group. [07]: [dzo]
