Book Description
Excerpt from A Handbook of the Ateso Language The Ateso dialect is spoken by a tribe of some people living between Lake Kioga and Mt. Elgon in the Eastern Province of the Uganda Protectorate.' The Teso are a cheerful, industrious people, amenable to control and eminently teachable. Although now for some six. Years only in close contact with civilization, the tribe has. Made phenomenally rapid progress in the arts of peace; the culti vation of cotton and labour on the construction of metalled roads has provided even the poorest peasants with abundant cash, and European articles, from cigarettes to bicycles, are in eager demand. Yet the name of this tribe does not appear, so far as the writer is aware, in any of the works on the peoples of the Uganda Protectorate. The Teso appear to belong to the same Nilotic group as the Nandi, Turkana and Karamojo tribes, and the language has affinities with Masai. The dialect is given by Sir H. H. Johnston, in his work The Uganda Protectorate, as Elgumi, a name which the Rev. W. Crabtree suggests has been applied to the tribe by the Masai (engame the nose) owing to the frequent occurrence of the velar nasal fig. It is, however, doubtful if the sound in question is associated by natives with nasal utterance; it is more prob able that the word is the Masai I lkume, one of their names for the Turkana tribe, who speak a dialect nearly resembling Ateso.

Author: Viveka VelupillaiPublisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027273502
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 541
Book Description
This clear and accessible introduction to linguistic typology covers all linguistic domains from phonology and morphology over parts-of-speech, the NP and the VP, to simple and complex clauses, pragmatics and language change. There is also a discussion on methodological issues in typology. This textbook is the first introduction that consistently applies the findings of the World Atlas of Language Structures, systematically includes pidgin and creole languages and devotes a section to sign languages in each chapter. All chapters contain numerous illustrative examples and specific feature maps. Keywords and exercises help review the main topics of each chapter. Appendices provide macro data for all the languages cited in the book as well as a list of web sites of typological interest. An extensive glossary gives at-a-glance definitions of the terms used in the book. This introduction is designed for students of courses with a focus on language diversity and typology, as well as typologically-oriented courses in morphology and syntax. The book will also serve as a guide for field linguists.
