Description
Trilingual word list Mpiemo-French-English containing roughly 1,900 words and grammatical information like word class and noun class. The word list is an updated and extended version of the unpublished lists put together by Laurent Wanabetsina, Keith Beavon and Nkali Lazaro Mbaro (1986) and Lydia Lundström (197?). For the updates a number of native Mpiemo speakers, among others Abel Mabessimo and Zacharie Metekouli, have been consulted. They spoke the Mpiakoumbo and Kwabili dialects. The words i

The question is whether these nasals should be interpreted as phonemes of their own or as a prenasalisation of the following stop. The recordings in this dataset form the basis of (acoustic) phonetic studies of this question. The study also takes into account the morphological function of the nasal and the syll
