The First Sherbro Primer: A Graphic Introduction to the Sherbro Language of Sierra Leone Childs, George Tucker; Bendu, Abdulai In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2018) Abstract: The Sherbro wring system uses a number of non‐English symbols that are explained in Appendix A at the end of the book. They are the standard symbols used in wring all other Sierra Leone languages (including Krio). The first obvious difference from English is that the symbols used to represent Sherbro vowels have quite different pronunciations from the leers used to represent vowel sounds in English. Other differences are relatively minor. The book is organized as follows. After these prefatory remarks appears the text itself, which is divided into three sections and a set of appendices. The first section, “The Sherbro alphabet” introduces the different consonant symbols used to write Sherbro. Each leer is introduced with a number of examples containing the leer. Vowels do not have their individual pages but are exemplified throughout the section. The palatal nasal [ɲ] is represented by the digraph and has no page of its own, forming part of the “N n” page. The labialvelar, occurring in such words as gbaka ‘laughter’ and gbal ‘write’, does not have its own page. The next section, “Sherbro vocabulary”, introduces some Sherbro words organized into different categories. The categories are the family (ramdɛ), food (yenjoo or njoɛ), things or implements (yek / nyek), numbers or counting (tɔm), me (bonk), locaons (ko), clothes (kotha thɛ), body parts (jal or njallɛ), animals (vis or nvisɛ), the home (chɛli), the kitchen (boo or booɛ), on the sea (hɛlɛkoɛ), weather (hɔɛ), and states (thekni). The third section contains a number of greetings and a selection of proverbs. In the last section, Appendices, you will find an explanation of the symbols used in this book (Appendix A) and a glossary of all the words used in this book (Appendix B) Keyword: African Languages and Societies; Applied Linguistics; Sherbro (African people) -- Social life and customs; Sherbro language -- Primers URL: https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1153&context=sherbro https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/sherbro/153 BASE Hide details 3 Tissana Election (Part 11) Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 4 Marie L Sesay interview Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 5 Seaport Interview Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 6 Plantain Island Fishing Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 7 Mokain Reinstatement (Part 1) Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 8 Abu Bakar Bendu Voiceover Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 9 Wong Island Discussion Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 10 Palm Nut Processing Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 11 Tom Caulker Sherbro History Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 12 Mokain Reinstatement (Part 5) Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 13 Hunter Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 14 Hoeing Field Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 15 Tissana Election (Part 13) Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 16 Kagboro Anthem Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 17 Court Case Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 18 Fish Smoking at Seaport Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 19 Maps for Sherbro Area Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details 20 Bondo ceremony 2 Childs, George Tucker In: The Sherbro Language and Culture of Sierra Leone (2017) BASE Show details Page: 1 2 3 4 5...28
