Download or read book Kuria English Dictionary written by Sammy M. Muniko and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Kuria-speaking people number about one million, with a homeland stretching from Kuria District in southwest Kenya through to North and South Mara in northern Tanzania. This is the first published dictionary of their language. It has been compiled especially with a view to its practical use, employing the standard Swahili orthography and avoiding complex grammatical notation. At the same time it is concerned to show the great richness of Kuria as a language which uses the full range of the common Bantu structural forms of verb and noun to express subtleties of meaning. It is intended partly as a record of the language and in this respect will be of use to comparative linguists. (A computerised version is available on disk.) It will be essential to anyone wishing to learn the Kuria language, including non-Kuria working in the area of Kenya and Tanzania where Kuria is spoken, but it should also be of interest to Kuria themselves, not least to Kuria school pupils looking for direct access to English through their own language. Sammy M. Muniko was born in Buirege, Kuria District, in 1946, trained as a teacher, and after some years as an Education Officer became Headmaster of St. Joseph Ntimaru Secondary School, a position he still holds. He has written school reading texts and advised nationally on the use of languages in schools. Benedict Muita oMagige was a teacher who made an extensive collection of Kuria proverbs, and owed much of his interest in Kuria traditional culture to his father, Joseph Magige oTatwa, of Renchoka, a former prominent chief. Ben died shortly after this dictionary was completed. Malcolm J. Ruel is an Oxford trained social anthropologist who compiled the original wordlist from which this dictionary has developed. He has written widely on Kuria culture and a collection of his essays on Kuria religion and related topics is shortly to be published by E. J. Brill. "

Download or read book Igikuria Phonology and Morphology written by Jelle Cammenga and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kuria ist eine östliche Bantu-Sprache und gehört demnach zum Niger-Kongo-Zweig (Guthries Klassifikation E.40). Die Sprecherzahl wird in Kenia und Tansania zusammen auf mehr als 400.000 geschätzt. Die Daten für die vorliegende Studie wurden fast ausschließlich in Kenia, im wesentlichen von Februar bis Oktober 1986 und von Februar bis Mai 1987 gesammelt. Aufgrund der wenigen existierenden Informationen zur Kuria-Dialektologie, wurde das Hauptaugenmerk der Studie auf die Erstellung einer klaren und umfassenden Darstellung des phonologischen und morphologischen Systems gelegt. Dabei wird herausgestellt, daß das Kuria scheinbar weitaus intensiver vom tansanischen als kenianischen Swahili beeinflußt wurde; in Kenia steigt der Einfluss des Swahili und Englischen gleichermaßen. Die geringe Menge an verfügbarer Literatur und der Forschungsstand waren Gründe für die Veröffentlichung dieser Studie. Auch die Tatsache, daß sich das Kuria seit den 1970er Jahren schneller denn je zu verändern scheint, machten die Studie notwendig. Das Werk besteht aus einem Hauptteil zur Kuria-Phonologie und Morphologie und drei Anhängen. Der erste stellt eine aktualisierte, kommentierte Bibliographie der Publikationen zu Kuria-Sprache und Völkern dar. Der zweite beinhaltet eine kurze Liste der Kuria-Literatur, der dritte enthält linguistisch relevante Informationen zum Hauptinformanten. Das Ziel des Buches ist, wesentlich dazu beizutragen, die beträchtliche deskriptive Lücke innerhalb der Subgruppe der östlichen Bantusprachen zu schließen, die Beschreibung des Kuria zu verbessern und eine zuverlässigere Basis für zukünftige Forschungen zu liefern.
