Download or read book Runyankore Rukiga English Picture Dictionary written by Dr. Mollynn Mugisha-Otim and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-04-14 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Runyankore is a Bantu language spoken by people in South West Uganda. Rukiga language is a similar and partially mutually intelligible with the Runyankore language. It is spoken by the people in Kigezi region. Some people argue that because the two languages are so similar, they consider them dialects of the same language, hence the term Runyankore-Rukiga. Whilst a very old language, the written literature is still not common place. There are very few (illustrated) children’s books for young ones to learn the language. That is why I have created this simple picture dictionary. The book aims to help one pick up vocabulary and has some simple sentences that can be used in commonly encountered scenarios in daily living. This can help one to make comfortable introductions and simple conversations. Children learn in a playful manner. Included are some beautiful childhood songs, rhymes and games. I hope this book will stimulate parents to introduce the language to their children early in life when learning languages is easiest.

Download or read book Tonal Change and Neutralization written by Haruo Kubozono and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No book has ever been published on tonal change and neutralization, two closely related topics in tonal phonology. This will be the first book to be devoted to both. The articles collected in this volume analyze a wide range of data concerning tonal change and neutralization, including post-lexical neutralization which represents a new topic in prosodic research. The volume as a whole covers a wide range of tone and pitch-accent languages in Asia, Africa and Europe, with a main focus on Asian languages/dialects many of which are endangered now. In addition to presenting novel data and analyses about individual languages, it provides typological perspectives on tonal change and neutralization. This volume will serve as an indispensable source of data and analyses for a wide range of linguists interested in phonetics, phonology, prosody, historical linguistics, language typology, endangered languages, Japanese linguistics, and Chinese linguistics.

Download or read book Charismatic Healers in Contemporary Africa written by Sandra Fancello and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on ethnographic studies conducted in several African countries, this volume analyses the phenomenon of deliverance – which is promoted both in charismatic churches and in Islam as a weapon against witchcraft – in order to clarify the political dimensions of spiritual warfare in contemporary African societies. Deliverance from evil is part and parcel of the contemporary discourse on the struggle against witchcraft in most African contexts. However, contributors show how its importance extends beyond this, highlighting a pluralism of approaches to deliverance in geographically distant religious movements, which coexist in Africa. Against this background, the book reflects on the responsibilities of Pentecostal deliverance politics within the condition of 'epistemic anxiety' of contemporary African societies – to shed light on complex relational dimensions in which individual deliverance is part of a wider social and spiritual struggle. Spanning across the study of religion, healing and politics, this book contributes to ongoing debates about witchcraft and deliverance in Africa.
Download or read book Performing Arts and Gender in Postcolonial Western Uganda written by Linda Cimardi and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2023 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on runyege, the main traditional performance genre of the Banyoro and Batooro people, this book explores the entanglement of traditional music, dance, and theater with gender and postcolonialism in Western Uganda. Drawing on archival research and extensive fieldwork in the regions of Bunyoro and Tooro, Linda Cimardi examines the connection between traditional performing arts and gender in western Uganda. The book focuses on runyege, the main genre of the Banyoro and Batooro people, exploring its different components of singing, instrument playing, dancing, and acting and identifying their complex relationships to gender models and expressions. Today mainly performed at Ugandan school festivals and by semiprofessional ensembles, repertoires like runyege adhere to stage conventions that have developed over several decades. Some of these conventions are powerful devices allowing the actors involved (performers, teachers, students, adjudicators, and audiences) to collectively shape an image of local culture grounded in a gender binary that is perceived as traditional. At the same time, stage conventions are exploited by some performers to negotiate their gender identities and expressions in unconventional ways, thus challenging hegemonic gender models. Moving between analysis of historical recordings, oral accounts, and present-day fieldwork data and experiences, the book engages in a comprehensive analysis of the postcolonial entanglement of arts and gender.

Download or read book Ugandan English written by Christiane Meierkord and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ugandan English is a variety that has scarcely been noticed in past research. This timely volume brings together African and European scholars in a first-ever collection of articles that offer comprehensive discussions of the historical and present-day sociolinguistics of English in Uganda and fine-grained analyses of the structural characteristics of and attitudes to this hitherto largely unknown variety. Using rich archive, corpus, and interview data as well as ethnographic and observational methods, the various contributions paint a comprehensive picture of Ugandan English as distinct from other East African Englishes and as characterized by nativisation despite a still strong exonormative orientation, reflecting the modern nation’s status as a post-protectorate under the influence of globalisation. Apart from advancing our understanding of Ugandan English itself, the individual chapters contribute to theoretical debates on language contact and variation as regards the influence of substrate languages, founder populations, language ideologies and socio-economic factors.
