The Linguistics Circle Event featuring Dr. Kellen Parker Van Dam is set to be a significant conference hosted by the University of Malta, taking place in New Delhi, India. This event will focus on a groundbreaking investigation into the tone system of Wolam Ngio, a Khiamniungic language spoken by approximately
...
6,000 individuals at the India-Myanmar border. Dr. Van Dam, affiliated with the Department of Languages and Linguistics at the University of Passau in Germany, as well as the Humanities and Social Science School Operations at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, will lead the seminar.
The seminar, titled 'Investigating tone in an undocumented language at the Burmese border,' marks the first detailed exploration of the tone system of Wolam, filling a notable gap in the linguistic study of Khiamniungic languages. Dr. Van Dam's research will delve into the complexities of tonogenesis and the residual effects of grammatical tone within this language group. The discussion will include methodologies for documenting and describing tone systems, particularly in languages that have not been thoroughly studied. Participants will gain insights into eliciting linguistically useful data during fieldwork, normalizing acoustic pitch data through mathematical methods, and identifying phonemically significant tonemes to accurately determine the tonemic inventory of Wolam Ngio. Furthermore, the seminar will address orthographic conventions for community-facing language resources and introduce software tools that support the investigation of tone. This event promises to be an enriching opportunity for educators, linguists, and anyone interested in the complexities of language and its educational implications.
