This talk presents the results of the research for my M.A. thesis, A Grammatical Sketch of Western Sisaala. Western Sisaala is a previously undocumented and unwritten endangered language of 6,000 speakers in Ghana’s remote upper West Region. This research is based upon three months of linguistic fieldwork undertaken in Lambussie, Ghana, during the summer of 2003. This talk will describe this experience as well as outline the linguistic findings and analysis of my research. My main focus will be to describe Western Sisaala’s phonology and the establishment of an alphabetic writing system. I will also address the sociolinguistic situation as well as the language’s morphological system. |
