h
Attribute Value
Methodology
  • Recorded with a Tascam digital recorder in Dia village in 2024 by project manager Minkailou Djiguiba.
Description
  • Recordings in Tigemaxo from 2022 in Dia village have been transcribed and the audio files are in a separate work ( https://doi.org/10.7302/hagd-xe26). The present work is a much larger set of audio recordings, also in Tigemaxo and from Dia village, but recorded in 2024. It includes ethnohistory and tales.

  • The ethnohistorical texts are with one main speaker (Mama Sienta), interviewed by Oumar Dienta, both male. The tales are told by a range of male and female speakers, with light backchannel accompaniment by the audience. Each tale in Tigemaxo is accompanied by a repetition or summary in French by Oumar Dienta in a separate file. The author has no plans to transcribe the 2024 recordings and is depositing this audio library for future use by native speakers and/or by linguists. The same is true of the 2019 Tigemaxo/Tiéyaxo recordings ( https://dx.doi.org/10.7302/6632), and the 2021 Tiéyaxo recordings ( https://doi.org/10.7302/2e0d-xk52), which are in two other works in this collection.

  • A short catalog of the files in this work, without transcription or translation, appears in J. Heath, "Tigemaxo (Bozo) texts of 2022 in Dia village (Mali)" in Zenodo, of which a backup copy is in Deep Blue Documents (see below).
