If not, then which speakers of which speech varieties would have trouble understanding it? To what degree might these Dogon speakers benefit from literature in Bambara and Fulfulde? Or might further linguistic analysis and literacy work be needed in other Dogon speech varieties in order for all Dogon speakers to have access to a literature they could understand? This research included identifying the Dogon speech varieties, listing villages where each is spoken, mapping the geographical area of each speech variety, collecting wordlists, and asking questions following a standardized questionnaire. 9 1. Introduction 1.1 Purpose of the Survey The reason for doing this survey was a desire to know whether the goal of all Dogon speakers being able to understand written material in the T¡r¡-s¡¡ speech variety is practicable. The purpose of this survey was to provide data necessary for SIL administrators in Mali to decide whether or not there is a need for SIL to be further involved in various aspects of Dogon language development. The pivotal question for SIL in Mali is whether or not the average speaker of every identified Dogon speech variety can presently understand the T¡r¡-s¡¡ speech variety adequately (let alone express himself in it) since the Malian government has officially chosen it as the sole Dogon standard. Adequate comprehension could be possible from either inherent intelligibility (section 1.3 defines this term) or because of widespread high-level bilingualism. This report provides information that indicates that T¡r¡-s¡¡ is inherently intelligible to some degree with speakers of some Dogon varieties, but that with others it definitely is not. No attempt is made to assess the general level of bilingualism of speakers of varieties who find T¡r¡-s¡¡ unintelligible, nor to analyse the feasibility of a program to raise the general level of bilingualism, albeit that these are valid questions that could be the purpose of a subsequent survey. 1.2 Overview The Dogon region is far from homogeneous, not only in its physical appearance, but also in its population. Population density, way of living, and linguistic make-up all differ considerably from area to area. Much of the background research, and all of the fieldwork for this survey was conducted in 1998 by J. A. Durieux and E. I. K Durieux-Boon who were short-term members of SIL. At that time the author of this report was the Language Survey Coordinator for SIL in Mali, and as such was their supervisor. For practical reasons, we planned this survey to be executed in several stages (see section 8.3, “Data gathering”), but just as the end of stage one was coming into sight, the Durieux were obliged to leave Mali and were unable to take up the research again. SIL had noone to pick up the work and unfortunately finishing this report was greatly delayed. The first stage of this survey was to concentrate on mapping the Dogon area with the view of identifying the extent and the boundaries of distinctive speech communities (term defined in section 1.3). Much information was gleaned from existing literature on the Dogon people and linguistic situation. In addition, the Durieux made several trips throughout many of the Dogon-speaking areas of Mali interviewing village elders, taking wordlists, mapping village coordinates, and collecting population figures. The departure of the Durieux from Mali resulted in less than ideal circumstances for transferring data and documents to SIL and unfortunately the questionnaires done with village elders were lost. The Dogon area most lacking in data in this report, and which remains to be visited, is the vast but sparsely populated Jamsay-tegu speaking area in the east, including its extensions into Burkina Faso at several places. This report presents the findings of only the first stage of a survey that was cut short, but which nevertheless produced information useful for a better understanding of the complex Dogon language situation and the history of Dogon language research. 1.3 Definitions Important sociolinguistic terms used in this report shall be defined, especially where usage may vary among linguists of different schools and backgrounds.

  • Replacive Grammatical Tone in the Dogon Languages
    University of California Los Angeles Replacive grammatical tone in the Dogon languages A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics by Laura Elizabeth McPherson 2014 c Copyright by Laura Elizabeth McPherson 2014 Abstract of the Dissertation Replacive grammatical tone in the Dogon languages by Laura Elizabeth McPherson Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Russell Schuh, Co-chair Professor Bruce Hayes, Co-chair This dissertation focuses on replacive grammatical tone in the Dogon languages of Mali, where a word’s lexical tone is replaced with a tonal overlay in specific morphosyntactic contexts. Unlike more typologically common systems of replacive tone, where overlays are triggered by morphemes or morphological features and are confined to a single word, Dogon overlays in the DP may span multiple words and are triggered by other words in the phrase. DP elements are divided into two categories: controllers (those elements that trigger tonal overlays) and non-controllers (those elements that impose no tonal demands on surrounding words). I show that controller status and the phonological content of the associated tonal overlay is dependent on syntactic category. Further, I show that a controller can only impose its overlay on words that it c-commands, or itself. I argue that the sensitivity to specific details of syntactic category and structure indicate that Dogon replacive tone is not synchronically a phonological system, though its origins almost certainly lie in regular phrasal phonology. Drawing on inspiration from Construction Morphology, I develop a morphological framework in which morphology is defined as the id- iosyncratic mapping of phonological, syntactic, and semantic information, explicitly learned by speakers in the form of a construction.

Depuis un certain temps, le Gouvernement a opté de faire du Mali une puissance agricole et faire de l’agriculture le moteur de la croissance économique. La réalisation de cette ambition passe par la combinaison de plusieurs facteurs dont la production et l’utilisation des semences certifiées. On note que la semence contribue à hauteur de 30-40% dans l’augmentation de la production agricole. En effet, les semences G4, R1 et R2 sont produites aussi bien par les structures techniques de l’Etat (Service Semencier National et l’IER) que par les sociétés et Coopératives semencières (FASO KABA, Cigogne, Comptoir 2000, etc.) ainsi que par les producteurs individuels à travers le pays.

Ce Bien Mixte du Pays dogon a été inscrit au double titre des critères V et VII relatif à l’inscription des biens: V pour la valeur culturelle et VII pour la valeur naturelle. La gestion du site est assurée par une structure déconcentrée de proximité créée en 1993, relevant de la Direction Nationale du Patrimoine Culturel (DNPC) du Département de la Culture. 1. Résumé analytique du rapport Le site « Falaises de Bandiagara » (Pays dogon) est soumis à une rude épreuve occasionnée par la crise sociopolitique et sécuritaire du Mali enclenchée depuis 2012. Cette crise a pris une ampleur particulière dans la Région de Mopti et sur ledit site marqué par des tensions et des conflits armés intercommunautaires entre les Dogons et les Peuls. Un des faits marquants de la crise au Pays dogon est l’attaque du village d’Ogossagou le 23 mars 2019, un village situé à environ 15 km de Bankass, qui a causé la mort de plus de 150 personnes et endommagé, voire détruit des biens mobiliers et immobiliers.

  • 5 Phonology Florian Lionnet and Larry M
    5 Phonology Florian Lionnet and Larry M. Hyman 5.1. Introduction The historical relation between African and general phonology has been a mutu- ally beneficial one: the languages of the African continent provide some of the most interesting and, at times, unusual phonological phenomena, which have con- tributed to the development of phonology in quite central ways. This has been made possible by the careful descriptive work that has been done on African lan- guages, by linguists and non-linguists, and by Africanists and non-Africanists who have peeked in from time to time. Except for the click consonants of the Khoisan languages (which spill over onto some neighboring Bantu languages that have “borrowed” them), the phonological phenomena found in African languages are usually duplicated elsewhere on the globe, though not always in as concen- trated a fashion. The vast majority of African languages are tonal, and many also have vowel harmony (especially vowel height harmony and advanced tongue root [ATR] harmony). Not surprisingly, then, African languages have figured dispro- portionately in theoretical treatments of these two phenomena. On the other hand, if there is a phonological property where African languages are underrepresented, it would have to be stress systems – which rarely, if ever, achieve the complexity found in other (mostly non-tonal) languages. However, it should be noted that the languages of Africa have contributed significantly to virtually every other aspect of general phonology, and that the various developments of phonological theory have in turn often greatly contributed to a better understanding of the phonologies of African languages. Given the considerable diversity of the properties found in different parts of the continent, as well as in different genetic groups or areas, it will not be possible to provide a complete account of the phonological phenomena typically found in African languages, overviews of which are available in such works as Creissels (1994) and Clements (2000).

  • MALI LIVESTOCK for GROWTH (L4G) AECOM International Development
    MALI LIVESTOCK FOR GROWTH (L4G) AECOM International Development Monthly Report No. 16 20 February 2016 COMPONENT 1. LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION 1.1 ENHANCED TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION, DISSEMINATION, AND MANAGEMENT Throughout the month of January and February, L4G Nutrition Specialist sensitized eight schools in Koro and Bankass on using Moringa as a dual-fodder crop (nutritional and commercial) in school gardens. During the school site visits, L4G conducted a needs assessment of children, parents and teachers regarding skills for transplanting Moringa seedlings and tending to the young trees. Based on the needs assessment, L4G distributed 1,002 Moringa plants to eight primary schools to promote human nutrition and a business for tree nursery technicians. January 16: L4G provided 16kg of Dolique seed to the Cereal Value Chain (CVC) Program to enable CVC to test for forage production at three sites: Konna (near Sévaré), Mopti and Djenne. The provision of Dolique seeds to CVC is congruent with L4G’s partner strategy to reinforce millet and sorghum straw with legume crops for improved livestock nutrition. L4G will continue to collaborate with CVC on their forage production results. In December 2015, L4G disturbed 12 bags of 50kg NPK fertilizer to POs in Toroli, Don, Koumbogourou, Bondo. From January 28 - February 4, L4G monitored the POs’ use of the fertilizer and distributed small grants to be used for construction of protective rustic fencing for Dolique production ($40 per site at six sites). The fencing subsidy is needed to ensure that sufficient Dolique demonstration plots are developed to educate producers on the merits of irrigated Dolique production. During January and February, L4G and village animators (VAs) conducted multiplier trainings to 568 L4G producers (including 393 women) in Koro and Bankass Cercles on: animal fattening techniques, group savings and lending, basic calculations for value-added livestock marketing, transparent and democratic management of POs, and PO business activity planning.
