The
third podcast in the series shifts gears and introduces
two LDC researchers, Yiwola Awoyale and Moussa Bamba, whose
work focuses on West African languages.
Yiwola
has been teaching linguistics, Yoruba language studies and
various aspects of African linguistics since 1975. At LDC, he
developed the Global Yoruba Lexical Database, a set of related dictionaries based on Yoruba and
its diaspora. Moussa’s work in the Manding languages of the
Niger-Congo family has resulted in the release of the Mawukakan Lexicon, to be followed by similar resources for
Maninkakan, Bambara, and Jula.
In
their podcast, Yiwola and Moussa discuss how they came to LDC,
their current research and how it benefits multiple
communities.
