Host:
Descriptive or expressive adverbs in the Gbeya language of the Central African Republic are subjected to a study for variation. Predictably, it is found that there is more variation between speakers from different villages of the same dialect than there is between speakers from the same village—with some surprising differences. One explanation is that Gbeya enjoy playing with ideophones.
