Nyokon word list audio recordings

This deposit contains the original recorded lists of words of the Nyokon language (ISO 639-3: nvo) gathered in the process of writing the following publication: 

Lovestrand, Joseph. 2011. Notes on Nyokon phonology (Bantu A.45, Cameroon). SIL Cameroon. silcam.org.

A PDF copy of the publication is included in the deposit [Notes on Nyokon phonology - Lovestrand (October 2011).pdf]

Rough phonetic transcriptions and annotations of the word lists are in SML format in the file: [Nyokon-dekereke.txt]

This file was designed in the freeware Dekereke program, available online at: casali.canil.ca

The audio recordings can be divided into four categories. 

1. 1700-item word list

Files named with a range of four-digit numbers, e.g. 0001-0005.wav, are the original audio files. The numbers refer to the "SIL comparatige African wordlist". Not all 1700 items were elicted and recorded. 

Roberts, James & Keith Snider. 2006. SIL comparative African wordlist (SILCAWL). SIL 
Electronic Working Papers 2006-005. 49. sil.org

2. Individual words for Dekereke 

Files name with a single four-digit number followed by an English gloss, e.g. 0001 body, are audio clips taken from the origial recordings so that the clips can be listened to in the Dekereke program. 
Not all words were clipped for this purpose. The recordings of many words are only availabel in the original recordigns.

3. Contrastive Pairs 

Files named ContrastivePairs followed by a number are files that were recorded later in the analysis to check on assumed and suspected phonemic contrast. Most of the words repeat those found elsewhere.
