A Kam Lexicon

Creators

Description

This dataset contains a lexicon of Kam [ISO 639-3: kdx; Glottocode: kamm1249], a hitherto difficult to classify Niger-Congo language spoken in Central-Eastern Nigeria (see Lesage 2018a,b, 2019a,b,c, in preparation for more on the language). It is mainly meant as a source to cite for RefLex (Segerer & Flavier 2011-2018), where the word list is also available. Only word forms, glosses, and word class information are available for now. There is no introduction so far. I intend to publish a more comprehensive lexicon or dictionary of Kam, with introduction about the phonology and grammar, in the future. Note that, contrary to general Africanist tradition, <j> represents a palatal approximant, <dʒ> representing voiced palatoalveolar affricates, and <tʃ> represents voiceless palatoalveolar affricates instead of <c>.
