Couverture souple. Condition: Neuf. #Broché :597 pages #Parution : avril 2019 #Résumé : La langue bambara s est formée sur la base des dialectes mandingues orientaux grâce à l existence du royaume précolonial de Ségou (XVIIIe - XIXe siècles), et dans une moindre mesure, du Kaarta. Le nom du groupe ethnique est bá mà na ou bá mà nan, et celui de la langue est bá manankan, on utilise le terme bambara en français et dans les langues voisines (peul, soninké, maninka ; évidemment, la forme française a été empruntée aux langues soninké ou peul). En anglais, allemand, russe, les deux formes sont utilisées : bamana et bambara. Le format de ce livre représente un compromis entre celui d un manuel pratique et celui d une grammaire de référence. Le cours est subdivisé en 38 leçons, toutes agrémentées de fichiers son téléchargeables. Vous pourrez écouter toutes les phrases en bambara prononcées par un locuteur natif. Valentin Vydrin est professeur de mandingue à l'Inalco. Il est aussi enseignant-chercheur au LLACAN (Langages, langues et cultures d'Afrique Noire) (CNRS, UMR-8135), et spécialiste des langues mandé.

Hardback. Condition: New. The Sunjata epic is a foundational oral narrative for Manding populations of West Africa and claims to describe the origins of the famed medieval empire of Mali. It is both a historical source and an artistic creation of West African oral specialists, the griots (jèliw). Despite its importance, the epic is known to Anglophone non-specialists only through a handful of accounts published after 1960. Corpus of Early Accounts of the Sunjata Epic, 1889-1959 presents twenty understudied versions of the epic, recorded during the colonial period, that are not easily accessible. Previously published in French and German colonial periodicals, here these sources are translated into English, each with a scholarly introduction, allowing the reader to appreciate each version's context and purpose.
