Grammars and manuscripts
This page contains (or will contain) pdf's of unpublished reference grammars and manuscripts on topics of interest for Dogon languages and Bangi Me. These works are generally unfinished, and in some cases far from being finished, but we intend to make such interim materials available expeditiously. As manuscripts are published, they will be withdrawn from this site. Please use caution in citing any data or analyses. For manuscripts of Dogon dictionaries, see the Dictionaries page. For Dogon texts, see the Texts page. And for a comprehensive Dogon bibliography, see the Bibliography page. For Bangi-me resources, see the Bangime page.
Professor Jeffrey Heath, University of Michigan
These are near-complete drafts, but need editing, consecutive numbering of examples, index, and in some cases a sample text. Next version will reflect some editing; definitive versions by Sept 2009 after summer 2009 fieldwork.
