Slides for ‘How To Do Things With Ideophones’
by Mark Dingemanse
Slides for a talk titled How To Do Things With Ideophones, presented at SOAS, June 3, 2009. Without the actual talk most of the slides will be either underspecified or dense, but since people have asked for them, here they are. I also have a handout (PDF) containing the conversational extracts referred to in the presentation. Comments most welcome!
(I've embedded this presentation using Slideshare.net. If you'd rather have a copy of the slides, let me know.)
