Introduction C.1 Chinnima – English C.2 English – Chinnima index
C.3 Comparative wordlist of five dialects
,QWURGXFWLRQ
The first part of this vocabulary (Chinnima – English) contains over 1800 Chinnima entries and some Chimaraba ones; the same entries are used in the second part (English – Chinnima). The questionnaires used to collect these data are the following: the Questionnaire on Basic and Common Vocabulary in Bantu Languages, and the extensive Questionnaire on Cultural Vocabulary, both designed by the project group The Linguistic Atlas of Tanzania, University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The short word list of Frederick Johnson in his “Notes on Kimakonde” (1923) was checked, and finally, words were added as they came up during our field work.
In general, there are no separate entries for words derived with one of the productive processes of word derivation, like passive, causative and applicative verbs, and agent, manner and instrument nouns. But exceptions are made when such words are lexicalized, show formal or semantic irregularities, or are frequently used basic words. We have marked a number of words as Swahili loans, but we do not claim that we have identified all of them in our vocabulary. With verbs, no attempt is made to subclassify them on whatever basis.
The first part of this vocabulary is organized as follows. The Chinnima entry (without penultimate lengthening) is followed by the surface tones (including penultimate lengthening) and the underlying tones (including the tone group) in capitals, the grammatical category (N = noun, V = verb, P = pronominal form, A = adjective and I = invariable) in italics, the English gloss, and some remarks if needed. In the second part of the vocabulary the English gloss is followed by the Chinnima entry in italics, the surface and underlying tones in capitals, and the grammatical category.
NPx, and a H tone on the final mora of the stem). Generally, the tones are identical for the singular form and the plural form, with some exceptions which are indicated in the tone field. The sign of the grammatical category N is followed by the class number(s), explained in 4.1 - 4.3.
The verbs (V) are cited as stems with initial hyphen. The surface tones are the tones of the Infinitive (without marker). The underlying tones are not indicated since they depend on the tense of the verb, and are the same for all verbs. The Infinitive belongs to tone group A:S1/SF, which results in penultimate level H surface tones when the final syllable is simple (or penultimate R in case of reflexive verbs), and in penultimate L: (or F) when the final syllable is complex. The sign of the grammatical category may be followed by “refl.” (reflexive), “caus.” (causative), “refl/caus” (reflexive/causative), “pas.” (passive), “red.” (reduplication), “irr.” (irregular verb) and “fin.” (finite verb form).
The pronominal forms (P) take a pronominal prefix (PPx), and they are either given with PPx (like substitutives) or cited as a stem with initial hyphen (like possessive stems). When cited as a stem, the surface tones are indicated without PPx, except when the stem is minisyllabic or disyllabic vowel-initial. If possible, the surface tones are followed by the underlying tones. The sign of the grammatical category may be followed by “con.” (connexive), “dem.” (demonstrative), “nom.” (nominalized form), “pos.” (possessive) and “subst.” (substitutive). Stems that take a nominal prefix (NPx) in class 1 are indicated by “P/A”, the A referring to the grammatical category Adjective.
The adjectives (A) take a NPx; they are cited as stems with initial hyphen. The surface tones are indicated without NPx.
