Documentation of Blablanga
Blablanga is an endangered Oceanic language with 1150 speakers (2009) on Santa Isabel Island, Solomon Islands. The collection consists of an annotated corpus of digital audio and video materials, covering language use in a variety of social and cultural contexts. Descriptions of main structures have already been made available. A practical orthography has been proposed and, in collaboration with the community, a range of literacy and language maintenance materials are being developed. A full grammar, a Blablanga-English-Pijin (the Solomons variety of Melanesian Pidgin) dictionary and a more specialized publication on intonation and information structure in the language are in preparation.
