"This is the website for an NSF-funded fieldwork project on Dogon languages of Mali, also including the Bangime language (a language isolate spoken by a culturally Dogon group). We have operated from bases in Douentza and Sevare (near Mopti) in Mali, and (as of May 2012) in Bobo Dioulasso in neighboring Burkina Faso. We are producing grammar-text-lexicon coverage of the individual languages, supplemented by geographical, ethnobiological, and video sub-projects. Our early focus was on the more northerly Dogon languages and we are gradually moving south."

"Since most of our conscious modes of conceptualizing, acting and moving about are conditioned in part by our language, to use the language of another culture is to use that culture's ideas; and to use another culture's ideas in place of one's own is to relegate the latter to a position of de facto inferiority."
