Why choose this project topic?
The focus on how speakers maintain and switch referents in Igbo storytelling provides a specific linguistic problem that can be investigated with a bounded dataset. Speaker-checked evidence and explicit analysis decisions make the proposal suitable for discussion with a language specialist.
What can consented adult narrative recordings with participant-checked translations establish about how speakers maintain and switch referents in Igbo storytelling?
Name the precise variety or participant setting, agree the sample and analysis tools, and verify the feasibility of studying how speakers maintain and switch referents in Igbo storytelling.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define an analytical account of how speakers maintain and switch referents in Igbo storytelling.
- 02Document relevant examples using consented adult narrative recordings with participant-checked translations.
- 03Track referent introductions, pronouns and full noun phrases across topic continuity and change.
A suggested research approach
Confirm access to consented adult narrative recordings with participant-checked translations and the competence needed for transcription or translation. Track referent introductions, pronouns and full noun phrases across topic continuity and change. Pilot the tasks, record uncertain judgments, and obtain required ethics approval and informed consent before involving speakers.
What you will need
- Authorised access to consented adult narrative recordings with participant-checked translations
- A transcription or coding protocol for how speakers maintain and switch referents in Igbo storytelling
- Appropriate language competence, secure storage and participant consent arrangements
Keep your project scope clear
Translation into English may obscure distinctions present in the original discourse.
