Sumario:"The translated and annotated ethnographic articles of Carl Hoffmann form the core of this book. They are preceded by an introduction and historical contextualisation. Following the Hoffmann corpus is a section in which orthographic developments are reflected upon and grammatical observations are made."--Summarised preview
Notas:Translation from German to English by Klaudia Ringelmann.
"The texts that were documented by Hoffmann and which are the focus of our research in this publication, were written in the Semamabolo (Mamabolo) dialect, which is close to the standardised form [of Northern Sotho]. To make these texts more accessible they have been rendered in the current official orthography in accordance with the Northern Sotho Terminology and Orthography rules No. 4 (Department of Education and Training 1988)."--Chapter 29
