In this book, though, the Caret (^) and the Diaeresis or Umlaut ( ̈) placed over any letter should be taken as substitutes for a Tilde (~). They have been used here for lack of the right Tilde over the respective letter.

Yoruba Proverbs by Oyekan Owomoyela Pdf

"Yoruba Proverbs is the most comprehensive collection to date of more than five thousand Yoruban proverbs that showcase Yoruba oral tradition. Following Oyekan Owomoyela's introduction, which provides a framework and description of Yoruba cultural beliefs, the proverbs are arranged by theme into five sections: the good person; the fortunate person (or the good life); relationships; human nature; rights and responsibilities; and truisms. Each proverb is presented in Yoruba with a literal English translation, followed by a brief commentary explaining the meaning of the proverb within the oral tradition." "This definitive source book on Yoruba proverbs is the first to give such detailed, systematic classification and analysis alongside a careful assessment of the risks and pitfalls of submitting this genre to the canons of literary analysis."--BOOK JACKET.

Yoruba Transcript: Dictionary by Deji Olaiya Pdf

What is Yoruba Transcript? Simply put, the digital way to write in Yoruba, that is, without accents.In the 18th century, Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther's quest to translate the Holy Bible into Yoruba led to the creation of an orthography for Yoruba language. This thereafter resulted in the publication of the first Yoruba dictionary. Bishop Crowther found out during his compilation that some Yoruba phonetics were not represented by Latin alphabets, so he introduced tonal accents, which didn't make the language reader friendly. Transcript replaces accents with conventional alphabets to make Yoruba language conform to international standards. This has made Yoruba more reader friendly, more writer friendly and this has now given rise to Yoruba language 'renaissance'.A Sample Yoruba Proverb Adaba ough naanint ivell, Papar injonon, Eyyel okoul folaut. Also Included in the book is 15,000 words Dictionary of Yoruba Language and hundreds of Yoruba proverbs and niches.

Arts of Being Yoruba by Adélékè Adéèkó Pdf

There is a culturally significant way of being Yorùbá that is expressed through dress, greetings, and celebrations—no matter where in the world they take place. Adélékè Adék documents Yorùbá patterns of behavior and articulates a philosophy of how to be Yorùbá in this innovative study. As he focuses on historical writings, Ifá divination practices, the use of proverbs in contemporary speech, photography, gendered ideas of dressing well, and the formalities of ceremony and speech at celebratory occasions, Adéékó contends that being Yorùbá is indeed an art and Yorùbá-ness is a dynamic phenomenon that responds to cultural shifts as Yorùbá people inhabit an increasingly globalized world.

Oral Literature in Africa by Ruth Finnegan Pdf

Ruth Finnegan's Oral Literature in Africa was first published in 1970, and since then has been widely praised as one of the most important books in its field. Based on years of fieldwork, the study traces the history of storytelling across the continent of Africa. This revised edition makes Finnegan's ground-breaking research available to the next generation of scholars. It includes a new introduction, additional images and an updated bibliography, as well as its original chapters on poetry, prose, "drum language" and drama, and an overview of the social, linguistic and historical background of oral literature in Africa. This book is the first volume in the World Oral Literature Series, an ongoing collaboration between OBP and World Oral Literature Project. A free online archive of recordings and photographs that Finnegan made during her fieldwork in the late 1960s is hosted by the World Oral Literature Project (http: //www.oralliterature.org/collections/rfinnegan001.html) and can also be accessed from publisher's website.
