More on Names and Naming in Gorwaa
Description
I have spoken about names and naming in Gorwaa before, but much of the previous data consisted of Gorwaa people explaining how things worked in a general manner. New data, including interviews with Gorwaa parents about how their own children got their names, adds further detail to the existing account, as well as a perspective based on what Gorwaa people actually do, rather than what they say they do. Focusing on three questions – How are Gorwaa names given? Who are Gorwaa names given by?, and To what extent and in what ways are Gorwaa names and naming an endangered verbal art? – this talk provides additional detail, expands our understanding, and brings us closer to an informed account of this interesting and important aspect of the Gorwaa language.
