Workshop on Studying Tone Languages in New Guinea: elicitation, analysis, and archiving The goal of this workshop is to advance the study of New Guinea tone languages, by applying practical wisdom gained from investigating tone languages in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Participants will learn how to describe and analyse a tone language through practical experience, working with native speakers from West Papua (Indonesia) and from Papua New Guinea. The main languages being studied are Alekano [gah], Iha [ihp], Kirikiri [kiy], and Ekagi [ekg].
