Notes and Research Materials

Scope and Contents

The files are divided into four subseries: those dealing with linguistic principles, those concerning African history, those relating to African languages in general, and those pertaining to specific African languages. Papers written by Welmers' students and colleagues, drills for teaching foreign languages, a bibliography of works on historical and comparative linguistics and some notes from two of Welmers' seminars are contained in the subseries dealing with linguistic principles. The subseries concerning African history includes a paper by Welmers and photocopies of published articles and papers by others. An index and papers written by students and colleagues comprise the subseries pertaining to African languages in general. The files which relate to specific African languages consist of "organized" and "raw" data, dissertations by students, drills for teaching specific African languages, correspondence to Welmers from colleagues and business associates, holograph notes by Welmers, maps, newsletters, printed "fill-in" forms, papers by students and colleagues, word lists, photocopies of others' published articles, a teacher's manual, and a bibliography of Liberian languages. Tape recordings of Kpelle drills produced by Welmers as well as a card file of English-Vai word translations are included in the subseries.
The subseries relating to linguistic principles, African history, and African languages in general are arranged alphabetically by subject and thereunder chronologically. Since there is no consensus among linguists on how to classify African languages, specific languages, language groups, and dialects are arranged alphabetically by name and then chronologically.
The series covers the years from 1948 to 1980, with the bulk of the material falling in the decades of the 1960s and 70s. Some gaps do exist.
