So excited to see Nukuoro history published in the Nukuoro language! An awesome resource for students on Pohnpei 🏝

@indexicalista @Jrosesla Amalia Skilton has done this a lot in her research! I think she’s used the Olympus VP10 for naturalistic recording, since it’s small enough to be clipped to clothing (or worn by the participant). I’m sure she’d be happy to chat methods.

@jilla_hamilton wait that is really funny!! just a layperson who loves sunflowers 🌻 enjoy the conference!

[Emily Drummond @_emilydrummond]

@whynotanissa For the record, ina shows up in non-extraction contexts in Nukuoro too, namely imperatives. It doesn't show up under negation though.

[Emily Drummond @_emilydrummond]

Happy to be part of a great sluicing session at #WCCFL39! If you work on a language with sluicing & an extraction restriction, I would very much like to talk to you

[Emily Drummond @_emilydrummond]

@whynotanissa ...but I don't remember why exactly. It'd be super interesting if the same sluicing facts hold in Samoan, and if ina can be considered "voice"
