Continuing with the tradition I started last summer, I post my summer reading for 2023. These books cover roughly the time period between June 1, 2023, and August 31, 2023. If anybody wants to discuss these books with me, let me know.

Tshila 2023 Fieldwork by the Numbers
From August 24, 2023 to September 4, 2023, we (Andre and I) did fieldwork on Tshila, an endangered central Khoisan language spoken in southeastern Botswana. We did the fieldwork in Kaudwane, which is on the edge of the Khutse game reserve. The goals of the fieldwork were to collect at least 500 vocabulary items, at least one full pronoun chart (30 pronouns) and some basic grammatical information. We accomplished these goals. For context, we want (a) to set Andre up for future fieldwork on Tshila, and (b) to start the community thinking about developing an orthography.
