Research Abstract

During this project, I wrote a descriptive grammar of Malto based on the transcribed and glossed corpus, and I am now preparing for its publication. I have finished grammar interview and transcription of the recordings, and I am writing a grammar based on them. I have finished a word list of 5000 Kurux words. I plan to continue working on the list and fill in Malto cognates.
