Forthcoming: Echoes of the past: Hewramî narratives

This book is a collection of 15 narratives in Hewramî. It offers a
unique window into the life of Hewramî speakers, including their
oral and social history, social relations, recollections of past
life, and storytelling traditions. The stories were told by five
narrators. All the stories have been transcribed, translated,
annotated, and analysed.

The volume contains an introduction that
provides an overview of the language and speech community. The texts
are presented in two formats: as parallel column texts
(Hewramî/English) and as interlinearised glossed texts, containing
detailed linguistic analysis. Many of the narratives contain
elements of hagiographies, focusing on moral lessons.

This book complements the Hewramî grammar.
