From July 6 to August 18, Chrisnah Renaudot Mfouhou will be conducting linguistic fieldwork on Ndunga, an enclaved Mbaic (Ubangi) variety spoken in several villages around Lisala in the Mongala province of the DRC. In this first fieldwork mission, Chrisnah will focus on phonetics, phonology as well as features and behavior of the noun phrase. Genetic data on Ndunga speakers will also be collected.
