Dalgish, Gerard M.

CALICO Journal, v4 n1 p27-38 Sep 1986

Discusses some assumptions regarding computer-assisted language learning (CALL) in generative-based African languages, with references to Bantu languages and the OluTsooto dialect of Luyai, a language of Kenya. Elements of a computer program that produces superficial forms from underlying forms of that language are described. (Author/CB)
