Linguistic & Cultural Pearls

Here, you will find Linguistic and Cultural Pearls…
Bèl pèl m rekòlte pou nou…

Weekly posting of commentaries on linguistic and cultural ‘pearls’ collected from different sources: the streets, the schools, the bodegas, the Haitian radios broadcasting on the internet, etc. The focus being on the ‘instrumentalization’ of the language.

Gen tande. Gen koute. Ou ka tande san ou pa ap koute. Men si n vle pran bon son, fò nou mete zòrèy nou an twonpèt pou nou koute byen. Se on aktivite m eseye fè souvan. Kòm rezilta, sa pèmèt mwen rekòlte kèk bèl ti pèl, bèl ti bijou pawoli pou m pataje avèk nou.

Dèyè Pawòl, Gen Pawòl

“Dèyè Pawòl Gen Pawòl” conjures up the idea expressed by the proverb “Dèyè mòn, gen mòn”. In short, it will be a weekly investigation into our logomachy, the words we use–words of the day, words from the past, words in synchrony, words in diachrony, all words that purport to convey some meaning about us…

Si ou renmen koze sa a, gaye li tribòbabò.

Atik sa a, se Roro ki te ekri l.

Tanpri, pa bliye fè on ti koutpye nan Lakay Graphics kote n ap jwenn on pakèt desen ak anpil lòt bagay sou Ayiti.
