Reading assignment:

Read one of the following sets: Sakata (1983: 53-59, 92-100, 146-168) + (1989). Or Slobin (1970) + (1976: 21-26, 124-25, 204-211).

Plus, one of the following: Berg (2004: 22-44 + browse ch. 2 and 6). Spinetti (2006: ch. 4); (2006: ch. 5). All titles are included in Afghanistan, Tajikistan & Uzbekistan. Note that Slobin 1976 is now available online at http://learningobjects.wesleyan.edu/afghanistan/resources/index.html


Listening suggestions:

From the CDs listed in Central Asia - discography: CDs 1, 2, 11, 15, 26, 28 (in my office); CDs 12, 25, 30 (on reserve).

In the meanwhile, check out some additional recordings in our class media content: Odina Hoshimov's falak is transcribed and discussed in Spinetti 2006: ch. 5: 151-162; while Safar Mehdi's falak is transcribed in Slobin 1976: 208. Muhammadsafar Murodov's falak is just beautiful.

Those who are really keen are welcome to borrow or make copies from my field recordings as well.
