![]() Lobo in 1972 |
Over the past twenty years or so there have been a number of people who have claimed that the Tasaday were a hoax perpetrated on a gullible public by unscrupulous individuals for profit, political ambition, and/or publicity.This page will take you to three papers that I have written which discuss the linguistic evidence for recognising the Tasaday as a genuine ethnolinguistic group and not a hoax.
These papers are Adobe Acrobat .pdf files. By clicking on one of the titles, an Acrobat Reader will automatically download to your machine to enable you to view it. If you wish to follow links between the cited example sentences in "The Tasaday Tapes" to their sound and transcribed sources from the tapes, open the paper as an .html document by clicking here. |
