Professional networking – a prerequisite for participatory orthography research in Kabiye (T Professional networking – a prerequisite for participatory orthography research in Kabiye (Togo)

A strong emphasis on professional networking is crucial for any orthography researcher who wishes to influence the debate about how a particular language should be written. This principle is illustrated with a description of the professional network developed in the course of research on the orthography of Kabiye, one of the “national” languages of Togo. Following a model developed by Fijalkow (2000), the Kabiye social context is divided into five separate but interrelated spheres. They are described in turn, both in terms of their own profile and their relationship to each. The second part examines the linguist’s own relationship with each of the five spheres. Such an approach is recommended for anyone involved in orthography development, particularly in social contexts where the researcher is in an advisory rather than a decision-making role.

                              

   Aucun chercheur en orthographe ne peut se passer d'un solide réseau de relations professionnelles s'il veut influencer le débat et les décisions prises. L'auteur démontre ce principe au moyen d'une description du milieu social dans lequel il a lui-même fait ses recherches sur l'orthographe du kabiyè, l'une des langues dites « nationale » du Togo. D'après le modèle de Fijalkow (2000), il divise le contexte social du kabiyè en cinq sphères, à la fois distinctes et liées les unes par rapport aux autres. Il décrit le profil de chacune, ainsi que sa relation avec la sphère voisine. Enfin, l'auteur se place lui-même dans le contexte social et examine ses propres relations sociales au sein de chacun des cinq sphères.Une telle approche sera d'une grande utilité pour tout chercheur impliqué dans la rectification d'une orthographe, surtout dans des contextes sociaux où lui-même n'est pas l'un des décideurs.
