    Documenting the implosives and labial-velars of the Ubangi River Basin

    This contribution reports on a recent field mission carried out in the Ubangi River Basin (Central African Republic). Work focused on 31 varieties belonging to the Bantu, Ubangi, and Central Sudanic subfamilies of Niger-Congo and Nilo-Saharan. The primary objective was to document implosive and labial-velar consonants. To this end, acoustic, electroglottographic, and aerodynamic (pneumotachographic) data were collected. In the context of this presentation: I will present a detailed report on activities within the framework of this mission; I will illustrate the quality and typology of the data and exemplify the usefulness of integrated phonetic research with instances from Central Sudanic Bagiro; I will present a few general remarks on the merit of instrumental data collection for phonetic typology and phonological theory. The hope is that this will serve as a handy reference for fellow researchers interested in instrumental work in the field.
