These photos go way back to October last year when Equeen (left), Maryam and I went to a 3-week narrative discourse workshop in Malang, where Phil and I lived for over a year doing language school. We learnt a method for analysing stories in Papuan Malay and then experimented with applying the discourse features that we discovered in these stories to our draft translations of stories from Luke and Acts. The challenge now is to get more stories that are useful for analysis and to make the time to do the analysis, as we only looked at two stories at the workshop. It was a long time to be away from the family, but well worth it. A bonus for me was being in Malang again and being able to catch up with some old friends. And get a decent haircut.
