	John Blacking
		Though this type of documentation was the common practice in Ethnomusicology at the time, these experiences made him acutely aware of the limitations of such field methods, as they did not permit the researcher to establish relationships between the music being recorded and the wider social context of its performance.
		In "Musical Expeditions of the Venda," published in 1962, for example, he showed how musical performance articulated with the Venda political structure, a theme also prominent in "Songs, Dances, Mimes and Symbolism of Venda Girls' Initiation Schools (Parts 1-4)" (Blacking 1969c), which forms the basis of this Website/CD-Rom.
		Musicological analysis was also shown to be dependent upon cultural factors; he outlined the complex inter-relationships between Venda concepts of music, their compositional procedures, the relationships between different genres in the Venda repertoire and the speech-tones of the Venda language in generating the principles of the Venda musical system.

	Noun_classification in ChiVenda
		Noun Classes are assigned numbers which are conventionally used for all the Bantu languages; not all languages have all classes, so, for instance, there are some gaps in the Venda numbering system.
		When terms are adopted or borrowed from other languages, they may come with their own Noun Classes (from other Bantu languages), or they may be adopted into a Noun Class for semantic reasons.
		Venda's system of Noun Classes and Concords seems to affect every structure in the language; not only are all nouns classified and referenced, but infinitives, a number of locatives, and a number of adjectival concepts are nominalized and incorporated into the NC/Concord system.
