Description:		These thirty video clips show a person walking in different direction combined with the actions of sitting, standing and picking a bowl. The motion and other activity are shown in different orders in order to elicit how speakers naturally structure motion events that occur before or after another event. The motion01.pdf file lists the video clips and the (sub)events that each one is intended to elicit. The motionelicitation.pdf file shows the order that the clips were shown to the eight participants the clip were tested with. The participants are from Barayin and three other closely-related Chadic languages: Bidiyo, Migaama and Dangla. The goal was to test where Barayin speakers use serial verb constructions to express motion events, and to compare what grammatical structures speakers of closely related languages use in the same context.
		Barayin (or Baraïn) is a Chadic language spoken by about 5000 people in the Guera region of the Republic of Chad. There are approximately 30 to 40 Barayin villages in the Melfi area. There are four groups within the Barayin: Jalkiya, Giliya, Jalking and Komi. These groups all accept the name Barayin for the language group as a whole, although the origins of this name appear to be Arabic. The Jalkiya and Giliya are geographically and linguistically very close to each other. The Jalking and Komi are more isolated. This work focuses on the Jalkiya dialect. In 2010 the Barayin community began working with linguists and literacy specialists to develop an orthography and a mother-tongue literacy program. This project is a collaboration with the language association to produce more audio and video recordings of the language with transcriptions and translations. The recordings and transcriptions have a three-fold application: to produce more material for the mother-tongue literacy program, to provide data for ongoing linguistic analysis, and to preserve unique cultural and linguistic traits against the danger of extinction.
