Description:Acquisition of spatial terms in Marquesan; the session shows the interaction between two children by performing the Farm Animals object-object matching task; each interaction is played with two players, one being the Director (=D) and one being the Matcher (M). Both players are seperated by a screen and gaze in the same direction. The Director has to explain an array of toy objects to the Matcher. The Matcher has to construct the array of objects by following the Director's instructions. The original task is a photo-object matching task; this sometimes showed to be leading to problems (due to the way the Director holds the photo) and the reference is not always clear. That is the reason why the researcher changed the task to an object-object matching task. The Director of the game is (9;2) and the Matcher (8;1); the surroundings are unfamiliar to the children; the session is recorded during the day; Director explains configuration 34oc; this configuration does not exist in the original Farm Animals game in Danziger & Hill (1993), but is designer by the researcher; gaze of direction is AROSS (direction Haákuti/Hakahau);
The project investigates the acquisition of Marquesan spatial terms with a particular focus on the acquisition of an absolute system of SEAWRD/INLAND/ACROSS; the absolute system is the preferred spatial system by speakers of Marquesan when talking about spatial relations; children's ages range from 3 to 14 years;
This file was generated from an IMDI 1.9 file and transformed to IMDI 3.0. The substructure of Genre is replaced by two elements named "Genre" and "SubGenre". The original content of Genre substructure was: Interactional = 'conversation', Discursive = 'explanation', Performance = 'instruction'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.

North Marquesan is spoken on the north-western part of the Marquesan archipelago in French Polynesia; MRQ is an Oceanic language of the Austronesian language family. Within the Eastern Oceanic branch MRQ belongs to the Proto-Central-Eastern subgroup of Proto-Eastern Polynesian (Pawley 1966; Green 1966). MRQ is most closely related to South Marquesan (QMS), Hawaiían and Mangarevan forming the Proto Marquesic subgroup which is distinct from Proto Tahitic (e.g. Tahitian, Rarotongan, Tuamotuan). The Marquesan speech community is bilingual (French-Marquesan); French is the language of instruction in schools. Both Marquesan languages are highly endangered languages because parents and caretakers cease to transmit the indigenous languages to their children. In the most urbanised areas of the Marquesas (Taiohaé, Hakahau, Atuona) where approximately 70 % of the population of the archipelago lives, most children under age 15 have acquired French as their first language.
The data was collected during Cablitz' field trips between 1997 and 1999; Cablitz collected the child data on Úa Pou island in the valleys of Hakamaíí and Haákuti
