Description:		Description of the uses of trees (by J.). We looked at trees in four different sites, all in the vicinity of Kwande (beyond the football field). The four media files correspond to these four sites. The recording took place in early evening. Because of the twilight, the video recordings are not too clear.

		The Goemai project is part of a PhD project (begun in August 1998). There are two aims to this project: (1) To investigate the semantics and pragmatics of locative verbs and derived elements. Most of the collected experimental data is concerned with this topic. (2) To document the Goemai language in form of a reference grammar, a dictionary and an annotated text corpus.
		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 = '', Discursive = '', Performance = 'descriptive'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
		J. describes the various trees in the vicinity. He names the trees, explains their uses, and compares different types of trees to each other. The topic was prompted by me. Immediately before the session, I had asked him to show me typical trees and to explain their uses to me. We then went into the bush to look for suitable trees. Whenever such trees were found, I prepared the equipment. And during this time, he had a few minutes to prepare his explanations. My interest in this task was to prompt the use of demonstratives in a semi-natural setting.
		Goemai is the only language that is used throughout this session. Both during the recording itself, and in the preceding (non-recorded) instructions given by me.
		J. was the only participant in the session. The collector does not appear in the recording. And there were no other observers present.
		J. is one of my main collaborators in Kwande (since winter 1998). He acts as a consultant, but also helps to establish and organize new contacts. He was born in Kwande (ca. 1977), and he also grew up there. Both his parents are Goemai. He has never left the area. He is the older brother of L.
		This WAV file was converted from the MPEG file (to be able to use the waveform in ELAN). It is a stereo recording, and can thus not be used with Speech Analyzer.
		The sessions TreesLL and TreesAS have a similar content. The fieldnotes (25.6.2001) contain drawings (the location of the various trees, and the location of the speaker and the camera). The idea for collecting this type of data is based on an original idea by David Wilkins who collected video material (about a grub species and the trees it affects) for the analysis of demonstratives.
