Description:C. talks about historical changes in Jos (based on the "Millingen" task). Due to heavy rain falling on the tin roof, part of the recording is difficult to understand.
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 = 'historical-narrative'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
C. talks about historical changes in Jos (based on the "Millingen" task). She includes her life history here: where she had lived, when, what kind of work she did there.
Goemai is the only language used in the recording. My previous instructions and all following discussions are in Goemai, too (not recorded, but see fieldnotes 19.6.2001).
C. acts as my consultant on a regular basis (since winter 2000). She was born in Turnyang (ca. 1940), and she also grew up there. She worked as a teacher and headmistress in several places all over Central Nigeria. She is now retired and lives in Jos.
This tier ('ort') contains an orthographic transcription. I use an adapted version of Sirlinger's practical orthography.
the recording is on tracks 1-2 of the Minidisk Due to heavy rain falling on the tin roof, part of the recording is difficult to understand. And we had to interrupt the narrative for ca. half an hour in between.
This recording is based on an original idea by David Wilkins. He used this task in the Dutch town of Millingen (hence the name of that task), with the purpose to 'elicit' locally anchored spatial gestures. References: Kita, Sotaro. 1999.
