Description:		A. and N. play the matching game "Compare 2".
		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 = 'matching game', Discursive = '', Performance = ''. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
		A. and N. play the matching game "Compare 2". Unlike its predecessor, the game 'Compare', it did not elicit the expected responses (i.e., classificatory use of the positionals), probably because the positions of the various objects were too prominent. But it is still useful for the investigation of locative descriptions.
		Goemai is the only language used in the recording. My previous instructions were in English, though (not recorded).
		Throughout the game, A. acts as the director, and N. as the matcher.
		A. is my main consultant and colleague. He first introduced me to the language (in winter 1998), and established contacts with Goemai in Jos and Kwande. Most data is crosschecked with him. He was born in Kwande (ca. 1935), and he also grew up there. Both his parents are Goemai. He worked as a teacher in several places all over Central Nigeria. He is now retired and lives in Jos. He is the elder brother of D. (same father), and the father's brother of I. and K.
		N. acts as a consultant for me on a regular basis (since winter 2000). He was born in Demshin (ca. 1940), and he also grew up there. Both his parents are Goemai. He worked as a civil servant in several places all over Northern and Central Nigeria. He is now retired and lives in Jos. He is the husband of O.
		This tier ('ort') contains an orthographic transcription. I use an adapted version of Sirlinger's practical orthography.
		the recording is on tracks 4-12 of the Minidisk
		'Compare 2' (Goemai Stimuli, 2001) is a matching game that was designed to prompt the classificatory use of positional verbs. The director and the matcher are asked to compare pictures, in which various objects are depicted. Some of the objects vary in (a) their color, (b) their presence or absence and (c) their position. The speakers cannot see each others' pictures and thus have to rely solely on the verbal descriptions. They are instructed to find out whether or not their pictures are identical.
