Description:A. retells the picture book 'nominalization'.
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 = 'story retelling'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
Goemai is the only language used in the recording. In the previous instructions given by me & in the subsequent discussions, English is used (not on the recording, but see fieldnotes 3.7.2001).
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.
This tier ('ort') contains an orthographic transcription. I use an adapted version of Sirlinger's practical orthography.
the recording is on tracks 1-22 of the Minidisk
Retelling of the Picture Book 'Nominalization' (Goemai Stimuli, 2001). This booklet consists of several sets of pictures. Each set contains two pictures of the same object - but the object is always slightly altered (in size, color, posture). The speaker is then asked to compare the two objects, saying which object(s) he likes best and why. The aim is to prompt speakers to use the nominalized forms of property verbs, locative verbs and others. And to then compare this use to the use of demonstratives (with and without the positional classifiers).
